Camp Choma

My sister knows from experience that seven kids + two adults + seven days = total chaos unless we have some kind of plan underway! So this week at our house, we are having CAMP CHOMA!

We began with "Measurement Monday."

We read a couple of counting books, and the kids got to make their own mud pies using their measurements outside. They were very creative, using rocks as eggs for their masterpieces!


We then made real cookies inside and watched an episode of Special Agent Oso where they measured ingredients to make pancakes.

Then we had "Nature Tuesday." We played games outside where the kids brought us different items from nature. They had a nature picnic outside, and we even took a nature walk to get ice cream cones!

Isabel enjoyed writing in her nature journal about our cat.

We continued with "Water Wednesday." This was a busy day! We watched Finding Nemo, and then got swimsuits on and played in the water outside.






We enjoyed goldfish snacks and Finding Nemo fruit snacks (thanks to Mama Dee for treats from the States!) We then took a field trip out to Mapanza, to the land where the orphanage will be built.

We walked down to see the river, and the kids loved pumping water from our borehole.



We ended the day with the movie Nim's Island.

So far, Camp Choma is more like Choma Zoo, but the kids are having a blast!
