The third session of camp was so much fun. Our theme was Tekun olam, Repairing our world and Bal Tash Chit preserving and taking care of our world.
All of our art projects revolved around recycled materials.
The kids made friends out of toilet paper rolls and other recycled materials. Most cities have teacher recycling centers where they can buy everything from cardboard and yarn to fun foil papers. Check out where your local recycle center is if you have not already been to it. For you lucky people in the North East and close to Boston they have a fabulous place!
We have an organic garden where the kids planted a pumpkin patch, tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans, radishes and a variety of other vegies. The children love watering the plants and picking ripe vegetables. They then eat them for snack. Gardening is so fabulous for little kids as well as for our world!
Tikun Olam and Bal Tash Chit are fabulous themes for camp as well as school!

Hey Judy, I love these recycling centers. The one you remember, at the Boston Children's Museum, is no longer there, but there is this one through the Boston Public Schools: http://www.exclrecycles.org/ Thanks for this great idea.
