First Day of 4-H Day Camp

The third day of our trip was started with another amazing breakfast. Afterwards we met with Jake Kheel, director of the Punta Cana Ecological Foundation, to get a little insight into what the Foundation is all about. He shared many interesting stories and gave us a great amount of information about what the Foundation does and how they have evolved into the organization that they are today. After this meeting we proceeded upstairs to prepare for the campers arrival. It didn't take long for the campers to begin coming in, and we started off by playing some games and getting to know each other. Then we did several different activities in which the campers were able to tie-dye t-shirts, make reusable cups, and make pinwheels which they were able to take home. After a lunch, consisting of hamburgers and french fries, we boarded a bus and went to the pool. We had a wonderful time playing games and interacting with the Dominican kids. We then headed back to the Bio-diversity center where it was time for the campers to leave. The rest of the day was spent on the beach and at the pool and was ended with a delicious dinner from the employees restaurant at the resort.
