Welcome back.

Ready for another great day?

[ Groans ] Ouch!

[ Groans ] Okay.

Oh, that's it.

Truth is, I'm not actually feeling all that sunny right now.

I didn't sleep well last night.

Someone ate the last bowl of my favorite cereal this morning.

The bus to camp was late, which then made me late.

Oh, and I just saw this post.

My friends Michael, Jamal and Sarah went to the park without me.

I mean, no one thought to invite me?

I wonder if they're mad at me?

I'm just feeling kind of off, grumpy, a bit sad, a bit mad and definitely frustrated.

That's just how I'm feeling right now.

You know what?

That's okay.

Everyone has bad days.

Me included.

So, I'm just going to close my eyes, put my hands on my belly, and take a deep breath and be here in this moment with you.

[ Inhales deeply ] That feels a little better.

It also helps sharing my feelings and being around people I enjoy.

Thanks for listening.

Let's take care of ourselves and each other today and every day.

Welcome to Self-care Day on "Camp TV."

Enjoy your first few activities.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Write On.

It looks like we're about to play the game Dome of Compliments where Andrew and I will complement each other using flattering remarks and synonyms to the extreme!

You are so nice, that you are nice and so nice and you're nice.

And that's how you give a compliment, baby!

[ Buzzer ] Oh, Lindsey, I'm terrible at this game.

I know we're supposed to be competitors, but I kind of want to give you a second chance and also maybe a little bit of advice.

Thank you.

You are so nice.

Oh, there's that word again.

Okay.

Well, obviously, the first thing you need to do is think about the person that you're giving a compliment to and just say something that's true about them.

You can go a long way just by speaking from the heart.

Now, the next trick is that you can make your compliment sound better just by using a fancier word that means the same thing.

Now, a word that means the same thing as another word is called a synonym.

Synonym.

So that even sounds fancier.

Okay, so instead of saying it's nice, I can say, um... Oh, why don't we bring out the Synonym Wheel!

There's kind, friendly, amiable, generous, caring, and helpful.

All of these words mean the same thing as nice, but they sound way better.

Spin the wheel and you're on your way to a fancy compliment.

Spin that will!

[ Beeping ] [ Gasps ] Generous.

Yes, what a beautiful word.

You are incredibly generous to devote more time to helping me use synonyms.

Ha-hoo!

That's a compliment, baby.

Wow, Andrew.

I mean, I think I know who the winner is.

The winner is... both of us, because everyone wins with compliments.

Zach: A little birdie told me it's time to go wild.

Everything on our bodies has a function, including our opposable thumbs, our bendy elbows, even our pearly whites and our ears.

But what about our eyelashes?

What function do they serve and why do we have them?

And are we the only mammals who have luscious lashes?

No, we're definitely not the only mammals to enjoy the benefits of long eyelashes.

Mammals like elephants, camels and even giraffes have long eyelashes to help protect their eyeballs from particles like dust and sand.

Lashes also act as mini sunrises to help shield the bright light from our eyes.

So by the sounds of it, they're pretty handy little hairs to have around.

And that brings us to today's Wild Wonder.

♪♪ This one comes from Sarah from the M.D.

Anderson Children's Hospital in Houston.

And Sarah would like to know...

The short answer, Sarah, is, yes, they do.

But they are a little different to the eyelashes that you and I have.

Take a look behind me.

This is an Abyssinian ground hornbill.

Take a close look at those gorgeous eyelashes.

These aren't made of hair.

They're actually modified feathers, but they serve the same purpose as wild Abyssinian ground hornbill wander the African savannah.

They can come into contact with strong, dry winds, blowing dust and sand directly into their faces.

Their long lashes act as a layer of defense and help to protect their vision.

And it's not just hornbill.

Some other species of bird have also evolved this physical adaptation, including ostriches and secretary birds.

Well, that was certainly an eye-opening question, Sarah.

See if you can find any other animals with eyelashes.

Zach: Music, dance and more.

Step right up to Center Stage.

While you were gone, I took a little break, went for a run around the camp lake, listened to some of my favorite music, and I'm feeling much better.

Thank you.

But one other trick I have up my sleeve.

Freddy.

Freddy is a worry doll, also called troubled dolls, or muñecas quitapenas in Spanish.

Originally made in Guatemala, ancient Mayan tribes believed that if you told your worries to these tiny handmade dolls and place them under your pillow at night, the dolls would take care of all your worries by morning.

I'm not exactly sure if it's Freddy or talking with my grandmother or a combination of the two, but either way, I often feel better when I share my concerns with someone else.

So today I thought I'd show you how I made Freddy in case you want to make one, too.

You will need pipe cleaners, some colorful yarn, a marker, some glue, some scissors, and your imagination.

First, fold the pipe cleaner in half twisted around your finger to form the head.

Then you're going to twist to make the arms.

Fold one part up, twist, then pull the other side up and twist for the other arm.

Then twist the main part for the body.

And now you have the legs.

Next, time on some hair through the head.

Use as much or as little as you like.

Any color will do.

♪♪ Okay.

♪♪ Great.

Next, take a new piece of string, wrap it around the neck and face.

This is great.

This is great.

♪♪ Wrap the end piece around the body so it stays in place.

Great.

Now, it's time to choose your clothes.

Pull with one finger and wrap it with the other to make a top.

♪♪ Now wrap to make a bottom.

Okay.

And, oh.

Look at that.

Glue any loose ends to the doll.

And finally, use some markers to make the face.

Nailed it.

And there you have it.

Sweet dreams.

Jump, dance, play.

It is time to get active.

Let's Move.

Hi, everyone.

My name is Calia, and I am a teaching artist with National Dance Institute.

And I am here joined by Todd.

Hello, friends.

How you doing?

So we are going to do a dance today about the four elements.

Our first element is fire.

Let's imagine, like, a flame... [ Chord strikes ] is going off to the side.

Try up in the sky.

[ Chord strikes ] Try down to the floor.

[ Chord strikes ] And pick another level.

[ Chord strikes ] Great, let's put it together, four different flames.

Five, six, here we go.

One.

Two.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Yes.

Our next element is water.

We're going to save to one side and the other side, and sway to the first side and back.

Look I'm really bending my knees to reach from side to side.

Alright, let's put the fire plus the water together.

Five, six, here we go.

Flame one, two, three, four.

Five, six, seven.

Now sway.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Fantastic.

The air is our next element.

Pick up one leg, turn in circle, and then land with your knees bent so you don't fall over.

Try it again.

[ Chord plays Yeah.

That is our air step.

Four counts for each spin.

Let's try it.

Five, six, here we go.

Spin, one, two, and three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Fantastic.

Our last one is Earth.

Sprinkle some seeds on the ground, let's tap them down.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

I'm gonna add some arms back, right?

♪ And five, six, here we go ♪ And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Oh, I like the strings of that sound.

When people talk about a fifth element, and it's called ether or space some call it.

So we're gonna float through the sky Right turn in a circle.

Feel your arms, your legs, your whole body.

And we're going to take that 16 count and freeze at the end.

Let's try that.

Six, seven, eight.

So one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16.

Okay, It is time to put our whole dance together.

It starts with fire.

Then water, then air and earth.

We're going to do it two times in a row, and we'll end with 16 counts of ether floating and freezing at the end.

Alright, everybody take a deep breath in... [ Inhales deeply ] and a breath out.

[ Exhales deeply ] Stand tall, here we go.

Five, six.

Five, six, fire, go.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

Now water, sway, two, three, four, five.

Air, spin.

♪♪ And earth.

♪♪ The thing again, fire.

♪♪ Water.

♪♪ Air.

♪♪ And earth.

♪♪ Time to float in space.

♪♪ Five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.

Freeze.

♪♪ Beautifully done, campers.

Great job.

Thank you, Todd, for the amazing music.

Have a wonderful day, everybody.

Zach: A little birdie told me it's time to go wild.

♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ [ Birds chirping ] Arts and crafts?

Yes, please.

Let's get artsy.

As always, I'm really excited to see you.

What am I doing?

Well, I have all these drawings that may helper pencil made.

She's been drawing all of these squiggles and lines and designs on paper, and I've been trying to turn them into pictures.

I have to turn them in different directions, look at them and figure out what I can turn them into.

Well, it's a fun game to play, and I love that art can sometimes just be about playing a game.

I asked my helper pencil to draw lots of zigzags and curves and lines on paper, and I'm trying to turn them into pictures.

Like this became a surfer.

And these zigzags and lines became a castle and a king and an elephant.

Where do you start when you do this?

How do you turn lines into a design?

Sometimes it helps to look at the drawing from far away.

Hmm, maybe I should look at the drawing really closely.

Hmm?

Or what if I look at the drawing upside down?

Maybe that will help.

Oh, let me try.

Alright, this is interesting.

I think I see something.

I don't know what, but I see something.

[ Laughs ] Okay, maybe standing on my head is a little bit extreme, but I do want to look at these drawings from all different angles.

Pencil made all of these designs, and I'm going to turn them into pictures and I have to turn the paper around or look at it from different sides and angles.

And then I find a place to start because I really love to draw faces and characters and animals.

I tend to look for shapes that will help me start, you know, an eye or nose or mouth, and then I build it from there.

So, for example, in this drawing with the curves and lines that were on the paper, I begin to notice a shape that maybe looks like a nose or an open mouth, and I'm turning it into a character.

Then this other curve down here becomes a dog, and I'm not sure what's happening.

Maybe this dog is really happy to meet this person.

Maybe they're going to be new friends and they're looking at each other with a little bit of love.

So I'll add a couple of hearts here.

It's a sweet drawing that came out of this, some random curves and lines on the paper.

Sometimes art and drawing can be a lot of fun.

Let's look at some artists in the Guggenheim collection who had fun with their art.

This is an enormous sculpture of a puppy made out of plants and flowers at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain.

And I love how the shape of the puppy emerges from the plants and the flowers, yet the flowers still continue to grow.

If you recognize this object, it's an old fashioned payphone, but sculpted out of soft vinyl.

So it looks like it's almost drooping or dripping.

I love that the artist found something playful in an object that people used to walk by every single day.

My challenge for you this week is for you to do the same thing, turn some squiggles or designs into pictures.

You can play a game with a friend or family member.

You can make some designs on a paper and pass it to them, to see if they can turn it into a picture.

They can do the same thing.

In the meantime, well, I'm off to make more pictures.

I can't stop playing this game, it's so much fun.

Keep sketching, and I'll see you soon.

Bye.

Zach: Curiosity and wonder.

[ Exhales deeply ] Hi, friends.

It's Ms. B.

Today we're going to do our toe touches.

I'm so excited to move with you.

First thing first, let's turn our bodies around and send our legs out in front of us Just like this.

You got it?

Okay.

From here, Remember we like to breathe.

So we'll breathe in, send our fingertips up towards sun.

And then bring our way fingertips to our toes, to our ankle, to our shins, or maybe even our knees.

You get to choose, because remember, we're going to do what feels good in our bodies.

Okay?

So let's try that together.

We'll do three all in one.

Inhale, send those fingertips up towards the sun, and we breath all the air out, extend those fingertips.

Bring them down to our toes, our ankles, our shins or the knee.

One more time.

Inhale all your air, send those fingertips up towards the sun for the second time, and let's bring them down to our toes, our ankles, our shins or our knees.

You ready for the last one?

Inhale, fingertips all the way up towards the sun, and then bring them down one more time, to our toes, our ankles, our shins or our knee.

You get to feel good.

Well, guess what?

We're all done.

I'm going to turn around so you can see me.

I'm so excited for our next time together.

Until then, I'll see you later, friends.

Bye.

Zach: Daytime or nighttime.

It's always time for story time.

Ready for just the right book Read by just the right camper?

Without further ado, take it away.
