Astro Adventure
Hello Space Robots,
Blast off! We had an exciting week exploring outer space. We learned about all of the planets, flew in a spaceship and met an intelligent life form -- our alien guide, Zuma II.
Making edible moon rocks was a fun and tasty project. We created our own space packs, sparkley saturns and drew landscape space scenes to help document our journey. All in all, it was... out of this world.
Thank you for a great summer!

Backpack Adventure
Hello, Explorers!
This week, we packed our backpacks and traveled all around the world. We visited Africa, China, Japan, Australia and the Grand Canyon with our trusty tour guide, Eco Eddie.
We made animal masks and necklaces, rain forest shakers and beautiful butterflies as we learned about different types of animals. One adventurous day, we even made some delicious s'mores. Yummo!
See you next week for our Astro Adventure!

Bubble07 Spy Adventure
Hello Gumshoes,
Shhhhh. This week we solved many top secret mysteries. Using our super sleuth spy kits, we discovered the missing dinosaur bone. The jig is up for one Mr. Bubbles Bandit! Chicago's museums are safe once more. Spy power!
We cooked pizza and solved lots of puzzles. We had a blast being international men and women of mystery. Between missions, we even had time to write some of our own mysteries. Good work, detectives.
This message will self destruct in 3... 2... 1...
Until next week,
Miss Mikala

Princess and Knight
Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
Royal Claps all around. This week, we traveled all over the royal kingdom to meet dragons, magical creatures, knights, princesses, lords and ladies. We made beautiful crowns, regal wands, magic potions and even had a royal tea party.
Dancing at the royal ball with her highness was a highlight of the week. Cookie decorating, writing our own once-upon-a-time fairy tales, singing songs and playing with our royal friends was a very fun time too!
I look forward to seeing you all next week, for our Bubble07 Spy Adventure!

Bugventure
Hello Beetle Boys and Lady Bugs,
Meep! Meep! We had a blast on our week-long Bugventure. We were bees, butterflies, worms, spiders and even cockroaches. We made beautiful grass crowns, yummy dirt pudding (with worms!), watercolor flowers with bees and creative sculptures inspired by the all the neat things in nature.
Using our imaginations to act out stories and create our own original adventures was so much fun with our buggy dress-up. We learned the importance of working together to accomplish goals and had a super fly time!
See you next week for Princess and Knight Camp,

Superheroes
Hello Superheroes,
Power Up! This week, we learned how to save the world by becoming a superhero. We created our own super powers, super identity, super costumes and super fuel. Once we got the hang of our new super identities, "Kablaam!" it was time for training. We fine-tuned our agility, balance, morphing and aim to ensure we were in tip-top superhero condition.
Each day, we recovered a message from the Super Big Bubble and his trusty dog, Francis. I can proudly report that every courageous superhero rose to the challenges placed before him or her and "Whoosh," soared to new heights of heroism.
I know we can count on you to keep protecting the world, Superheroes.
See you soon,
Miss Mikala

Professor Petri's Bubble Lab
Hello Scientists!
We had so much fun exploring the wacky world of science this week. Professor Petri guided us as we made slimy goop, sprouted lima beans and even erupted a volcano in the Bubble Lab! We found where art and science collide as we painted with ice, moved water against gravity and painted the walls. Learning about magnets and studying slides with our microscope was fun and educational. And of course, there was lots of dancing, playing and singing. We laughed "Muah-hah-hah" all week long with inventor's delight!
See you soon,
Miss Mikala

Pirate and Mermaid Adventure
Ahoy Mateys!
We've had an awesome time sailing the seven seas during our Pirate and Mermaid camp week. On Monday, we made beautiful underwater masterpieces and found cool creatures in our yoga treasure chest. We created our own sand art on Tuesday and even made a treasure map. We met Grumpy Gus, a silly old pirate who took our treasure on Wednesday. We worked together to outsmart him and get our booty back. On Thursday we made some silly fish Jello. Yummy! Finally on Friday, we took a trip around the world and met many new friends!
Thank you for a great first week, see you again soon!
