Last night’s Staff Concert was a crowd-pleaser with everything from the Visual Arts department demonstrating live painting, to piano and guitar acts, to an original one-man performance. This morning, majors happen on the usual schedule. But Session II campers are going on fun field trips with their bunks this afternoon. South is going on an adventure to ride the A.J. Meerwald Tall Ship … North is off to the Cape May County Zoo … Coop is going to “Ride the Ducks” in Philadelphia … and Hill is going to Six Flags Great Adventure.

Second Session Camp 2011

Monday, Aug. 15 - Shows Rescheduled

Camp is going great, and we are all excited for Performance Week! We did however, experience significant rains today, which unfortunately flooded our theater. Though everyone is safe, this does put a damper on Performance Week, so we will have to reschedule some of our performances until we can make sure the space is safe for our campers and audience. Our shows originally scheduled for Monday have been rescheduled for later this week, see below.

Campus was abuzz Sunday, with nearly 70 mini-session campers departing camp, families and friends of the remaining four- and eight-week campers coming onto camp, and a yellow bus bringing campers who didn’t have visitors out for an ice cream adventure. Check out the photos of the morning … and stay tuned for photos of the Carnival … a Visiting Day evening tradition!

Campers enjoyed getting a little dressed up, showing off their moves and socializing at the dance Friday evening – beneath the outdoor pavilion, decorated like the Amazon with long green streamers hanging down from the high roof and inhabited by Rainforest people and creatures. The Staff Member DJ played songs selections submitted by campers over the past week. Other activities were going on at various bunk areas for campers who wanted a more relaxed activity for the evening, and a small-venue-style concert was organized in one of the practice spaces.
