It's Arts and Crafts Time!

Hello future readers,

One of the things I like best about camp is doing arts and crafts. For 2 hours everyday in the craft cabin, they have 2 or 3 tables set up with different things to work on, and you can sign up to have a turn at the pottery wheel. You can choose to do all of the crafts, or just one if you like. It's really far out!

Today I'm at the woodworking table. I'm making a treasure box out of ice-cream sticks for Miss LaSalle for her desk at school. Wendy and Jennifer are putting together flowers out of wood shapes, while they're waiting for me to finish with the glue.











Over at the macrame' table, Robyn and April are making friendship bracelets with cardboard looms, (they've finished 6 already!) while Lisa is showing off the "Ojo de Dios" (God's Eye) she just finished.









It's Cheryl's turn at the pottery wheel. I can hardly wait until it's my turn. It looks like so much fun! I wonder what she's making?





Making stuff is really groovy! I'm gonna need more room in my knapsack to carry all my crafts home! I hope people are artistic in the future, it's so much fun!

Until next time future readers,
Your friend,
Julie Newman

    2. Neat! Kerry told me she'd be helping out at a camp, but I didn't know it was yours! Say hi to Velvet for me!
