Superhero Training Camp


Our  local library hosted a "Superhero Training Camp" for kids at the end of April. My boys were so excited to attend: Matthew dressed as Batman and Nolan dressed as Spiderman.


We love taking advantage of our local library's programs, because they are always enriching. As an added bonus, they're also free! The kids had to participate in several training activities to earn their superhero certificates. Nolan lifted a giant rock.


Matt lifted huge weights that weighed 200 pounds! At least, that's what the weights were labeled with - he was certainly proud of being so strong!


Nolan crossed "hot lava" to rescue a baby on the end of a beam.


The kids had a fabulous time with this activity. I also saw several activities that were great for Nolan's birthday party this summer. He's turning five and wants a superhero party, so the "training camp" is an excellent idea. I think I will set up various stations with activities for the kids to complete, then give them their official training certificates at the end of the party.

Of course, these two are all ready bona fide superheroes - perhaps they can show the other kids how it's done!
