🌿🐾 Camp Palmer Week 1: Into the Wild! 🐾🌿
What an incredible first week of Camp Palmer! Our campers kicked off the summer with a wild adventure filled with fun, laughter, new friendships, and unforgettable memories.
From exciting games and creative activities to outdoor exploration and animal-themed learning, campers fully embraced our "Into the Wild" theme with enthusiasm and curiosity. They enjoyed soccer during Olympic Time, a fun mini-golf experience right here at camp, and engaging activities through our clubs, including our Garden Club, where campers planted tomatoes, blueberries, and strawberries that we'll continue to care for throughout the summer.
One of the week's biggest highlights was our visit to the Lehigh Valley Zoo, where campers participated in special educational presentations and learned about fascinating animals like the Mwanza Pancake Tortoise, Monti the Angolan Python, and Morey the Argentine Black and White Tegu.
We also celebrated Jersey Day on Friday! It was wonderful to see so many campers and counselors proudly wearing their favorite team jerseys. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped showcase the teamwork, collaboration, and camp spirit that make Camp Palmer so special.
Along the way, campers met our amazing counselors, built new friendships, learned new things, and created memories that will last a lifetime. And of course, pool time made the week even more exciting!
Week 1 was just the beginning of a summer filled with learning, adventure, laughter, and lasting friendships. A huge thank you to our campers for their energy, our families for your trust, and our incredible counselors for making it all happen.
