Week 1 Recap - Asian Odyssey
Summer is off to an exciting start at the Boys & Girls Club of Vista as we wrap up Week 1 of our Summer Camp. Check out what you missed!
On the first day of Summer Camp, our Teens went to Clay n' Latte, where they painted their very own piece of pottery. They learned how art can help unleash their creativity and that art is something anyone can do. Our littles learned about the value of teamwork by playing soccer and capture the flag. They also played pool, built creations with Legos, and enjoyed gym time.
On Tuesday, the kids learned that science can be fun and delicious by making ice cream in a ziplock bag. All it took was half-and-half, sugar, vanilla extract, ice, and salt. After shaking the bag for a bit, their ice cream was ready to be enjoyed. For the first Kinder through Fifth grade field trip, Club kids enjoyed playing mini golf, laser tag, and amusement rides at Boomers!
On Wednesday, the Club kids were surprised by a snofoam snowstorm thanks to Dr. Bronner's Magic Foam Experience! Club kids got to make soapy snow angels and show off their dance moves. For our first Career Launch Field Trip, the kids visited Pepper Tree Frosty owned by our Board member and Vista’s finest Dan Villasenor. They learned about his entrepreneurial ventures and how his business has and continues to be a family-owned and run business.
On Thursday, the Club Kids defied gravity at Sky Zone Trampoline Park by playing Sky Hoops and testing their athletic skills on the Ninja Warrior Course. Later in the day, they tested their competitive spirit through riveting games of dodgeball in the gym, ping pong in the games room, soccer on the field, and Duck, Duck, Goose for our littles in the ‘Duck Pond.’
To wrap things up for the first week, our Teens visited the Wave Waterpark to hang out in the lazy river and fly down the windy waterslide. Our littles were introduced to physics and aerodynamics by making paper airplanes and showing each other how far their planes can soar.
Summer is just getting started at the Boys & Girls Club of Vista!
