Catharyne Nell loves to go to summer camp.
"It is very fun," she said of Camp Bentonville. "We have really
good activities. They are really fun."
The 10-year-old Willowbrook Elementary School fourth grader is
already anticipating and planning for summer camps.
"Crystal Bridges came last summer and we would do art that's
from there," she said. "There was art work that was an optical
illusion and they showed us a picture of it and it was very long."
Catharyne, who likes art class in school, also found time in her
rigorous camp agenda to take advantage of other camp activities.
"There was a swimming one and a community center one and
we play volleyball," she explained. "Camp Legos was really fun. We
would make things out of Legos and they would assign us things. We
were assigned to make something themed after Minecraft."
From the art camp, I learned new skills and techniques," she
said. "I learned stuff that I can put into my art work. I saw a lot of
improvement since I started swimming at camp. The butterfly is my
favorite stroke."
Catharyne was quick to point out the benefits of camp.
"You will have a lot of fun there," she added. "You will learn a lot
of things that will help you in life as you get older."
