Happy Birthday PACS!

The Fort Worth Parks and Community Services Department celebrated 100 years of serving the citizens of Fort Worth on July 29th. We had the campers make pinatas and cards to help with the celebration and we bought cake and ice cream for the party. We had a lot of fun celebrating the first 100 years of service to the community, and look forward to 100 more.

Archery at Greenbriar

Here is a couple pictures of the campers doing archery INDOORS!

We teach the 11 steps to archery success and practice safe range set up with the campers, through curriculum and training from NASP and TPWD. We work off the whistle command system and the campers have a lot of fun.

Kayaking at Greenbriar

Well they practiced indoors on the gym floor, then the next day they got to actually kayak. They had a lot of fun, hope you enjoy the video.

Kayaking at Greenbriar Lake

Greenbriar campers were out on the lake Friday practicing the kayaking skills they learned in the gym the day before. All groups got out and had a chance to try it, along with these photos we took video as well. We will be uploading soon.

Looks like they learned something new and thanks to practice in he gym their was no causalities. Just a lot of fun in the sun.

Kayak Practice

Greenbriar's outdoor education program has always been a core to our camp's curriculum. We have a unique way of teaching our outdoor education by starting indoors in a more controlled environment first. As you can see from the pictures below we are practicing kayaking INDOORS!. How crazy is that? If you want to learn more about our outdoor/indoor training you can read an article that Athletic Business did about us last year, Out Through the Indoors, By Nicholas Brown.







You can see the campers working on strokes, how to get in and out of the kayaks and they find out these "things are as scary as I thought" said a little camper on Wednesday.

Fashion Show

Well like we said in the previous post, the Girl Scouts of America came out and helped the little group put on a talent show. Here are some of the models and their creativity dresses. Used tissue paper, tape, glue and construction paper. Pretty impressive stuff.

Summer Day Camp FUN

It is craft time at Greenbriar. Kids teamed up with Girl Scouts of America to put on a fashion show. Very entertaining.

Here are they kids getting ready for the show

Update: Movie Night in the Park

Sorry folks that we haven't given the blog all the attention it needs. Camp is going great and keeping us very busy. The next few posts will be updates on previous programs

Our last Movie Night in the Park was great! We watched Cars and had a good turnout even though it was a record high in temperature. The HIKIDS sponsored event raised over $100 for the advisory council and was free to the public.
