The Zyriek Zoo: Art Camp

The summer camps have officially begun in the Zyriek house. Caroline will be at Harding all summer but have some fun added camps such as gymnastics and soccer to help entertain her. Her camps have a theme every week such as Ocean, Western or her favorite week, week #2, Disney week! For June, Anna is doing a few different things. This week was Art Camp at First Evan Church. We were invited to attend by some of Anna's school friends who had attended the previous year and really enjoyed it.

Art Camp is First Evan's version of Vacation Bible School. It lasts from 9 to 12:30 for a week. The kids make all kinds of fun art projects every day. They also learn awesome Bible stories and songs and have an all around wonderful time. Anna really enjoys art so I was so excited we found out about this camp. It is only for kids entering first through fifth grades and there is a limit on the number of kids. First Evan is located just down the street from my current client, so each day Anna came with me to work in the morning which she thought was an extra treat. They received a t-shirt to wear each day (helped to identify the ages of the kids) and a cool backpack to bring home certain art treasures each day.

On Friday of Art Camp the director has the parents attend the Art Show. Each child has several "works of art" displayed in the gym nicely with their names showing off their talents. The art show also included the parents hearing several songs and also learning a little bit more about the week. Anna was excited to show off her work and also show us that she made the end of the week slide show 4 times. Overall, kudos to First Evan for a very organized event that was much enjoyed. We will definitely be back next year.
