Radio Camp 2013 – Day 27 – The Omega (Man) Day
It’s hard to believe, but we’ve reached the end of Summer Dreamers 2013. It’s been a good ride–we’ve learned new things, made new friends, played new games, and lost a ton of Four Square. Today, two of our campers presented Radio Camp and our accomplishments to the rest of Summer Dreamers during the All Camp Meeting. We then setup an open house for all visiting parents, with a display table featuring each student’s final writing project. Afterwards, we headed outside to play our final round of Four Square.
