Lazy summer days, fun songs, popsicles and friends – summer camp is a place to make memories. My kids have been going to summer day camp in my town and they love it.

The camp counselors are teenagers so as you can imagine, they are full of energy and amazing spirit! The teens at my kids’ camp have cool nicknames like Koolaid and Flash. The boys have developed uch a fondness for them – and because many of them return year after year to work, the kids have really formed a special bond with them.

Swimming, running through the sprinkler, fun games and silly activities – now that beats hearing “I’m bored” every 10 minutes at home, now doesn’t it?!?

I love the songs that they learned at camp, songs that I remember when I was a kid like this one:

Swimming, swimming, in my swimming pool,

When days are hot when days are cool

In my swimming pool!

Front stroke, side stroke, fancy diving too!

Oh don’t you wish you never had anything else to do? But mmm, mmmm, in my swimming pool…
