😎 What a groovy week at Groovy Splash Camp!
Campers cooled off with plenty of water play, explored their favorite exhibits, got creative with tie-dye crafts, experimented with bubble science, and enjoyed lots of games and time with friends. We celebrated Boogie Woogie Wednesday with @latroupezetwal, enjoyed our Tuesday Pizza Party 🍕, and wrapped up the week with a sweet trip to Eggers Ice Cream Parlor! 🍨
Thanks to all of our campers for an awesome week of splashing, creating, exploring, and summer fun!
