It’s Shark Week at Briarwood Day Camp!! By Richard Greenberg
These Sharks are friendly and can be seen all about camp with smiles on their faces and laughing at all of our activities. The boys love to create projects at arts and crafts and ceramics. Mason can be seen scoring many goals when we play hockey. Noah shows us his skills when we play soccer. Just like a real shark, Jacob feels right at home in the pool. Stone and Hudson climb to new heights at the ropes course as they zip down the zip line. Oliver likes to play Gaga and he has the knuckles to prove it. Watch out Happy Gilmore, Henry is working on his putting and one day may be on the pro-circuit. Liem loves playing so many games at camp, that two of his favorite places to be at are new games and game room. Mason has caught more than a fair share of fish to feed the whole bunk. The Phillies could get much needed help the second half of the season as Logan is a homerun hitter at wiffleball. We have also been working on many of our sports skills and have learned new sports thanks to the athletic staff. One of the bunks favorite activities is the “jumper” they just cannot get enough time to jump around. We are helped by our two CITs: Aiden Stepansky and Max Walinsky. Our Junior Counselor, Mike Nasevich who will be a junior at Council Rock South this fall, is a valuable asset to the bunk in only his first year at Briarwood. So, keep a lookout for these “land” Sharks around camp, but don’t be afraid and instead stop by and say hello.

Notes from the Lifeguard Chair
Our campers continue on their journey to learn how to be safe in and around the water. Most importantly, they are learning how to swim well! As the children progress through the levels and develop these skills, they become safer and better swimmers. Please remember that children develop swimming skills at different rates. Please encourage your children to enjoy swim lessons!
