The Daily Dodger Week 1 June 18 - June 22 Alouette Article

Dear Parents, What an amazing first week at Tamarak. Welcome to the Dodgers! My name is Jeffrey and I’m the Dodger Unit Leader. This is my 7th year at camp as a staff member and spent many summers here as a camper. Both of my kids are also campers here this summer. This summer our clubhouse theme is Party and we have six groups of Dodger campers; , , , , Mario and Koopa Troopa. Our first day was sweltering but it did not slow down our campers. They did an amazing job learning our new procedures and routines.

We got off to an outstanding start in the pool. Every Dodger was eager to swim (it helps when it is 90+ out)! Swim staff and counselors jumped into swim lessons while head pool staff placed new campers in groups starting with our first swim. I have never seen a group fall into swim groups and lessons so seamlessly. The campers enjoyed magic for the first time this week. In basketball, they are practicing dribbling skills.

Please remember to apply sunscreen and bug spray each morning before your campers arrive at camp. We will reapply sunscreen and bug spray after each swim. We look forward to an amazing summer here at Tamarak. Swim reports will come home next Friday. PLEASE NOTE, PICTURE DAY IS TUESDAY, JUNE 26TH PLEASE WEAR YOUR WHITE TAMARAK SHIRT.
