Week 7 included lots of fun in the sun for campers while embracing and expressing what makes them special!

🖌️Campers emphasized their personal shine creating tie dye tote bags, a “walk in my shoes” sneaker displaying details about themselves, a fizzy baking soda painting, and an “All About Me” poster.

🎉Campers worked hard all week with their units to practice for the Friday “Girls Inc.’s Got Talent” show where all our units and campers who decided to perform on their own, showed off their talents for the whole SSB Camp to enjoy. From dancing to singing to puppet shows, campers expressed themselves and showed up Strong, Smart, and Bold!
