The East Quogue School District is thrilled to share that Week Two of the WildCATs Summer Program was another fantastic week filled with enriching experiences and unforgettable moments! Our campers had the opportunity to create meaningful connections with their peers through engaging activities focused on skill-building and teamwork.

*Holtsville Ecology Site Visit:Campers and staff braved the heat to learn about the animals at the Holtsville Ecology Site. We discovered how these animals were rescued and are now being nursed back to health or protected in their environment.

*Long Island Science Center Visit:We were delighted to host the Long Island Science Center, where campers learned how to make ice cream using just a few ingredients and some hard work. It was a delicious and educational experience.

*Quogue Wildlife Refuge:Our visit to the Quogue Wildlife Refuge did not disappoint. Campers were fascinated by the variety of animals and gained insight into the wildlife that resides on Long Island.

*Fun Friday:Our week culminated in another amazing Fun Friday. Campers and staff enjoyed playing human-sized Hungry, Hungry Hippos, participating in multiple water games, and indulging in treats from Mister Softee.

The district is incredibly proud of the campers and staff for their enthusiasm and energy. The friendships and memories being made this summer are truly special.

East Quogue students had a great first week at the Wildcats Adventure Program.

The week started with project adventure-based skills and team building. Each student learned about leadership skills and cooperative team skills and were often out of their comfort zones with Mr. Dan from Empower Leadership.

The students also learned about the Southampton Animal Shelter with a visit from Kristin and an adorable puppy. Kristin explained how the animal shelter runs, what animals they rescue and the items they always need. “We worked very hard to make snuffle mats, blankets, bandanas, catnip toys and tug ropes to bring with us on our visit to the shelter on Thursday where we met more dogs, cats and kittens. The students will also have the honor of naming the next litter of kittens!

The adventure team learned about the science of emotions from the Long Island Science Center and made coping putty. On Friday, the students created thank-you cards to show their gratitude, continued their leadership skills and had lots of fun cooling off with a game of water balloon dodgeball and a treat from Mr. Softee.
