July 5th - 8th, 2016
This week at Baroody Camps campers we extended our celebration of the Fourth of July throughout the week.  We hosted another week of Lego Engineering, Basketball, and Field Trip camps.  The Field Trip campers even saw a famous celebrity while out on their trip! 

Some camper & counselor  quotes from the week: 
"I really liked when we played with the bubbles this week and made the jumbo bubbles!"  
"I like making new friends and the dance party during Fit Kids!"
"It was fun seeing Mr. Baroody again!"  
"I like making yummy Rice Krispie treats and slime!"
