Today was the first day of Camp J Lo.  The campers played  dress up on the boat and then we went to visit the middle school.  When we got back, they ate, went on the computer for awhile and then went swimming.  When they got to cold, they hit the hot tub.  We made a Summer checklist.  They thought about activities that that might like to do.
