More Fun in the Summer Sun!

Parents and Guardians:
It looks like the weather will finally cool down and dry out for us this week, and not a moment too soon! We are back into the full swing of things and really having a great time this summer. It is hard to believe that on Wednesday at 12 noon we will be half way done with the summer. This summer is just flying by and we still have a ton of fun planned for the remainder of the summer. It seems sad to say that the summer will be half over, but it is pretty hard to believe that just about half of the summer has gone by already.

This week looks like it will be pretty crazy as we will be doing our best to do all of the great things that Scuba Steve planned for us to do this week. I sure hope that we can get through this list of great games, skits and all kinds of activities that he has for us! I think that all of the counselors will be doing their best to get us through the crazy schedule of survivor type games. I can not wait to see how it all unfolds.

Last week we had our first family night of the summer and it was terrific! Everyone that attended had a great time we finished off with the classic rendition of the “Bear Hunt!” If you were unable to attend don’t worry we will have another family night during session 8 on Wednesday, August 19th! For those of you that were not there for our first family night, you missed a great time and the unveiling of our sound system. The sound system was purchased with the camp improvement fee and it has made a huge impact on the summer in the short time that we have had it! I would say that it has definitely improved our dance parties throughout the day.

This week should be a fun one; here is a list of what will be going on around camp:

Rascals:
On Monday the Rascals will enjoying an outrageous game of kickball capture the flag! I am not sure how this will even work, but I am sure that it will be great! Tuesday looks even better with a great game of Survivor Trivia Relay Races. Make sure you study your survivor trivia! Wednesday looks like it will be an all sports type day with pillo-polo baseball and knock out! Thursday will be even better..karaoke! Friday brings the end of the week, popsicles and SURVIVOR SPUD!
Don't forget that you guys will go swimming Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Friday and will most likely use the Slip & Slide on Thursday so make sure you bring your bathing suits!

Mountaineers:
Monday looks like it will be really fun with some wierd game known as LAST MAN STANDING! On Tuesday be ready for a Survivor Scavenger Hunt. Wednesday looks like it will be great and so does a fantastic game of PREDATOR/PREY! Thursday is a field trip day to the Peabody Museum. Friday is popsicles and some great relay races. Don't forget your bathing suits or lunches!

Wranglers/Pathfinders:
This session we are combining the Wranglers and Pathfinders for an excellent week of fun. You guys will be competing in the same games as the Mountaineers, but you guys will have to see how much better you can do! Good Luck!

Sports:
I don't even know where to begin. You guys are in for so much great fun that I can't even explain it! Be ready, bring a waterbottle (and lunch of course) and bring a great attitude for some of the best sports you can possibly imagine!

I hope that everyone enjoys the week!
