Camp Program- Day 4

This past Friday we shared camp day 3 with the children. Our location for the day was the Prince of Wales museum, an arts and history museum. The day started off like all of the other days with our group meeting the children in front of the museum for breakfast. We then divided into groups and began exploring the museum. After viewing different exhibits we came together for the activity portion of the day.  The theme of the day was teamwork so all of the activities were based on performing tasks together.  The group prepared four stations each requiring participants to work together to achieve a common goal. As each small group made their way through the stations the excitement and energy could be heard from all around the lobby. Orli Schwartz ran the first station which consisted of a rubber band with strings attached to it and plastic cups. The goal was to build a pyramid with the cups by only using the elastic and strings to stretch over the cups and lift them.  The next station was run by me , Leeat Perlman, here the children were given a puzzle which they had to complete as quickly as possible. By working together to complete the puzzle the teams were able to complete them quite fast. The third station was run by Carly Arch. Here the kids played human knot, a game where they all hold the hands of those across the circle from them and need to untangle themselves without letting go. Finally, Koby Spiegel prepared a game where a rope was tied up and all of the participants needed to get over the rope to the other side without touching it. All in all it was a good day. The children learnt that by working together they can not only achieve things faster and more fun fashion.  They also learned that by working together they can achieve more by sharing ideas.
