Summertime means no school, staying up
later, catching lightening bugs in the evening, and SUMMER CAMPS!!! This
summer, our students attended many different camps.
Deaundre
and DJ picked up some new moves at the Plex Flag Football camp! Through the
Plex’s program, Deaundre and DJ learned about being strong and active not only
physically but also mentally through hard work, drive, and initiative. Deaundre
also performed in the Civic Theatre’s Joseph
and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat as a part of the children’s choir!
Isaiah
and Auntral went to the Euell Wilson summer camp. The Christian-based organization
focuses on helping youth to develop values and skills needed to become
contributing citizens and productive leaders. The boys went to teen night and participated
in dance team. Auntral got to play football at St. Francis. And to top it all
off, they spent a week at Bear Lake! They canoed, slept in a cabin, and roasted
marshmallows nightly!
Shawn
Michael took gymnastics classes at Gymnastics in Motion. The gym believes in
introducing children to healthy physical activity by providing a fun and safe
learning environment! Gymnastics in Motion prides itself on keeping class sizes
small both for safety and so that students can get the individual attention they
need in a positive and helpful atmosphere.
Our girls – Edyn, Medina, and Aaliyah
– spent a week in the great outdoors at Camp Michindoh in Hillsdale, Michigan. Michindoh is a Christian-centered
camp and conference center on a beautiful 250 acres serving adults and youth of
MICHigan, INDiana, and OHio. The girls swam, did lots of activities, and made
new friends in a fun and caring environment! I got a chance to speak briefly
with the Jackson sisters after they returned from camp, and here’s what they
had to say about a few of their favorite things at Michindoh:
Medina loved swimming and going to the
chapel every day! Campers went to chapel once in the morning and once in the
evening daily. Medina found the chapel sessions to be fun and inspiring!
Aaliyah’s favorite activities at camp
were going to chapel, volleyball, crafts, and archery!
