Girls Sleepaway Camp in the Adirondack Mountains in Brant Lake, New York
This year’s Wacked-Up Relay was very exciting! While, after an early lead from Blue, White led the race, the Blue Team hung in there and actually kicked in some extra energy at the end. Blue was almost able to pull off a win if there was any misstep at all at can stacking, but, luckily for them, White stacked flawlessly. White won by only a very few seconds. So exctiting! We are proud of both teams and a great showing today.
Some of our recent alumnae visited us yesterday for a special day including the Schultzes’ Island swim, dinner on the beach and an evening activity called “Alumnae Mash-Up.” At Alumnae Mash-Up the alumnae bested the campers at the very last moment in a competition which included word scrambles, “Minute to Win It“-style challenges and name that Team Sing song. Thanks to everyone who came to visit. We enjoyed seeing you so much!
The Subs have returned from their trip up to Lake Placid. The trip was a lot of fun. Many liked the Gondola ride up Whiteface Mountain most of all. What great weather for a spectacular view of the Adirondack high peaks!
Yesterday, in addition to the 5k race and our Sunday awards, we also enjoyed our Team Competition Aquatics Meet. The girls showed off their waterski, boating, sailing and zany swimming skills. They has such a wonderful day. After they enjoyed the beach, our Spanish-speaking campers and staff hosted our 2011 Viva La Fiesta night. With some of the best food of the summer and some great music we enjoyed sharing some culture with our friends.
Today, we have the first day of our new schedule and start practicing for Team Sing. The Subs are headed off on their Lake Placid trip, and the rest of camp is excited for 50s night tonight. Boy, these late days of summer are action-packed!
