New Stuff!
Okay... It's been a crazy, busy month and I've got a lot of stuff to tell you about!
First up: We've picked a bunk group theme for camp this summer! It's "Around the World in 40 Days". As we looked at all the theme suggestions sent in, the most popular were all about the countries of the world. Tom and I were thinking that's probably influenced by all the great international counselors we had at camp last summer from places like Columbia, England, Wales, Australia, Scotland, Mexico, New Zealand, Germany, and Ireland! We're going to celebrate a different culture every day at announcements. PLEASE NOTE: Our counselors choose the bunk group names from the suggestions you send in. Please click here and give us your suggestions for the names of bunk groups!
Second: There is a new online photo game up on the website now! All you have to do is fill in the chat bubbles for the pictures. It's great fun. Enter as often as you like here. You can also view the past winners here to give you some ideas.Next: We're putting together the next issue of the Sundial next week. That doesn't mean it's too late to send in an article, poem, letter or piece of artwork. You can email it to us at sundial@campuskids.com or fax it to 973-845-9262. In this issue we'll be introducing the leadership team, some of the staff assistants and some of the campers!
Also: You may have heard some rumors regarding a special project Ryan and I have been working on. We're calling it WEEK 9! That's right folks! We're going on a weekend adventure-style road trip across Pennsylvania and checking out everything cool. We'll be stopping at Hershey Park, Skirmish USA, an indoor water park and much, much more! The trip will feature two nights of camping and 4 nights of staying at hotels. We're even planning a Week 9 talent show so start practicing. The trip we'll be like a week-long Weekend Adventure getaway. Campers entering 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th grade are eligible to go on Week 9. All the details for Week 9 will be added to the website in the coming week or so. There will be a write up in the Sundial as well! And before I forget, we're finalizing the details for Weekend Adventures for next summer and that information will go out some time in February.
Finally, on an unrelated note, I got a new snowboard and I can't wait to ride it! As soon as I do, I'm going to post some pics from the slopes.
Keep checking the website for new content!
Take care,
Jeremy
