Just Days to Go To Mochuda Camp 2010
The countdown has begun: rocket launches, time capsules, sound sandwiches and snowball fights are just days away. Mochuda Camp at Lismore Heritage Centre will begin on Monday 12th July and there is still a space especially for you!
Mochuda Camp will be held Monday to Friday 12th-16th and 19th-23rd July 2010. Week two at Camp is almost full but we are looking for some more boys and girls aged 5 – 12 to come along to week one.
Each day at Mochuda Camp has its very own theme and activities to suit. On Monday it’s Ancient Worlds with mummy wrapping, riddles from the Sphinx and your chance to compete in the Silly Olympics (which we promise will be just about as silly as you can possibly imagine.) Outer Space Day is for all budding astronauts. There are spaceports to be earned but only if you can defeat the aliens and keep the meteors at bay. If you like the sound of crazier golf, mixing your own play dough, penning a pop up book and getting your teeth into our tongue twisters then Wacky Wednesday is the day for you. Can you trust your taste buds? Can you see your heartbeat? Sense and Nonsense Science is the day to find out - in between seeing in 3D and attempting the one hand challenge. Drama, Drama, Drama on Friday 16th July will bring out your inner superstar. Find out what Goldilocks, King Arthur and St. George have in common, strut your stuff to Shakespeare and don your elegant disguise.
Mochuda Camp starts at 10.30am each morning and campers head home at 2.30pm daily. Children can choose their favourite day at camp for just €15 or enjoy a full five days for €65.
The places still available are strictly limited so call Arlene or Michelle on 058-54975. We can’t wait for you to come to Camp!
