Summer Music Camp

John Turner attended a week long summer music camp. He had such a wonderful experience in Kindermusik class this Spring that we thought he would enjoy a music camp this summer. He had a fabulous time!

The theme of the summer music camp was "Creatures at the Ocean". This was right up our alley! We have been reading books about the ocean at home getting ready for our beach trip this weekend. This music class made us even more excited about our beach trip. During this music camp John Turner got to be involved in so many fun activities. He got to play with beach balls, make a kite, wiggle his toes in the sand, and make parachute simulated waves. He also learned how to walk like a crab and dance like an octopus. He was exposed to many books about the ocean and its creatures.

Here is a picture of his sweet class. (Sorry its not a great picture--it was hot and steamy outside!) He made some great friends! Many of them will probably be in his Kindermusik class this fall.

One of the books Mrs. Julie shared with us was The Rainbow Fish. Here is John Turner with his rainbow fish.



We also read a story about kites. Here John Turner is with his very own kite!


Here John Turner is enjoying his popsicle that Mrs. Julie gave them for the last day of class. Man it was hot outside this week!

We both had so much fun this week and look foward to starting back with Kindermusik classes this fall. Now we are taking all of the information we have learned about the ocean and its creatures and we are headed to the beach to see it all in person!

Love, love, love the idea of music camp for this age group! Looks like John Turner had a blast. Sometime when I'm in Meridian, we need to do our own art/music day. That would be too fun!

Great post! We had a blast having ya'll in Kindermusik, again. You and John Turner are so sweet. I love being able to watch him grow and learn and have special moments with his mommy and his friends. I can't wait to see the beach trip pictures!
