Happy Halloween! 🎃

At this week’s camp, we had a Halloween party and barbecue. Campers played a game where they all added their own drawings to the same papers, creating a funny story for everyone to enjoy. They also dressed in costumes and participated in Halloween trivia.

Ray, a local community member and chef, stopped by to carve a pumpkin and share recipes for pumpkins and pumpkin seeds.

It was a spooky fun time for all! 👻

At a recent camp, we were thrilled to celebrate Carol Stillwell’s 80th birthday! Carol is a beloved philanthropist who generously supports so many local nonprofits, including the NJBCA. ❤️

Campers were so excited to give Carol some treats and decorations and show her just how much we appreciate her! They also gave her a sneak peek at the art they’ve been making, which will be showcased at our upcoming Art from the Heart exhibit. 🥳

After Carol left, campers finished their exotic bird projects and enjoyed a Movement, Balance & Rhythm class with Jill Stryker from Bayshore Family Pharmacy. 🥰

Thank you to Lunch Break for also donating some delicious fruits and vegetables for our campers to enjoy! 🍎🥒

Our campers are getting ready for our upcoming Art from the Heart Exhibit! 🤩

At one of our recent camps, they used a variety of materials to create exotic birds. Thank you to Suzanne Anderson for facilitating this fun art project! 🦜

At that same camp, Kate Hall performed a sound bath music program, which created a relaxing environment for all. ✨

We also enjoyed some delicious cake to celebrate the first anniversary of Camp Happiness reopening after a brief hiatus. 🎂
