Here are a few pictures from a fun Hollywood Stars Week! Our campers had a great time making crafts, designing their own Hollywood outfits, playing outdoors, relaxing during Wellness Wednesday, and even watching our baby chickens hatch. They also showed off their style with their own model walks, striking poses based on whatever emotion they were feeling.

As other summer camps begin to wrap up, we provide camp all the way through the end of the summer!

Here is what we have coming up:
-Next Week: Under the Sea (August 10-14)
-Following Week: Superhero Week (August 17-21)
-Final Week: Culinary Creations (August 24-28)

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been running a really cool project here at HOCAS Group that we wanted to share with you.

It started when a neighbor in our community gave us a batch of eggs. We popped them into an incubator, and from day one, our campers were hooked. Every single day, the kids were checking the temperature, keeping an eye on humidity, and learning what actually happens inside an egg as it develops.

Then came lockdown, where we just had to sit back, be patient, and wait. Before we knew it, the chicks started hatching right in front of us. The kids got to watch them take their first steps, help move them into the brooder, and learn how to hold and care for them as they grew.

Today was the best part of the whole thing. The families who signed up to adopt them came by to pick up their new chicks and take them home. It was awesome seeing something that started as a simple gift from one community member turn into a hands-on learning experience for our kids, and finally end with giving healthy chicks back to local families.

We want to give a huge thanks to everyone who helped out, whether you donated the eggs, helped care for the chicks, or gave them a good home today. We really appreciate this community!

It’s been a big day over here in the incubator world! Today we officially put the eggs into "lockdown" mode to get everything ready for hatch day.

Here’s how today’s check went:

-We candled every single egg to check on their progress. Most of our little guys are thriving and right on track! Sadly, 13 didn’t make it, which is always the hardest part of raising chicks, but we’re putting all our care into the rest of the batch.

-We pulled out the automatic turners so the eggs can rest quietly, added distilled water to pump up the humidity, and laid down a soft mesh floor. That way, when tiny wet feet first step out, they won't slip around and can get comfortable right away.

We will update you on:

-Wednesday: HATCH DAY! We'll be keeping a super close eye on the incubator as they start pipping and zipping.

-Friday: Go-home day! For those of you who reserved chicks, they'll be ready to head to their new homes with you on Friday.
We’ll keep you all posted as the first cracks appear and stay tuned for some very cute updates in a few days.

We had so much fun celebrating friendship, creativity, and pampering with everyone who came out today. The energy was amazing from start to finish! Everyone had a fantastic time striking poses at our fun photobooth, making custom friendship bracelets, writing heartfelt friendship cards, and getting their nails painted. Together, we also created a super cool community "friendship tree" that turned out looking amazing!

We want to give a special shoutout and huge thank you to Shelby Lloyd for bringing all the sparkle with her professional hair tinsel, and to Joe' s Pizza Bridgeton NJ for generously donating all the delicious pizza for everyone to enjoy!
