If you want to be the coolest parent in the world, it’s important that you know what you’re talking about. Here’s a cheat-sheet of assorted “SkyLingo” to set you up for success:
C2C – Our motto, aka Cool2Care.
Sade’s Palace – It’s tomorrow night... lots of casino fun for those 16 and under!
Drip – hand sanitizer.... you “drip” into buildings and before you eat.
Happy Hour – the sixth period of the day when Seniors and Stars have a choice of supervised “hanging out” time, or can head to the waterfront.
Foot Patrol – Counselors assigned throughout the day to make sure that everyone is where they’re supposed to be.
STB – Steal the Bacon. It’s a game you'll hear more about soon.
GACU – A weekly health check, that stands for Great American Clean-Up.
Looney Tunes – the seven counselor teams this year... Tweety Bird, Road Runner, Taz, Bugs Bunny, Foghorn Leghorn, Yosemite Sam and Road Runner.
S&C – Strength and Conditioning with Coach Tom
PSH – Power Shower Hour (self-explanatory)
SkyDeck - our fabulous outdoor kitchen for learning the culture, cooking and sampling of some amazing international cuisine,
Chilltop -- the place for creativity... home to all kinds of arts and crafts.
Batcave – Luci and Cory’s office.
SkyPines – a fun-filled overnight stay in tents near the Sky II waterfront.
Polar Bear – pre-breakfast morning swim across the lake.
IC Day – Intercollegiate Day.... a one day event when our four college teams compete on and off the field
Color War – may not seem unique, but never make the mistake of adding an “S” and calling it “Color Wars”. That might be ok at other places, but Skylemar guys take these intensely competitive days in August very seriously. There’s no messing with this name.
DT, DRC, H, MB – Daniel Thomas, John D’Arcy, George Houghton and Mary Beth Fedirko.
Frog, Bones, Beags, Barney, etc., etc.– nicknames for those Staffers who've been here the longest.
The list goes on and on...!
