Week 2 of Cardinal Camps at Crete Elementary was full of fun, movement, and creativity! 🌱🏀🤖
Campers planted seeds, played basketball, danced with robots, enjoyed classic card games, explored stories in Dr. Seuss Camp, and wowed us in the Talent Show! 🎭📚
We’re halfway through and already so impressed by the energy and excitement our students bring each day! ❤️
🚀 Week 1 of Cardinal Scholars and Cardinal Camps is in the books—and what a week it was!
Here's a snapshot of just a few things that went on last week.
📚 In Enrichment, students put their creativity and writing skills to the test by designing their own playgrounds and writing persuasive letters to convince an imaginary principal their design was the best.
🎨 At Math Mania Camp, learning came to life through hands-on activities that combined math, art, and play!
🌌 And in Space Camp, students explored the wonders of the galaxy, wrapping up the week with a planetarium experience—complete with an inflatable igloo and star-filled projections!
We’re just getting started—can’t wait to see what Week 2 brings! ❤️
