It’s looking like a rainy day today on July 18, 2007 but camp is still on!
We will not let something as small as a few drops of rain get in the way of our fun.
Parents: Please be sure that your emergency contact information is correct. If there is a change please include a note with your child. If the rain gets real bad and we need to call off camp we will be contacting you via your emergency contact information.

Officers Woods, Berogche, and Glasser visited Clatter Valley today, treating the campers to the amazing abilities of Canine Officer Onyx, an eight-year old German Shepherd. Using German commands, Officer Glasser showed us how Onyx can sniff out things like drugs and other substances.
Camper Maggie threw the officer’s keys out into the field behind the pavilion for Onyx to find. No one was surprised that he did, but everyone was amazed by how fast he did it! We all got to see just how powerful and effective an officer Onyx is when he ran down Officer Berogche, posing as a bad guy, by leaping at him and biting onto his specially padded arm. It’s good to know we have Onyx and the Canine Unit in our town.
Arrows were flying out in Archery! Pocohontas, Jo, Grizzly, Oreo and S’more are teaching our campers bow safety and how to shoot. Everyone is learning that archery is a lot harder than it looks. Hitting the target takes practice and patience; but by the end of the week, everyone will have lots of beads on their archery necklaces.
Peter Pan, Willow Brook and Shady Hollow all took brook walks today. It is always fun to see all the different kinds of wildlife living there in and around the water. Brookside Flats and Bunny Burrow had the most fun at Archery, while Cricket Ridge liked games best. Shady Hollow, our oldest campers, learned jack knife safety. With so much to do, everyone will have a new favorite tomorrow!

The first day at camp is always too fast. Making new friends, catching up with old ones; before everyone knows it, it’s flag time and the first day is over. But we had a great time, the clouds gave way to a gorgeous day and we all can’t wait for Tuesday–red day!
CVDC’s new games unit was a huge hit with all the campers. Goose and Pixie have more great stuff planned for the week. If you did not get out to the singing tree yet, Red will be waiting to sing with you soon! So many crafts to do, so many games to play and songs to learn; will we have time for it all? Another mystery for mystery week!

This years “I Spy” themed Clatter Valley Day Camp needed a spy themed name tag. With the help of the Fraim brothers from Fraimworks we now have an exciting name tag that fits the overall theme of the camp.
The Brothers Fraim (Brendon and Brian) are twin illustrators who have worked on comic books, games and magazines. They both attended Tyler School of Art, which is Temple University’s art school. Each of them have BFA’s in Graphic Design/Illustration.

Are you wondering what you missed last year?
Here is a small collection of photographs that were taken during the 2006 “Survivor” week.
Every day always begins with the flag raising ceremony.
This is the pavilion where the craft activities take place. Many special events also take place under the pavilion including last years…
Luau!!!
There is a sign post up ahead and all destinations lead to fun!
