MORNING SESSIONS
NEW! Teddy Bear Camp: Colors
A WT summer camp tradition for our youngest campers is back
with a new twist! This week of Teddy Bear Camp will explore
COLOR. We will take time to play in the outdoors and to explore all of the amazing
summer colors in plants, people, animals,
and our environment! Warning: Campers will be so busy enjoying water play,
games, stories, sand play, songs, and
crafts that there will be no time for your
little bear to hibernate! Campers will also
enjoy the chance to create their own color
bear that we hope will be a life-long friend to
help them remember their time at Teddy Bear Camp 2016!
NEW! All Pro Football Camp
The All Pro Football Camp will teach campers the basic fundamentals of football in an atmosphere that emphasizes sportsmanship, teamwork, and the joy of sports. This program is ideal for children who have never
played organized football, as well as those
who have played youth football for several years. In addition to learning fundamentals, techniques, and strategies
of the sport, campers will participate
in flag football games every day as well
as fun games and contests such as “Punt,
Pass, and Kick” and “NFL Fast Football.”

hideouts in the forest, making forest decorations, nature journaling, and storytelling. This camp is held completely outdoors.
Bring your wellies and your raincoat if it looks like the weather
will be wet. We also ask that campers bring an extra set of clothes
– just in case!
Campers will learn a variety of cheers, jumps, kicks, and movements. We’ll also play fun cheerleading games and decorate crazy
uniforms to wear at an exhibition on the last
day of camp. Cheerleading camp provides
children a highly active endeavor in a
non-competitive environment that fosters fun and friendship.

fun, hands-on chemistry camp.
Let’s Clay! Creative campers will learn how to craft unique figures
from basic shapes using easy polymer clay techniques and tools.
Projects will be inspired by examples of miniature animals, plants,
furniture, and food that have been created by professional and
amateur clay artists. We will use our artistic vision and imaginations to create miniature cookies, bread, ice cream cones, cupcakes, emojis, cartoon characters, unicorns, pizzas, puppies, and
more! We will explore popular techniques such as stamping, caning, painting, baking, and the Skinner Blend. Campers will be encouraged to use basic jewelry techniques that they will learn in
camp to transform their polymer clay masterpieces into wearable
works of art. We will equip all campers with the clay, tools, and
accessories that they will need to create, create, and create more!

FULL DAY SESSIONS
MORNING SESSIONS
Saddle Club Jr. and Sr.
NEW! Teddy Bear Camp:
Move and Groove
Giddy up! Campers should be ready for a full day of horse-loving
fun! Half of the day will be spent at the Cedar Run Farms (only a
five minute van ride from WT’s campus) and the
other half will be spent on campus working
on projects, learning about horses, and
enjoying games and activities linked to
our love of horses! We will research and
study the characteristics of different
breeds of horses, prepare special snacks
for horses, paint horseshoes, meet a farrier, play games, and explore additional
horse-themed activities and projects. While
at the barn, the teacher/counselor/horse to camper ratio will be
1:3. Under the watchful eye of knowledgeable instructors and
counselors, campers will enjoy a 45-minute horseback riding lesson on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, and campers will
practice the constant respect and understanding for safety when
working with horses. Wednesdays will be our pool day at the barn.
Each camper will assume shared responsibility for “their horse”
for the week, handling the daily stable chores for grooming, feeding, tacking, mucking, untacking, and riding. Amid the daily horse
activities, riding instructors maintain the camp spirit of fun, new
friendships, and the discovery and celebration of new abilities.
Guided by knowledgeable, passionate Cedar Run Riding Instructors, riding lessons will be adapted to meet rider comfort-level,
experience, and ability. One thing is for certain, this camp will
create memories that will last a lifetime!

week in the Caribbean. Come experience the wonders of Puerto
Rico, Cuba, and Haiti while we dive into island culture. As world
travelers, campers will ignite all their senses as they sing, dance,
drum, absorb, play, and taste the wonders of Caribbean culture.
Each day campers will learn about the roots of the music, culture,
and geography through hands on experience. We will practice
songs and dances in native languages while learning the English
meanings. Campers will discover the connection of music, dancing, and language as they groove to Bomba, Salsa, and Plena music. The week will end with a performance in traditional costumes

explanation, hands-on instruction, group practice sessions, and
individual performance. Campers will assume a stage name and
will have the chance to dazzle an audience at the end-of-program

young magician will have the necessary tools to not only perform
small illusion magic tricks, but also to personalize them with his/
her own performance style and flair!
Grades: 1, 2
9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Aspiring song-writers and performers will learn steps and strategies
on how to write a song. We will experiment with different genres
and forms of songs, and share our favorites
with fellow campers. As we work to understand music and to create our own
songs, campers will learn about how
rhythms, beats, and melodies work
and how to set the tone and mood for
our listeners. We will use the power
of our words to inspire and entertain
one another as we work to connect our
words with music. This is not all work – we
will also play! We will challenge one another to create new lyrics
that fit within popular existing songs that we all know and love
and will write lyrics that celebrate the sights, sounds, and the fabulous mood of summer!
Lead Instructor: Lisa Marcellus, WT Camp Faculty
NEW! Marionette Workshop
Campers will create a unique marionette puppet! We will design,
draw, create patterns, cut, saw, drill, paint, decoupage, glue, sew,

the Jedi Code toward a peaceful and cooperative galactic society. Based on the
Star Wars® movies, the activities will

the outdoors and you crave for adventure, then this is the camp for you!
Inspired by the PBS show, this camp is absolutely, positively wonderful! We will spend each afternoon exploring dance and life
with Angelina Ballerina! Imaginative, clever,
determined, and feisty, spirited campers will

beloved childhood stories. Many children joined us for an enchanted week of
camp hosted by the magical Fairy Queen
Blaney to help solve familiar problems of
our favorite characters. Children worked together to conquer the unexpected challenges that occurred within the stories told by the Fairy Queen each day. Campers used
their imaginations and scientific minds to help design a house that
couldn’t be blown down, build a chair that was just right for Goldilocks, construct a bridge that helped to protect three billy goats
from one old, angry troll, and so much more! The campers used
their magical powers to problem solve, design, and create solutions that SAVED THE DAY! ...And they lived happily ever after.

stories from childhood. Campers worked together to conquer the

that couldn’t be blown down, build a chair that was just right for
Goldilocks, constructed a bridge that helped to protect three billy
goats from one old, angry troll, and so much more! The campers
