Yee-haw it has been a brilliant day at camp today as we explored the Wild Wild West. We had so much fun making our own sheriff badges, robbers masks and wanted posters; some of us even created beautiful and artistic cacti!

During our sports session, we played games that involved collecting gold and going up against different teams to see who could collect the most. The cowboys worked together to complete a number of set tasks in the time given and without the sheriffs catching them - not an easy feat when up against the best sheriffs in town!

For one activity we developed our cowboy skills by lassoing poles with quoits and hoops, practising our aim using tin cans and panning for gold. We ventured down to the gold mine (gazebo) and, using our frontier skills, panned for small pieces of this precious metal - many of us struck gold and found small pieces!

As part of our arts and crafts session, children went about creating their own wanted posters to help catch some on the run criminals, as well as badges that they could wear to show they really meant business! It was great to see such a wonderful variety of craft - check out our photo gallery to see some of our art work.

We all had a great deal of fun learning some country dancing moves in our performing arts workshop with some country tunes, and we loved watching these be performed by the rest of camp at the end of the day!

Tomorrow's theme is: Lumen Summer Camp Olympics, so the children should be ready to go for gold!!! Which team will top the medal table at Lumen?
