During our second week of camp, we will explore the Wild West! We will incorporate communication skills during our center time.
Cowboy Camp: A fun dramatic play center where campers are free to explore a "campfire," wear cowboy hats and bandannas and pretend to camp out on the range.
- Communication Goal: Encourage children to communicate with each other while having fun working together as cowboys!
