Welcome to my Blog for the Branson Kids on the Go Day Camp

Hello,

Jeanie Anderson here. I have directed some people to come to this blog to learn more about the summer day camp program I did last Summer. Unfortunately, I just realized that the pictures have been removed for some reason. I will be working on that in the coming days to try and post them again. But, for now you can have a little more information to think about regarding my plans for 2011.

Here are the theme weeks I am planning to implement:

- Sports Adventure Week (Sports and Outdoor recreation)
- Underwater Adventure Week (swimming, waterslides and sea animals)
- Discover Adventure Week (Science and Nature)
- "Lights, Camera, Action" Adventure Week (Concentrating on Drama and Music)
- Animal Adventure Week (learn about animals, not just act like them :)
- Holiday Adventure Week (learn about a different Holiday each day)

Field Trips, Games, Crafts and Songs will be used each week to highlight the theme and provide learning opportunities as well as lots of fun!!!

Please Contact me for more information if you are interested 417-544-1208. Or you can email me at kidsonthego2010@gmail.com

Thanks for your time,

Jeanie Anderson

Summer is Going, Going, Gone!

This was our summer of Go, Go, Go! And now it is going, going, gone! We have been doing Dutton Day Camp for the past two months (on and off) with a couple weeks of no camp since I had to be out of town for church girls' camp and my family reunion. Throughout the summer we have had six weeks of the Dutton Day Camp. Typically the hours were Mon,Tue,Thurs & Friday from 12 noon till 4 pm - except on the days we ended up being gone till 5 or 6. I am lucky that the parents were willing to be flexible with me since my time planning did not usually allow for the unexpected mishaps which sometimes would occur. (like getting a bit lost, extra potty breaks, traffic jams etc.) It was a learning experience for all of us, especially for me since I used this summer as a pilot program for the "Kids on the Go" day camp that I have been dreaming up for a few years now. I've learned much about what works, and what does not work with a group of 12 - 15 kids. But, mostly I have learned that if kids are engaged in new experiences and learning new things, then behavior problems are very minimal. We had very few issues with behavior considering the types of field trips we attempted. Overall, Dutton Day Camp was a very good experience for all the kids, teens and grown-ups who participated in it. I decided to start a blog to record what we did each week, and to post the pictures for the Duttons, Wrights and Arambulos to see what their kids were up to this summer.
