We absolutely LOVED seeing all of our families yesterday. Visiting Day was awesome! Filled with so much joy, amazing hugs, refreshing swims, and delicious treats. And my goodness, who on earth placed the order for that weather!?!?! It filled our hearts to see parents and campers together on the Oval, enjoying activities, and sharing in the most unbelievable day!
And here is the week in review…
Last Monday, the girls participated in their British Empire tradition. Great Britain, led by Layla; Australia, led by Molly; and Canada, led by Haley, had an incredible day. They participated in a swim meet, an Apache relay, a track meet, and a round robin of sports. While all of the teams played their hardest, Great Britain came out on top! While the girls had “BED” day, the bos had their Sports-a-Rama swim meet and Slip n’ Slide Kickball. That younger camp had a glow party while the older campers had a “Y2K” Party!
Tuesday night was the 2nd round of the Townsend Cup: Cabin Feud! A play on the game show “Family Feud,” the whole camp completed surveys and then were asked questions about favorite food, most spirited camper, most likely to be president, etc. The boys took the night by a landslide!! We are now 1-1 going into Thursday’s final round!
Wednesday was an all-camp favorite: Silent Disco!! We had three sets of staff DJ’s all competing for our attention on the headsets!! The hockey arena was buzzing! There was something for everyone!!
Thursday was the coed swim meet at Camp Greylock where Watitoh placed 3rd. Forty campers traveled across Center Lake by boat to compete!! Thursday night was Boys and Girls separates. The Boys had their famous REBUS scavenger hunt while the Girls had their 2nd Annual Project Runway.
Friday night was one of the most special nights of the summer, the Watitoh SING. Our counselors rewrote the words to popular songs and all week the campers have been learning, practicing, and working on staging for this highly anticipated night. We were so proud of all of our performers and overwhelmed by the commitment of our staff. We would like to especially thank our Drama Director, Hallie, and campers Charlotte and Josh for all of their help all week.
After our amazing Visiting Day, we watched movies, ate all of our candy, and went to bed with our hearts full.
Looking ahead, we have an amazing week planned. Tonight is Auction Night, tomorrow the annual Square Dance, Tuesday is Las Vegas Night, Wednesday is the final round of the Townsend Cup, Thursday is Hunt the Counselors on Girls Camp and Superstars for Boys and Friday is the Berkshire Cup and a Campfire.
Keep following the social media and check out those pictures every day!! We’re living the dream here at Camp Watitoh!!
