Summer Camp Activities by Day

Day One: Safety & Bullying

The first day of camp will focus on topics related to safety and bullying. Speakers from High Point Police and Fire Departments will be available to speak with the campers and offer safety
tips. Campers will prepare “safety” themed snacks, engage in a lesson called “smart-n-safe” and conclude with a tour of a fire truck and police car.


Day Two: Germs

Lesson focus is entitled, “Join the Clean Club.” Instruction will center around the difference between good germs and bad germs and help campers understand the need for good hygiene
in protecting themselves against bad germs. Campers will make “fuzzy germs” as part of the activities of the day.


Day Three: General Health

Campers will learn all about maintaining general health and basic body systems. One favorite activity of the day will include the making of a “wearable paper human body” to illustrate various
organs and their function.


Day Four: Dental Health 


Campers will learn how to keep their teeth healthy and strong as Sheriff Tuffy Tooth explains the importance of brushing and flossing for a cavity-free smile! After the program, campers will
make an “Apple Smile” snack and create a “Smiling Self Portrait” before playing in the Wellness Discovery Room.



Day Five: Nutrition and Exercise


The final day of camp focuses on the importance of healthy eating and exercise. Campers will learn the basics of taking care of the one body we have with our “Food, Fitness and Fun”
program. After the program, campers will make personal pizzas to enjoy with a delicious fruit smoothie. We will end our day with fruit and veggie BINGO and some fun prizes!

*On the days where time permits, campers will have an opportunity to play in our Wellness Discovery Room which has an X-Box Kinect, IPads, Dance Revolution and much more!
