Foundations for Early Childhood Excellence on DeCamp

Please help us wish a VERY happy birthday to Crystal, our DeCamp Assistant Director, program-wide mentor, and organizational queen! 🎉

For over ten years, Crystal has shared her knowledge and heart with our families, teachers, and children - all while going to college and raising three children of her own! If something is labeled, color-coded, perfectly arranged, or decorated for each month…there’s a very good chance Crystal had something to do with it. ✨

We are so lucky to have someone who brings so much love and dedication to our DeCamp family. Crystal, thank you for keeping us organized, keeping us inspired, and making everything just a little prettier!

This month was all about superheroes, and our first responders are truly real-like superheroes. Thank you for everything you do to help keep our community safe! ‍👨🏻‍🚒🚒

If it’s not messy… DON’T INVITE US! 🫟

Today’s lesson? The messier, the better!

Our Pre-K friends dove headfirst into a sensory adventure. Sure, we may have sent home a little extra laundry… but we also sent home curious minds, growing imaginations, and memories worth every stain!

Warning: Our campers may come home with extra smiles... and maybe a little extra color! 🌈😂

Today's Color Foam Party was foam-azing from start to finish! We laughed, danced, played, and made memories that won't wash away anytime soon. 🫧💛
