Heartwarming Moment:
You may recall that Ethan P won 2500+ jelly beans by guessing the number just about correctly. Today he set up a stand sharing them with all of camp. You even got to pick your favorite colors.
Smile Maker:
“My mom makes the best mocktails”, said a camper while preparing a meal at SkyDeck. “What makes it a mocktail?”, said his friend. And the answer please: “ I don’t know. I think it doesn’t have caffeine in it.”
Kid logic:
“I think I’ll stay for 3 weeks because I love camp so much that if I stay for 6 weeks, I’ll miss it even more during the winter.”
And the Oscar goes to:
The entire cast of "Tarzan”, performed on the Skylemar stage. It was amazing – the audience was blown away! Acting (including perfect British accents by Ethan K and Max A) and singing were especially great. Dance moves by the gorillas were impressive and adorable.
Solid Decision:
Suzie picking “Tarzan” as the first musical of 2024. Our guys make spectacular apes.
The Kindest, Greatest, Most Fun and Usually Patient:
Skylemar counselors. The staff of 2024 is a team of all-stars, and we can’t wait for you to meet them. Their devotion to your son is quite remarkable. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch each boy stand taller and become more confident, relaxed and comfortable over the past three weeks, thanks to them.
As you know, Skylemar is perhaps the only camp in the country with a counselor staff made up of collegiate athletes from universities in the USA, as well as Skylemar alum. Counselors are here to pass on their knowledge, and make a positive difference in the world, one kid at a time.
Like you, they care about their boys. Like you, they worry about them. Like you, every once in a while, they lose their temper. They’re by no means perfect, but then again, no “parent” is.
For those coming Saturday, you’ve got a big group to meet. For those who are unable, please know that your son will be well-taken-care-of by his Skylemar counselor.
