LAKEVIEW NEWSSummer 2019 Issue 4 July 19

FABULOUS WEEK FOUR!We kicked off another amazing week at LakeView with water slides and more on our annual

WATER DAY, and continued showing our summer spirit with COLLEGE DAY on Tuesday. !

We rocked it out on ROCK STAR DAY on Wednesday with performances from staff and

campers, and then rolled into STAR WARS DAY on Thursday. We had fun on our new STORY

BOOK CHARACTER DAY to wrap up the first half of the summer.

Teen, 3rd and 4th Grade campers all enjoyed overnights this week, and we loved our LakeView

Playhouse performances on Friday! We said goodbye (but see you soon!) to our four week

campers today … Week 5 starts on Monday, so rest up and have a great weekend!

crafts and produced a music video (!), and enjoyed

a night swim and s’mores before settling in for the
