Thursday, July 27 - First day of 4-H Day Camp


 Since we are having problems loading photos to this blog, you are welcome to view our folder of shared photos.  Enjoy!


 Today was the first day of day camp! Getting past the initial chaos of meeting people, assigning them to groups, and getting ready for the day, there was a lot of excitement. Through many games like Uno and Jenga, we got to meet and befriend many of the kids who came. We also went on a tour of the property, looking at the compost, bees, and conservation and sustainability projects the Punta Cana Foundation leads. We also met their National bird, the Ridgeway Hawk, and learned of the ongoing efforts to preserve and protect this species. Overall, it was a day of learning and fun and we all can’t wait for tomorrow!

Today was very chaotic but fun day. It was our first day of day camp. We definitely had lots of fun but we found it difficult given the language barrier. I was part of the Amarillo group (yellow). We did many activities today but one of my favorites was playing with the kids and getting to know their history and where they are from. I can’t wait for what tomorrow brings.
