Answer: Participate in Summerscape Trivia Night!
It's RA Elizabeth here again. Our kids had a blast answering questions about inventors, famous statues, physics, current events, and RA facts at our annual trivia night - congrats to Seth's activity group who swept the competition (fun fact: Did you know that Seth met his best friend when he went to Summerscape in 7th grade?).
I also know I promised in my last post to update the blog with some videos from the Messy Olympics - this one's from "Hose in the Pants," an event where the groups had to weave a hose (turned on all the way!) in and out of their clothes:
The kids also had a great time at our service project on Thursday, when we helped Kids Against Hunger pack over 15,000 meals for families in Africa. Despite it being hot, the campers were troopers and had a ton of fun. I think my favorite line of the night was when one of our sixth grade boys came up to me during evening free time and said, "You know, at first I wasn't that excited but then I got really into it and didn't even notice the time passing! I just felt really good that we got to help people tonight."
We also had a fun-filled, class-free day yesterday at Jordan Valley Park and the Springfield Art Creamery. The kids spent the afternoon tie-dying t-shirts, making duct tape wallets and painting mixed media collages. Even the guys got really into the crafts, as you can see here:
Tonight we have one of Summerscape's most famous, secretive and fun events - Midnight Madness (don't worry, it actually only goes from 7 to 9 pm). Then it's the talent show on Tuesday and toga party on Wednesday and another year at 'Scape will already be over!
