Our Campers Built, Played, and Splashed Through Foam

Two of our campers' favorite kinds of play come together this week with Blue Blocks and Foam. First, our campers build with giant foam blocks right on our yard, stacking and creating structures as big as their imaginations allow.

Building with blocks this size takes teamwork. Our campers work together to lift, balance, and stack each piece, and a structure rarely looks the same twice. Some campers build towers, others build forts, and some just like to see how high a tower can go before it tips over. Along the way, they practice patience, problem solving, and plain old creativity, all while having fun with friends.

Then comes the foam party, when a big canister fills the yard with foam and our campers run, jump, and play through it together. The yard transforms into a soft, bubbly playground, and our campers spend the afternoon chasing each other through the foam, making foam piles, and laughing the whole time.

Days like this one are part of what makes summer camp at Discovery School so memorable. It is unstructured, playful, and a little bit messy, exactly the kind of afternoon that gives our campers a fun new way to play outdoors and build lasting memories with their camp friends.
