Creative Arts Camp: Day 1

Hello everyone! It's Morgan. This week Melodie, Briana, Emily and I are helping at a Creative Arts Camp. Our campers are our little sisters and their friends, and we are so excited to get to do this.

The camp is three days long, and yesterday was the first day. We are going to be posting about the camp for the next three days, and I'm super excited to show you what we did. So, let's get started.

Melodie, Briana and I got to the location early to set up. Emily came a little later with Sierra, who offered to photograph the camp. She took a few photos while we got ready for everyone.

Our campers started arriving, so I put on the album from Dreamworks' "Trolls". Ella, Elizabeth, Ariana and Anna started to have a dance party.

Go Anna! Isn't her robot jumper so cute?

Ella attempting to do the worm. I'm surprised at how well she can do it. I can't even do the worm.

Elizabeth is the only one dancing like a normal person.She looks absolutely fabulous in her pretty white shirt with blue flowers that match her eyes.

Ariana was nervous about camp, so she was hanging around me. I tried to dance with her, but she didn't really want to.

Audrey, Summer and Ariel joined in after they arrived.

We only have 7 campers, which we feel is a good amount. Since all the younger girls are so close, it's going to be a whole lot of fun.

Anna was so excited Summer was there, so she went over and sat with her, and they sang along to all the songs.

The two cousins; Ella and Elizabeth.

You can barely see Ariel in the corner, doing her thing. Audrey was doing a split.

Wow, Ella. Sierra caught this photo while she was going from a bridge to standing up. I can't really describe it, but I can assure you it was really cool.

Everyone was having a great time on the dance floor. Ariana decided she didn't really want to dance, so she and I cheered everyone on.

These girls never cease to amaze me with how fun and creative they are in their dances.

After a good dance party, Emily and I started to choreograph a group dance for the girls to perform. They are all going to be dressing up as Disney princesses, and it's going to be a lot of fun. We may be able to use the dance for a performance later in the year.

The girls sat in the groups we assigned them in while we demonstrated the choreography.

Briana and Melodie watched as Emily and I choreographed.

We split the girls up into groups to do partner work. They all picked up the choreography really quickly, and I was super impressed with them.

After dancing, we were all hungry, so we had lunch. Afterwards, everyone sat around and chatted before we did a craft.

The girls just hanging after lunch.

The craft was making masks based off of each girl's chosen princess.

Our supplies. We found a template for a mask on the Web, and I had yarn and scissors already. We also had a large box of crayons for the girls to use to color with.

We took a group photo of everyone in their beautiful creations.

Afterwards, we danced around until the parents showed up to pick everyone up. I'm super excited for tomorrow.

Do you go to summer camp?
