The Fire Department is very important to all emergencies, especially fires. My favorite thing was when they showed us their gear.

Bounce House Rotation



Bounce houses are a big time blast. Most kids in Sun Country loves jumping up and down with there friends five at a time. Playing games, jumping on the tumble track, and going in the bounce houses. We also can play freeze dance or just play music. But our staff is always watching them and listen to what they say if they are in need of help. They also hang back and see what needs to be done so they are in a safe and fun place.

Art Rotation


In art we set up many different types of art, even abstract. We always give the kids a choice when they decorate anything. My favorite part of art is seeing how great their creativity is and seeing them put their own touch of their personality in their piece of magic.

Pool Rotations


The pool is AWESOME! Every morning, at least one camper asks me, "Are we swimming?" and on Monday and Tuesday when I say no, they go "AWWW". They are super happy on the days that we are. I really enjoy cooling off in the pool, and the lifeguards are really nice to everyone. When we are getting out everyone is always really sad, because they don't want to get out. I love going to the pool!
