Camper Takeover: Silly Sunday Edition

Sundays are always special at camp because of our sleep in and epic brunch buffet, but today we took it to the next level with distance lake swims and a super general where every activity got a bit silly, from “dunking” staff with water at basketball to riding horses backwards to capsizing canoes and going in their air pockets.  Here are a few kids’ highlights:

Asher, Loons

Highlight of the Day:
Sunday brunch was amazing! The food was delicious, and I got to sleep in!

Something You Learned Today:
Revenge isn’t always the answer. We drew on the Owls’ cabins for Silly Sunday, and they got us back!

Dream Camp Day:
I would make it Carnival Day! Everyone would get to eat steak and drive around in mini cars!

Favorite Memory:
Seeing all my friends and staff again.

Something You Want to Learn:
I want to play more football because I love it.

Favorite Activity:
Music! I love hanging out with Rosie and the specialists. We play the piano, and it’s really fun.

Miriam, Bears

Highlight of the Day:
Silly Sunday was awesome! I ate lots of pastries, enjoyed the beautiful weather, and had so much fun tandem surfing and sail tubing!

Something You Learned Today:
I learned that I like ropes! I went zip-lining, and it was the most fun thing ever!

Dream Camp Day:
A surf vs. sail competition! They’re my two favorite activities, so it would be awesome to see them compete.

Favorite Memory:
Fantasy night for Juniors. It only happens every five years and is so magical, with sparkles everywhere. Each inter-cabin does a skit from a Disney movie, and the juniors get taken around camp to watch the skits.

Something You’d Like to Do This Summer:
It’s my last year as a camper, so I would love to be a color war captain. I’m also aiming for my 2.5’s in windsurfing.

Favorite Activity:
Surf and sail are my two favorites. They’re both really challenging, and you have to rely on the wind. I love the spontaneity – it’s always unexpected.

Violet, Tadpoles

Highlight of the Day:
Silly Sunday was so much fun! I went on the Nautilus during swim, and we had a water balloon fight during volleyball!

Something You Learned Today:
I learned how to enjoy the little things, like appreciating the time you have because you might not get it again.

Dream Camp Day:
I would set up the Slip and Slide, give all the staff a day off, and let the campers take over.

Favorite Memory:
Reuniting with my counselor from last year.

Something You’d Like to Learn or Try This Summer:
I’d like to jump off the high tower again – it’s so satisfying and fun.

Favorite Activity:
Sailing is my favorite. I just got my 3rds; it’s really fun and relaxing. I love the vibe.

Rowan, Loon

Highlight of the Day:
Doing the mile swim was my highlight today. I did it without a life jacket, and it felt like a big accomplishment. It was also really refreshing being in the water because it was so hot today!

Something You Want to Learn or Try:
I want to try to get my 2nds in sailing because it’s my favorite activity.

Favorite Memory:
Playing greasy watermelon polo was really funny, and after we finished, we smashed it open and ate it.
