On Monday, November 30, 2009, I took 4 Brown Girl princesses to Walt Disney Studios to see a pre-screening of The Princess & the Frog and to participate in The Ultimate Disney Experience afterwards. As you can see by the photo above, we had a fantastic time! (The girls even had a chance to mimic a Senior Animator on the film as he drew one of the main characters. And to top it all off, he even signed their artwork!)
The purpose of the outing was to gather together confirmed Adventurers and prospective Adventurers before camp in April as a great way to break the ice and make the girls feel comfortable so that there is no pressure fitting in. As you probably know, and according to the American Camp Association, "[e]xciting activities, quality staff, special events, meaningful rituals, and camp spirit are great features of camp, but they can never make up for the importance of fitting in."
There are 8 openings for CampCaribe's nascent learning adventure program with two confirmed as of this date; I hope to have the remaining 6 slots filled by December 31 or January 15 at the latest, so that we can get some more bonding time in even if we have to Skype to do it!
With all of my heart and commitment,
Tracey, Camp Director
CampCaribe
This is such a wonderful opportunity for my girls. They have been excited about the very thought of being on an island that even Mom has yet to see. Thanks One Brown Girl and Camp Caribe!
ReplyDeleteWaving hello at Tameeka! Hey there, Excited Mom! We're excited too! I spoke to Alley and Coco last night and we were talking about how soon Spring will be here (even though it's cccooold now). Can't wait to see and/or talk to the girls again. Give them my best. And let me know how the fundraising is going. Tracey =)
