In the evening, Counselor Captains met to create 80s theme based team chants and cheers. While the fire teams had only a box of matches and the wood provided to them, the ropes were no match as Rubiks Cubes took an early victory. The teams completed in an over-under race to Shmerler building where they then had to build a fire for a good old fashioned rope burn.
After the cheers finally fell to a hush in the Eddie Cantor Theater, teen side campers were invited to their first team event.
The teen side show took us to the land of Greek Mythology with a stellar rendition of Disney’s Hercules, with an intermission to remember that filled our bellies with Chipwich Ice Cream Sandwiches for all, provided by the Alumni Association.Īs if this were not an exciting enough evening, we were surprised when our camp color war, the SLC Olympics, was announced right after the show! The theme was the 1980s and the teams were the Blue Smurfs, White Nintendos, Red Cabbage Patch Kids and Black Rubik’s Cubes.
Narrated and performed by the campers, they were a delightful opening. For those not familiar, the drama speciality works tirelessly over a 2-3 week time frame to put together a performance where the campers created sets, designed costumes, learned lines and choreography, and tested lighting and sound to ensure the “show must go on.” The main side show was a rendition of the tale Stone Soup. On Tuesday evening was the All Camp Show. Besides all our regularly scheduled group and specialist activities, we were lucky enough to have great weather for two of this session’s most memorable days. It’s hard to believe this is our last week of the first session here at SLC! Time really flies by when you are having fun.
