<p class="fontlook"><B>SUMMER CAMP 2009: FOUR WEEKS AROUND A GREEN WORLD</B>

 

<p class="fontlook">Campers from all over Miami as well as a variety of countries around the world joined us to experience Carrollton’s Summer Camp, “Four Weeks Around a GREEN World”. This year our weekly themes revolved around the four elements: earth, fire, water, and air. The girls became artists making recycled braid bracelets, stained-glass tissue mosaics, paper-mâché mirrors, and recycled bottle fish, to name a few. The languages offered included Spanish, French, Chinese and an ESOL course. These language classes gave an in-depth understanding of the culture in addition to the vocabulary introduced, which varied according to the  themes. The excitement did not stop there. In the kitchen, campers transformed into chefs as the smell of cinnamon filled the air from the “monkey bread” they baked. Other treats made included earth cookies, in-door s’mores, red velvet camper cupcakes, ice cream, and butterfly “patisseries”. Every Friday, the girls experienced a fun-filled day of activities including their much anticipated weekly show, put together by the music, theatre, and dance teachers. The shows were a great success with amazing dances, solos, group acts, and many other exciting performances.  Students at Carrollton’s Summer Camp enjoyed a great four weeks around a green world and developed a deep sense of respect for the Earth, through the activities at the camp.
