Week one of camp was great. He got a swim lesson and free time in the pool with a life jacket every day. He also did rock climbing, archery, gardening, made a tie dye shirt, and went paddling around a cove in a canoe.
We are in the process of moving so we didn't do any writing this weekend. He did read a lot because while packing he found a lot of books he forgot he had.

On the last day his getting off the bus was delayed so his camp friend (a ten year old girl) could give him all the gifts she made him and write down her number and address for a play date. smile

So even if there is a backslide in some academic areas, I think this camp was a good idea. He is having a lot of fun.
