Sunday Signups! The whole camp gathers in front of the Rec Hall, while the counselors pitch “commercials” advertising what they’re offering for Clinic periods. It’s fun to watch them perform, and exciting to learn about all the choices for the third period of the day for the next week.
Each camper makes his own choice. There’s Tennis Applications, where you get to put your skills to use. Swim Dock Beach Party, Street Hockey’s Back, Beach Volleyball and Forty-yard Dash Training. There’s Sunfish Sailing, Baseball, Gainsville Upper Body Strength, 3D Archery Course and Recyclable Art...and Waterskiing & Wakesurfing, Fruit Dropping at the Ropes Course (yes, that’s dropping fruit from way up high), and the always popular SkyDeck Culinary Arts. Reclaim the 15U Lax Title is open to everyone ready to work hard. Shep’s Backlot Safari takes you all over camp to places you’ve probably never seen, like the Maintenance Department and the Farmhouse attic. Exciting stuff!
It’s hard to believe that it’s been a week since the last laundry day and GACU, but here we are again. Any staff member that works The Spa will forever be a bigger tipper at the nail salon. Not easy!
Great news for the Waterfront! The all-new Beast is back. That’s our giant slide, which had to be replaced because a seam ripped. Now we have a brand new one, along with something else to play on called a "Rockit". Stay tuned for photos once we try it out.
Boom Chicka Boom! It was Campfire night at the Ring of Champions, and that’s a favorite song that Cory leads. The skit that followed was especially funny this time. Barney was in the waiting room of a doctor’s office, and while there he caught what every other patient had. This meant he was sneezing, slapping himself and continuously singing opera. Then a pregnant lady came in, Barney realized what could happen, so he ran. It was good, wholesome boy-humor. Another fun part of the night was Will doing a dramatic reading of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. DT nailed the Burrito Song, while Sarah and Bri sang some Taylor Swift. S’mores for all, and a practical life-lesson from our friend Adventure Man.
Rain is the forecast for tomorrow. Not to worry – there’s always a plan!
