Today the campers enjoyed a late wake up and a brunch. It was day of free play and hanging out with friends. Everyone was excited about the big night and were trying to guess the theme of this year’s banquet. Around 5:00pm campers starting filing up the center of camp in their beautiful summer dresses and handsome colored shirts. The campers looked fantastic and everyone had their cameras out flashing away at what is to be their 2nd to last night at this very special place, we call our summer home. It’s banquet night, something that we all look forward to all summer long and it is finally here.

We all walked into our dining hall and were blown away by the huge cut outs of Elvis and Marilyn Monroe. There were records hanging from the ceiling and coke glasses filled with gumballs on our tables. It was a night from the 50’s and our waitresses wore pink poodle skirts and our waiters had on jeans and white T’s, just like the outsiders. We bopped to old school rock n’ roll during dinner and the night had just begun.
Then it was off to the Rec Hall for our Camper of the Year Awards as we honored the campers and counselors who showed us how to be the Athlete the Honor and the Camper of the Year. We honored winners within each division and then out of those winners, we chose the ulitimate camper in each category. Congratulations to the following who have proven to be outstanding campers.
