Hello friends who are looking for oceans of fun! Every Friday, we are delivering new opportunities to participate in camp programming via our website and social media. Your family will have new and exciting options to engage in activities, crafts, cabin chat conversations, fun resources, and more to help support you through this unprecedented time. While we know this doesn’t replace the joy of coming to camp, we hope it provides some respite and happiness to your family. We would LOVE to hear from YOU about what you would like to see included. Are there certain camp games you want to share with your family? Skits you would like to see online? Staff you want to hear from? We want to hear all about it! Please send your ideas to   [email protected]. This week’s theme is "Under the Sea". We here at Camp Korey love the opportunity to spend time with you all here at camp or wherever you may be in this moment! This week we will give you opportunities to dive into some fun things together!!

Campers: Take time to really highlight some amazing things that your caregivers do for you every day! Do they make sure you have food on your plate, encourage you to brush your teeth, help you with school work, or make sure you have a place to lay your head at night? Take time to make a leg link for each thing that your caregiver does for you! Caregivers: What inspires you about your campers? Do they make you laugh, proud, and full of love? Take time to make a leg link for each thing that your camper does for you!

Cabin Chat is a reflective activity that every camper participates in during summer camp programs. Campers are asked questions and encouraged to share with their new friends. We encourage you to host a Cabin Chat with your family!

Identify a talking object. Whoever has the talking object is the only one sharing at that moment.  Don’t laugh unless it's meant to be funny. What happens in Cabin Chat stays in Cabin Chat. This is a space where everyone should feel safe to share! Challenge by Choice. Everyone has the options to choose to share, or choose to pass on a question.

If you could be a mermaid or pirate which one would you be and why? If you could be any animal who lives in the ocean which one would you be? If you could visit any body of water in the world, which would you visit any why?
