As mentioned in my previous post, I spent the middle of August in a small village in the mountains working at a day camp centered around creative arts. In the afternoons we had optional activities with the kids out of the classroom. We played games on the field behind the school and hiked in the local hills.

At the end of the week we had a exhibition for the parents and community members to show off what the kids had done all week. The visual arts group displayed their paintings and drawings, music sang songs in Romanian and English, and theater performed a short play. Diplomas were also handed out to everyone that participated in the camp.

It was a grand ending to a lovely week at camp.
