What fun activities happened in 2011 Camps? Scroll down the page to see the pictures and stories:
"Summer Camp feels like one big playdate with Jingle Jeff!" --- A 6 year old said
How was camp? "GREAT!" --- A 7 year old said
Jingle Jamboree Summer Music Camp for Elementary students is off to a wonderful start as students have spent this week learning song games that have turned into reading and writing a 32 beat song with four melodic pitches and three rhythms!! The children were able to identify the melody and the rhythm on two different days this week. We have also had a performance and in-service by the Bay Area Rock Band: Indugu and an alto saxophone performance by Rosie Romick who will be a Junior this year in Berkeley High School's band. Rosie is one of the camp counselors and had been section leader in her band for two years.
Campers have spent much time bonding and getting to know each other.
Singing songs for circle games that lead to music literacy and playing "Music Clothesline" in the afternoon! The children are having so much fun making music during the Summer Music Camp called "Exploring Music."
Crafts are a very fun part of music camp as the children made Mosaic Flower Pots this week with grout, sea glass, shells, stones & beads. Today they planted the flowers!
"Chicken in the Hen House - can't Dance Josey"
Chow Chow & Princess are wondering where all the campers are (it's the weekend). All the animals & flowers await the children's return on Monday.
Thank you to Ifshin Violin in El Cerrito who gave us a tour today of the violin education program and repair shop. Thank you to Debbie Dare who hosted us today. At the end of the presentation Debbie presented all the children with a flashing light up violin pin!!! Be sure and stop in the store to meet Debbie and the other great staff. You can call them at (510) 843-5466 and visit them online at ifshinviolins.com
Debbie showed us how violins were made and let each camper hold each part of the violin. We met all the repairmen for the violins too.
Then Debbie played the Double Bass, the Cello & the Violin for us.
Then we walked back to the music studio in the rain! This is the first time in 6 years the campers have been caught in the rain!!
Monday fun in the sand!!
Summer Session II - The Beginning Musical: "Proud" with the story of protecting yourself from bullying by KidPower.org
The singing in this group is really amazing. I am so proud of the preparation the children have done before arriving on the first day of camp. Today they were even singing in two part harmony!! This will be a wonderful production.
The children made grass heads for one of their crafts this week!!
Papier Mache masks will be featured in the Tiger story. The children spent craft time making the masks and will finish them next week.
Spending time with the chickens has been a highlight for the children in the beginning musical camp this summer.
The children really enjoyed making masks for the Kidpower Tiger story. The masks are used by park workers to scare away the tigers. I think it will really work. These papier mache masks took several days to make. What a great craft to take home after the performance!
