Hello Chippies!

I thought I would take a moment to update you on second session! Camp is going great and the girls are having a fabulous time. Tonight we ran a program called Lip Sync. The show is pretty self-explanatory, but there really is more to it than simply getting up on stage and performing Milli Vanilli style. The girls have to work together to come up with the perfect song, the perfect dance and even the perfect wardrobe! They spend hours making these decisions and you can imagine that this kind of group organizing comes with some challenge! They work through the challenges though, and in doing so strengthen their relationships, and develop great teambuilding skills. Not to mention that the show is traditionally quite a spectacle! Tonight was no exception! The two cabin winners were Boots and C-C. They got to go to Cathy’s for ice cream, and the rest of the camp got canteen. A win for everyone!

The past week has been great! Last Monday was Tan & White Sports Night (always a popular event). Tuesday brought Staff Olympics and Wednesday was murder mystery night. Thursday we introduced a new game called Sandstorm! This Tan & White event required each team to get a giant mound of sand from one side of camp to the other. It was a ton of fun and will no doubt become a Chippewa annual tradition! Friday night Boots, Circle C and Wagonridge put on a beautiful campfire with a theme centered around “being yourself.” Saturday was Big & Little Sister Night, Sunday the camp went to Minocqua for a town day. When they returned we did a “movie in the park” event. The whole camp went to the South Field and watched the ever-popular Parent Trap on a giant inflatable screen! On Monday we had a social with Kawaga and on Tuesday we had our little weather emergency *-) Last night was a practice for Songfest and tonight was Lip Sync!

So much fun to come and I will make sure to share with you via photos, blog updates and Tweets (I know… Sari is a better Tweeter… Im working on it!)

I look forward to talking soon!
All best,
Cliff
