summer day camp ideas for 4 year old?
I would like to send my daughter to a couple of half day camps this summer but finances are limited right now. I thought I would come up with some weekly themes and ideas of my own and we could have our own summer camp for a couple hours based on a weekly theme. Does any body have any ideas to help me out? Here are some of the ideas I have come up with: Nature Camp: pick, press and dry some flowers and leaves and put them into a picture frame which we have decorated, take a nature hike and look for birds and animals, make plaster casts of animal footprints. Art Camp: spread a large piece of paper on the ground outside and use your body to paint a giant picture, cut pictures out of a magazine and make a collage, make beads out of modeling clay of some sort, paint them and make jewelry, use an old digital camera to take pictures, print them out and make a book or something to display her photographs. Sports camp: visit local ice rink, swimming, I need help with this one! Other ideas?
Those are great ideas. Ask your daughter to come with some ideas of things she would like to learn about. We did this at a child care center one year and the kids came up with ideas we wouldn’t have. It was great and they were more interested and excited about it because it was their own idea. We did a unit on space/astronauts, and one on dinosaurs. I can’t remember what else but there we things we wouldnt have thought of.
There are lots of preschool websites that can help you think of themes as well. Here are a couple:
