Camp Wa Wa Segowea Session # 6 is complete!

Can it be the 2011 summer is already 3/4 done? It is! Just 2 weeks are remaining and those 2 weeks are jam packed full of activities. This past session, Session 6, was busy as usual with events like Casino Night, the very popular Carnival, the Overnight and the Whistle Chase. The highlight of the week though was a visit and performance by Native American storyteller, Matoaka Little Eagle, from the tribes of Tewa, Apache and Chickahominy. She told stories of her father Swift Eagle, educated us on Native American life, played some native instruments (and shared them with the campers) and even led the camp in several traditional Native American Dances. She's from New Paltz, New York, and travels quite a bit to play at festivals and we were very lucky to have her perform! Thank you again Matoaka Little Eagle!

We're into Session 7, which is occurring right now with events like Exploration Night, The Olympics and Halloween in August! More kids are signed up for these last two weeks, so we're definitely finishing up the summer strong! We've already heard inquiries into next summer, so it's never too early to reserve your spot for next year. Just let Kat know!

Here's some pictures from Session 6, including some of the regular daily happenings at camp.
