Yes, 4th of July is Independence Day.
Yes, 4th of July is our Nation's Birthday.
Yes, 4th of July is the Summer-time BBQ Holiday to end all Summer-time BBQ Holidays.
But this year, the 4th of July held another special significance because the 4th of July was also the very first day of Summer Camp!
 |
| We welcomed our campers as we always do... |
 |
| With some NEW Games! |
 |
| Rules were listened to attentively... |
 |
| Which never takes long. |
 |
| Cause the rules are just: |
 |
| 1) Play safe! |
 |
| 2) Play Fair! |
 |
| and 3) Play Hard! |
 |
| AKA "Have Fun!" |
 |
| So the Seaweed Squad prepares. |
 |
| As the "fishy fishys" run into our green oceans. |
 |
| Blue oceans. |
 |
| Gray oceans. |
 |
| Jeans oceans. |
 |
| Florescent oceans. |
 |
And Molly oceans.
Then, when we're done with oceans and Octopus Tag, it's on to... |
 |
| Ultimate Rock Paper Scissors. |
 |
| Fierce rivals. |
 |
| Best of friends. |
 |
Then everybody's it tag!
|
 |
| And when everybody's tagged (cause everybody was it...) |
 |
| Everybody's a rock. |
 |
| What's better than our counselors' 4th of July outfits? |
 |
| Three of our counselors' 4th of July outfits. That's what. |
 |
| But the celebration wasn't over yet! |
 |
| Time for our evening fireworks show! |
 |
| But we can't have fireworks! Not in a State Forest. And certainly not in the Rec Hall. |
 |
| Oh. |
 |
| That kind of fireworks. |
 |
| Who knew that it just takes... |
 |
| A hundred campers, |
 |
| Holding, |
 |
| Passing, |
 |
| And tossing, |
 |
| Red |
 |
| White |
 |
| And blue |
 |
| Orbs of Camp magic... |
 |
Around a darkened pavilion...
|
 |
| On a rainy Camp evening... |
 |
| To make a fireworks spectacular... |
 |
| Worth remembering. |
Happy 4th of July.
And.
Happy 1st of Camp.
