Skipper Scoop
Who has the MOST SPIRIT at Rolling River Day Camp? THE SKIPPERS!! We loved wearing our emojis & crazy hats, waving to the cameras during Wednesday’s TV show taping, and showing our love for all things Rolling River on Blue & White Day, too. Thank you to all the families of our Kindergarten boys who came to visit this week! We had a blast sharing our day at camp with all of you! Today, we sang, danced, and showed off our group plaques during the annual Song & Plaque Day event in the Sea Breeze Auditorium. Wow, what a week!
Don’t forget to ask us about:
- Singing and playing along to 5 Little Monkeys, The Wheels on the Bus, and instruments like shakers and tambourines in Puppetry.
- Sharpening our throwing and catching skills on Skipper Field, throwing balls in the goal from different spots to earn points.
- Kicking high at Karate.
- Singing and Dancing along to Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop The Feeling” at Ocean Motion.

So far this week we are having so much fun at Rolling River Day Camp! On Monday, we all dressed up as our favorite emojis for Emoji Day. We also competed in Intramurals, played fun sports, and did other activities around camp. On Tuesday, the Navigators went to Brownstone Park in Connecticut, where went ziplining, cliff jumping, and swam in the lake. On Wednesday, we went ice skating and cooled off by eating ice cream at Pip’s. On Thursday, we went to see the Long Island Lizards lacrosse game – GO LIZARDS! Today, we had Song & Plaque Day. The groups sang a song they made up about camp. This song goes with a dance. Then we revealed our group plaques that our counselors designed. It’s cool to see everyone’s creative ideas.
