Camp MuJiGae is over for this year for us. Mommy was the coordinator for the youngest campers (5 years old and younger) this year. She had learned 2 new Korean songs to teach this year and didn't get to do them since the SIWA women had their own program this year which was absolutely wonderful. The group had a play about a Goblin and most of the 24 campers sat their and listened with their parents to the play. They handed out masks for the kids to decorate. If the campers showed their masks to the SIWA students, they got a prize of school supplies which included a ruler, a pencil case, a pencil, an eraser, and more.
After the SIWA students' program, the older campers (the 3 to 5 year olds) had a Tae Kwon Do program that a Korean adult adoptee who is a 4th degree black belt did for me. He was former camper and former counselor for camp and wanted to give back. The kids had a blast and they got to break boards at the very end of their session. He signed the boards for the kids and handed out gift certificates for one month free lessons with 2 private lessons and a uniform. That was totally unexpected and I thanked him several times. He stayed through the family day events and made sure that he said goodbye to us before he left.
Every time that I saw "The Big Kahuna" for camp yesterday and today, he mentioned to me that he got rave reviews from parents that this was the best camp for the youngest age group in several years. The last thing that was said was this: "we've filled the position of coordinator for Curiosity campers and you're doing it". Wow
I'm taking some time to relax and regroup and then start planning next year's camp for the youngest group of campers for MuJiGae.
