Camelot For Children

We “crossed the finish line” today as we wrapped up our Wide World of Sports week! To wrap up the week we found our zen with Nichole who stopped by to teach us some yoga. We enjoyed another hot dog Friday before finishing our day playing some giant games! Thank you to Nichole and our GIANT Food Stores, LLC volunteers who helped us end our week with a "total touchdown"! Next week is going to be “paw-sitively” awesome as our animal adventures await! 🧘♀️ 🌭 💙 #EnrichingLives

Today, we “served up some fun” as we learned how to play tennis with Annemarie and family! We also had fun learning to tumble with Jeanne! Later in the afternoon, the Southern Lehigh Boys Football Team stopped by to “tackle” some kickball & dodgeball with us. Thank you to Tennis for Fun Lehigh Valley and the football team for their continued support of our campers- we really appreciate it! 🎾 🏈 💙 #EnrichingLives

We “scored big” today by learning how to play soccer with Southern Lehigh Boys Soccer! Our campers had a blast mastering their soccer skills before getting a surprise visit from MeLVin! We would like to send a huge thank you to Southern Lehigh Boys Soccer & the Lehigh Valley Phantoms for their continued support in enriching the lives of our children! ⚽️ 🏒 💙 #EnrichingLives

We had a "striking" good time on our bowling trip today! Our campers had a blast knocking down pins and cheering each other on. When we returned from our trip, Chick-fil-A “bowled us over” with a delicious lunch! Thank you so much to Chick-fil-A Trexlertown and Jordan Lanes for enriching the lives of our children through their generosity! Can't wait for more fun adventures this week! 🎳🐓 💙 #EnrichingLives

We “dribbled” into Sports Week with some creative flair, decorating hats and socks! Then, we had an awesome visit from Community Bike Works who taught us all about bike safety and led us in fun nut and bolt relay races! Huge thanks to Community Bike Works for making our day so exciting and enriching the lives of children with special needs! 🚴♂️🔩 💙 #EnrichingLives

We had a “paw-sitively” amazing adventure today! We began the day by playing a life-size games before a visit from the Allentown Fire Department. Our campers were able to meet the firefighters, get a tour of the fire truck and then cool off with the hose- we appreciate these firefighters for taking the time our of their busy schedules to hang out with our campers! Later in the day we had a visit from our favorite furry friends, Canine Companions®. Thank you to Canine Companions for enriching the lives of our children by allowing them to learn about and interact with service dogs! As we enjoy our Fourth of July break, we are getting ready to “kick off” Week 4 on Monday!

Congratulations to the DeSales MBA Program on successfully reimagining their program to add value to both their students and the community. We are thankful for being a part of your inaugural service learning capstone project. Your impact on Camelot for Children continues to help us enrich the lives of local children with special needs.

Today, we had an inspiring visit from Boyle Construction who helped us “lay the foundation” for our dreams! Our campers were able to try on some safety gear as they built their own towers before getting to participate in a ribbon cutting ceremony! In the afternoon, we "built" our dreams by creating posters about what we want to be when we grow up. Thanks to Boyle Construction for enriching the lives of our children by “paving the way” for their future plans!👷🚧💙

“When I Grow Up” week is off to a great start! Today, we made passports and learned about different countries, then had an exciting visit from the police in the afternoon! Thank you to the Springfield Police Department and Chief Mike for stopping by and enriching the lives of our campers by showing us what it’s like to be a police officer! ✈️🚔💙 #EnrichingLives

We wrapped up “Campin Out” week by making our own lantern night lights, before snacking on some s’mores, and playing campfire games! Thank you to Alyssa organizing our campfire today and for all your other help this week- we really appreciate it. We can't wait to "work our way" into Week Three!🏕️🔥💙 #EnrichingLives
