Whats better than Carnival Week and fried dough....




This week is the last week of the 2010 Summer Camp program, and what a better way to end the camp season with Carnival Week. Tuesday and Wednesday, we were able to enjoy the great weather with some friendly competitive games, stylize our own carnival masks, and stir up some of the most impressive fried dough Westborough has ever tasted. Tomorrow, August 20th, will sadly be the last day of camp. We invite all current and past campers of the 2010 Summer Program to join us for a Camp Review Slide Show at 12:30 in the High School auditorium, followed by a "Camp Carnival," from 1:00 till 3:30. All parents of children not attending Carnival Week must remain with children at all times.


Hope to See You There!!!!

"Ace of Cakes" becomes "Sports of Cakes"

Create Your Cake, And Eat It Too!!!!

Two of the more popular activities at the Westborough Community Education Summer Program are sports and eating; more specificly, eating cake. So what if one day we could put the two together, could it be possible, well on Thursday we found out. "Ace of Cakes" came to camp this week in the form of our own twist, with "SPORTS OF CAKES." During the day, campers were given a pre-made cake, frosting, and sculpting tool, and were told to create a sports themed cake. At the end of the day, our campers amazed the staff with their creativity and vision. Take a look:

The Campers are off to the races with the start of All Sports Week

Week Seven is here and all the campers are ready for All Sports Week. Campers will participate in a smorgasbord of sports ranging from Bad Mitten to Lacrosse. Throughout the week campers will also test their skills to see how they match up against NFL stars as they take on our own NFL Combine. On Monday the campers tried to hit it out of the park while playing Wiffle Ball and Kickball. The campers also tested their brains with some Sports Trivia. Tuesday, campers showed their artistic abilities when they made their “Sports People” which were replicas of any Famous Sports icon, using tennis ball as the head.

On Monday night the camp started a new tradition by hosting the first every Counselor Softball Game. The two teams were split right down the middle with the Veterans versus the Rookies. The game was back and forth with the intensity level being just like a Red Sox vs. Yankees game, and it came down to the last inning to the decide the victor. The Rookies took the lead in the top of the ninth going up seven to six. The Vets being down one in the bottom of the ninth had Tom O’Connor blast a game winning three run shot over the fence to give the Veterans the win, with a final score being 9 to 7. All Sports week has started off with a homerun and is only going to get better as the week progresses.
