Character Camp
Character Camp is a year-end celebration that empowers students, teachers, and parents to research and create various stations that emphasize the character traits. First, the teachers come up with a theme for the camp. For example one year we did "Where in the world is Character Carl?" Then, students and teachers held class meetings to choose a destination for Character Carl to visit. The students then had to research the destination to determine how they wanted to represent it at the activity site. The students had to create the decorations as a class. These decorations were used at Character Camp. Each activity at Character Camp has a character based activity. Some activities include Chinese Chop Stick Relay (Teamwork), African Jungle Monkeys and Gorillas (Perseverance), and Asian Dragon Race (Integrity). Parents, other staff members, and community members are encouraged to come and help run each station.
