When last we checked in on the Summer Camp Photo Archives... |
The Final Closing Campfire... |
For Summer 2017... |
Was winding down... |
As we... |
Sung... |
And... |
Cried... |
Our way out of it. |
But as the Closing Campfire ends... |
Our Lantern Ceremony... |
Begins! |
Because seriously. |
We love... |
Closing Ceremonies here. |
Can't get enough of them. |
It's why we've got like... |
25 closing ceremonies... |
Scheduled every week. |
But after the somber, serene, and observant... |
Candle light ceremony... |
And once we've passed the symbolic Camp Spirit... |
Reflected on our week... |
And enjoyed a few more quiet songs... |
In the beautifully lit-up night-time forest... |
It's then time for... |
A closing event that's... |
Just a little bit more celebratory, |
and just a little bit more raucous. |
Yes, it's time for: |
The Camp Schmance! |
"Schmance" you say? |
Schmance, I say! |
Schmance, we all say! |
Cause "Camp Dance"... |
Doesn't come close to summing up... |
The Friday night party... |
We throw in the Rec Hall... |
To celebrate... |
Another great week at Summer Camp. |
Yes, the Camp Schmance... |
Is the culmination... |
Of a whole evening's worth... |
Of Closing Ceremonies... |
And our way... |
Of getting the absolute most... |
Out of one more night... |
At Camp. |
Yes, the Schmance is... |
Exciting! |
Crazy! |
(Crazier if you're Senior Staff.) |
Yes, |
The Camp Schmance... |
Is an event... |
That can only occur... |
After a community... |
Has spent a whole week... |
Together... |
Growing from... |
Strangers... |
To acquaintances... |
To friends... |
To Camp Family... |
In their... |
Strange... |
One-of-kind... |
Good ol'... |
Home... |
In the woods. |
The Schmance includes... |
Some games, |
Some... |
Dancing... |
(Or more accurately... |
Some schmancing...) |
Some good quality time... |
Between good quality people... |
And some... |
Other... |
Somewhat bizarre... |
Rituals. |
What better way... |
Could there possibly be... |
To wrap up... |
An indescribable... |
Week at Summer Camp... |
Than an indescribable... |
Event... |
With a nonsensical name... |
That basically just... |
Features... |
The whole... |
Camp Family... |
All together... |
Having as good a time... |
As they possibly can... |
For one last evening... |
in Summer 2017... |
At their home away from home. |
