Focus up week 5: Myths and Legends

Myths and Legends / Chillers Paddy Lynn (Special Guest Speaker)

What are myths and legends? When I thought up this area of study for week 5. My first thought was the Olympics, and ancient Greece. Then I spoke with Paddy Lynn, who is an amazing story actor, and she suggested telling chillers. So then I thought why not cryptids, things like Big foot and Lochness. Then I thought, it is camp we can do it all. With our focus on discovery, education and recreation the sky is really the limit. In all our weeks we will be playing games and doing classes with the intention of including one of our clever areas of study. Maybe Bigfoot Games for the whole camp, and in science we could uncover why people believed that the Greek gods through bolts of lightning, and maybe we could even make up our own myths and legends in literature, and, and... You get the point. See you at camp!

What's goin' on...

It my mind that title sounds more musical than it reads. Well, I have not posted in two weeks cause we are sorta at a good resting place. We can continue moving forward now though, and I have. T-shirts have been designed,buses have been reserved, and we have scheduled our pool day. So there is a lot of great stuff happening. I am genuinely excited about Summer. I think About the amount of heart and excitement that goes into DaVinci Academy Summer camp, and I just can't help but sing a song. Hopefully, I will get a chance to sing it with you at camp. See you at camp.
