Week SIX with the sensational sunshine :)

We started off the week with a lovely tour at one of the oldest hotels in Vancouver: The St. Regis Hotel. The campers learned about the decor, artwork and how a hotel is managed. They even got a tour of a room where the famous Lady Gaga stayed in while performing in Vancouver. When the tour ended the youth were treated to delicious hotel chocolates. Following the tour, we trekked to Stanley Park and watched a wonderful Native hoop dance. They also enjoyed riding the mini-train. On Tuesday the youth voted on watching "The Smurfs". We shared popcorn and laughed at the shenanigans of the little blue people on screen. When we arrived back at the community centre, we celebrated one of our campers birthday with delicious birthday treats and a yummy cake. Wednesday, we learned about the wonders of space at the Planetarium. For some, this was their first time and for others this was their billionth time- though they never seem to get bored about the mysteries of space and rockets. Thursday was a major hit with the campers. On this sunny day, we went to Granville Island to Bead Works and made necklaces or bracelets. The youth picked out their own coloured beads and charm and with the help of Bead Works experts, they made beautiful pieces of jewelry. Friday the kids joined Marpole-Oakridge Community Centre's "Fun Seekers" camp at Hillcrest Pool. They certainly love the whirl pool and the massive blow-up slides!
