Hi friends, family, and GSC members,
Our Creative Writing/GSC Media group -- Kristen M. (bunk N), Megan O. (bunk M), and Damani O. (bunk 2) -- met yesterday but their interest was primarily in creative writing. The good news is that they have already written some good stories, poetry, and songs, but the 'bad' news is that it means I will be writing today's blog entry. My goal is to have campers be involved in the blog process.
In other camp news, our first Asherman Cup challenge took place at lunch yesterday. Since GSC is one big family, the challenge was to list all of the families who are here this encampment. Aunt Julie is tabulating the results and we will be sure to post them as soon as they are ready. During lunch we also had our first bunks ever eat on our brand new Presidents Deck outside of the Dining Hall. Bunks 6 & M sat together and enjoyed the sunshine, and Uncle Spoon was our roving reporter who gatherer their perspective during Lunchtime News of the Day. Speaking of Lunchtime News of the Day, the following firsts/accomplishments were announced yesterday:
-Ashley C. in bunk D got her first bullseye on the first arrow she ever shot!
-Nunu (Damir in Bunk 1) learned how to ride a bike, and Nate Z. from Bunk 1 learned how to balance on a bike!
-Rami B. in Bunk 15 scored his first goal in hockey by shooting the puck into the goalie's pants!
-Joe, Drew, Vitaliy, and Zach in Bunk 5 all got a bullseye in archery, and Vitaliy created a chicken dance that is a huge hit with the bunk and the archery counselors!
-Rachel G. in Bunk K learned how to row a boat!
As you can see, another day at GSC means another day of amazing accomplishments and firsts for our campers and your children!
The camp was split up for last night's evening activity: Vogelson & Strauss participated in a GSC Spirit (Scavenger) Hunt, where they had a list of GSC-related items to find. The activity was a lot of fun, and Team Fib (Bunks 5 & B) came out as the winner.
Kadden, Friends, Council Boys, & Council Girls participated in Deal or No Deal, and the cases contained Asherman Cup points instead of cash. Each village had one participant: Toodles (Dominique T.B., Bunk 7) for Kadden, Emily V.B. (Bunk K) for Friends, Bob T. (Waiters) for Council Boys, and Amber H.G. (Bunk M). I'll list the point totals that each village won in a moment, but the hero of the evening was Amber, who not only sold her case for more than it was worth, but also talked the Banker into 20 minutes of social time for the four villages! Here are the point totals each village won towards the Asherman Cup:
Kadden - 350 (10 points in the case)
Friends - 200 (.01 points in the case)
Council Boys - 900 (200 points in the case)
Council Girls - 500 (25 points in the case)
That's all the news from here at GSC. Right now we are hoping that the rain holds off long enough for us to get in a full day of activities and a Tug of War tonight. Be sure to check back later for today's news, and to check out our photos. The links are at the top-right of this page!
Happy Wednesday,
Uncle Brando
