Camp Blue Star

Located at the Hess School in Mays Landing NJ, summer camp utilizes this state of the art facility. The day camp uses the athletic fields, gymnasium, pool, auditorium, classrooms and computer lab of the Hess Complex insures that even in the event of inclement weather, the children’s summer camp experience will not be put on hold. Summer camp schedule will feature special weeks when campers go all out doing new and exciting things. Our theme based programs will focus on fun and interesting educational activities in the academic areas of science, computers, language arts, math and art. There will always be something new and different going on at Camp Blue Star. We will offer to all campers a wide array of activities and challenges. Camp is about having summer fun; but its also about so much more:

• learning to work together,
• make choices,
• take responsibility,
• develop creative skills,
• gain independence, and
• enhance self-esteem and self-reliance

My Favorite part of camp was meeting new people and seeing my friends. I liked hanging out with the counselors in the pool. I liked doing the projects and Mr. Jim was and still is funny and nice. I wish this camp would never end. The only bad thing was when we went in the gym and I hit my knee. Today is going to be so much fun. Devon, Julia, Liz, David and I are doing a play, I can’t wait. Well I’ve got to go bye. My favorite counselor was Mr. Jim!! K.S.
