Musical Memories make Magical Moments

 Whew! Time really does fly when you're having a blast. We are already 5 days into camp, and with 2 more days remaining, we had to share the life changing fun that's been happening on our shores these past few days.

Monday
Campers kicked off the Monday blues with a trip to the beach where they spent the day making memories under the warm sun on the Zinkwazi shores. This pleasant day was rounded off by a perfect beach picnic with our awesome counselors. Later that evening, the juniors had a lot of slimy fun at their quiz night. Each group was asked a set of questions and the group that answered the most questions incorrectly had their counselor dunked in slime. The seniors had a musical evening as they headed down to the new sports hall for their "Riff Off" where they were split in groups of four and had the chance to share their favorite block busting musical tracks with other groups. This was indeed the best part of the night as we watched so many shy kids step out of their shells and join in the singing crowd.


Wednesday
On Wednesday, spirits were high as campers went on an excursion to the Barn Yard Theatre in Gateway for some live musical performances. After a wonderful evening of singing along to their favorite Lady Gaga tracks, these music lovers headed down to the Big M (McDonalds) for a hearty meal and then it was time to get back home. For those who did not join in on the excursion , there was an exciting evening planned for them as well. For this evening, campers made their own burgers with a variety of toppings and the sweet tooth was cured as they made their own ice-cream sundaes.With blankets and popcorn all set, campers then went into the theatre for the premier of the movie Pitch Perfect.

Thursday
After days of activities and musical madness, Thursday evening was a moment to relax as the seniors (prepared with s'mores and a variety of snacks) gathered around the bon-fire and shared different stories about their best moments at camp, while also having conversations with their awesome counselors. Counselors also had the opportunity to share how they had enjoyed watching the growth from different campers, comparing their first day of arrival to the moment around the bon-fire, it was clear that camp had not just been a fun time, but a life changing experience for many.

As the week draws to an end, not only do we look forward to more fun and games, but to the different stories and testimonials of the life changing experiences at camp.
