☀️🎉 **WHAT A WAY TO END THE SUMMER!** 🎉☀️

Last Friday we celebrated the end of an AMAZING summer at LFCDC with the **BEST End-of-Summer Tailgate Party!** 🥳

Our kiddos had an absolute blast with:

🏰 A **bounce house from the Atlantic YMCA** — a HUGE thank you to **Dan Haynes** for helping make that happen!
🫧 An awesome foam party with **The Foamy Gnome from Omaha**
🍕 **Casey’s Pizza**
🍦 A delicious **Ice Cream Bar**
☀️ And LOTS of playing, laughing, and making memories!

It was the perfect way to wrap up a summer full of camps, field trips, special visitors, adventures, and so much FUN! ❤️

We are incredibly thankful for everyone who helped make not only this party, but our entire summer program so special for our kiddos.

📸 **Here are a few pictures from our fun-filled day!**

Until next summer! ☀️🫧🍕🍦❤️

🧪🔬 **What an AMAZING Science Camp Week!** 🔬🧪

We had such a fun-filled week of **experimenting, exploring, discovering, and learning!** Our campers got to put their curiosity to work with hands-on science activities all week long. 🧫⚗️🧬✨

We wrapped up the week with an awesome field trip to **Anderson Conservation**, and it was the perfect way to end Science Camp! 🌿🐢🐾

A HUGE **thank you to Critter Cass** for making our visit so much fun and sharing your knowledge with our kiddos! They absolutely loved it! 💚

Another unforgettable summer camp week at **Lakin Foundation Child Development Center of Griswold!** ☀️🧪 We can’t believe how quickly this amazing summer is flying by!
