Arghhhh matey’s (as well as princesses)! You guessed it…this week was Camp Pirates and Princesses!!! This is ALWAYS such a fun week as we “Walk the Plank” (obstacle course), find buried treasure, sailed ships, played in the water during Water day, balanced books on our heads, wore tiaras & wands, and made fun festive Art to go along with the Camp theme.
We ended the week with a Dress Like a Pirate or Princess day!
Be sure to keep an eye out on our public page to vote for the dress-up contest with the teachers! (Children LOVE when grownups dress up and participate in the fun activities too!)
Some fun PIRATE AND PRINCESS activities you can do at home with your children:
1. Go on a Pirate/Scavenger Hunt for Buried Treasure (recognizing letters, numbers, or shapes)
2. Create Pirate Discovery Bottles (add craft sand, glitter, beads, gold sequins, shells, and jewels)
