4 . New children’s books on sale
Imagine That Imagine That is written for younger kids aged 3-6. One great thing about this book is that it uses real-life examples that younger children can understand easily. These examples show the magic, mystery and power within nature and within every one of us. |
The Wave The Wave is a children’s story and it’s also a clear message to teens and adults that there is usually more to life than we see with our eyes. It also helps plant an early seed in children’s minds that spirituality (灵性) isn’t just something we seek or find, but it’s a part of us all the time and every place—all we need to do is become aware. This book is probably better suited for older children, perhaps aged 5-10, as it talks about spiritual things. |
Kiss of a Dolphin Kiss of a Dolphin is a very touching story. This story is actually a series of stories about the “Dreams for Kids” organization. At first, the organization helps children in Chicago, but then it becomes an organization helping all poor kids. Just as importantly, this book is about all of the volunteers and the gifts that they receive as they help these kids realize their dreams. Also, its beautiful language can be enjoyed by children over 12 years old. |

5 . Summer is that time of this year when everyone looks to escape from the boring activities of life. So bring your kids to join us to have fun in the summer camp.
Outdoor Word Game

Spray Painting
To bring out the creativity in a person, an activity centered on spray painting is the perfect way to get those creative juices flowing. All you need to do is providing plain white T-shirts and some cans of colored spray paint. It will be quite surprising to see some of the original ideas that will flow from individuals.
Outdoor Twister
A person will be in charge of monitoring the game and will call out colors which can be placed outdoors. Participants have the task of placing either their hands or legs on the same color. A fun and exciting game focuses on hand-eye coordination (协调).
The Maze (迷宫)
One of the most fun games is the hallway maze game where a maze is constructed from either toilet paper or strings of paper. The chosen participant is then asked to make his way through the maze within a limited time without touching paper.
