Final YMCA SOS Entry- Week 7

Hello Bonners! It's so hard to believe that this is my 7th and final blog post! I officially reached 280 on my 6th week, but I love the camp so much that I decided to continue going until I return to Stetson! This week was a little different than the usual schedule, because we had several guest speakers come in and talk to the kids! We had the local bus service for Pinellas county (PSTA) talk to the campers about bus safety and make them aware of the bus service provided for the county. On Tuesday, our second guest speaker was a Pinellas county dermatologist that spoke to the children about always using sunscreen when going outdoors and how to avoid skin diseases. Our third guest speaker was from the Tarpon Springs Aquarium and he brought in a large snake and even a baby crocodile! The kids really loved that one! For our Wednesday field trip, the kids got to go see a baseball team known as the Threshers play at Bright House Field in Clearwater! It was a hot one, but they had fun! Then on Friday we had a cowboy/cowgirl dress up day for the kids which they had a lot of fun with! After all of the main events, they continued with their usual schedule which consisted of swimming, crafts, and indoor/outdoor games. It makes me so sad that summer camp is coming to an end because these kids have really been a light in my life for almost 10 weeks and I can't believe how much they have looked up to me and considered me as a role model to them. Summer camp at the Y is definitely an experience I won't forget and there's no doubt that I will most likely make this my SOS for the summer of 2015!
Hope everyone else enjoyed their service sites as much as I did! See you all in a few weeks! :)
