Our Littlest Campers’ Perspective on Aunt Emma’s Auction
We tried to explain the crazy Aunt Emma’s Auction once before, but this time we went to the experts: our very own Tiger Tis (entering 2nd Grade). We asked them for their perspective.
POP – What was your favorite part about Aunt Emma’s Auction?
DN – Getting second place because first is the worst, second is the best. But, I love to win and we played hard!
TH – Mila was our judge and we had to say something nice about her, I can’t remember what we said but we wrote it on toilet paper!
LK – I had a toilet paper hat!
LB – I went up and used a bandanna as a bra!
DN – I have a second favorite part. They said to bring up something like a chicken and we didn’t have anything like that, so I went up and did the chicken dance!
POP – What was the silliest item you had?
DN – My underwear on my head!
LK – I was wearing a backward bathing suit, and I got to go up twice for it because they forgot I was wearing it.
TH – *singing* My giant cowboy hat!
POP – What was the best thing you brought up to the judges?
DN – I took my tie dye hamper and used it as a bra and said, “Hey, I’m a pretty lady.”
TH – When they called sweets pillow and I brought up my ice cream pillow and said, “I’m the ice cream man.”
DN – No, the ice cream girl.”
TH – I said ice cream man though. I also brought up my cowboy hat and said, “Howdy, partner!”
LK – Someone used a bandanna for dog ears because we didn’t have any when they called that. We got five bonus points for creativity!
LB – I brought up the bandanna!
Campers of the Week – Friendliness 2017
Breakout: Emergency 2017!
Our Peakers had camp in a “state of emergency” for Breakout 2017.
During rest hour all of camp heard the sirens blare: Breakout had begun. Racing to the Rec Hall, campers found an empty stretcher on the stage, as an ambulance entered camp and lead the campers in parade to main lawn. The Team Captains and Lieutenants climbed out of the ambulance and were joined by the rest of the Peakers. We followed their march from the Main Lawn to the Waterfront.
The Peakers danced for us, then split campers into the Blue and White teams. Team meetings followed and introduced all team members. Campers learned team cheers which rang out throughout camp. An auspicious start to a great summer of team competition.

Starting on the Right Foot
Friends together again! Yesterday was an emotional return to one of our favorite places. We made many new friends, and were so glad to see old friends too. We enjoyed a delicious first dinner together, and then heard performances in the Rec Hall by each activity at camp. After a little snack, everyone was tucked into their bunks, and woke up rejuvenated and ready to have fun this morning. There is so much more to come. Stay tuned!
