Mad Platter Camp



We have a pottery painting store in Columbia called Mad Platter and a few weeks ago Emmie went to a week long camp there. It worked out really well because they only have about four of them for her age each summer and it just happened that one of them was a week that I wasn't working on Friday. Each camp has a different theme and Emmie's week was "The Breakfast Club". They made the cutest pieces of pottery including a cereal bowl, a green egg and plate (they told the kids that when you "break" a green egg it has all different colors inside hence the different colors on the plate), 2 mugs, and a muffin plate which I think they did on some kind of spinner.
Emmie was very nervous the first day because she had never been to Mad Platter and she didn't know any of the kids in her camp but she very quickly settled in and made friends with the other kids (there were only about 6 kids in the camp which was perfect!). After the first day she couldn't wait to go back every day and she is still asking when she gets to go back!
Ellie was sad that she wasn't old enough to go (but next year she will be...yay!) so I tried to make the time Emmie was at camp special for Ellie. Camp was only 1 1/2 hours so we didn't have time to go home so some days we ran errands and we also did fun things like go to Edventure and the library.
The girls can't wait to go to camp next year and we're crossing our fingers for a "Fancy Nancy" theme (apparently last summer that was one of the themes and Emmie found out and keeps wanting to know when she can go to the "Fancy Nancy" camp)!
