Night at the Races and Honor Bunk

Hi Friends, Family, and Slipperites,

We've had an exciting few days here at GSC, and the weather has been activity-friendly despite high humidity and the threat of rain.

On Saturday, GSC was home to an amazing program called Camplified as several artists visited and put on the best concert we've ever had here! To read a newspaper article from The Pocono Record about last summer's Camplified program at GSC, click here. Our guests this summer were Alexa Wilkinson, an amazing acoustic artist, Notar, and Young & Divine.

Alexa started things off in a grand fashion, sharing her coffee house rock and even calling Sabrina K.G. from Bunk G to the stage to perform a song with her (Sabrina and the Radio/DJ elective have been singing karaoke to her CD all summer). You can check out Alexa's music at her website.

Next up was Young & Divine, a rock band from Albany, who won over many fans here at GSC. They were able to keep everyone bouncing and singing along throughout their set, and even tossed some guitar picks into the crowd. You can check out their music at their website.

The final performed was Notar, a jazz/hip hop artist from New York. He sampled some popular songs, introduced some new ones, and in the end had almost everyone on the stage dancing to his beats. In the end, it all added up to the greatest Camplified we have ever had here at GSC! You can see pictures of the event, taken by Aunt Alisa and her campers from electives, on our photo site. Kudos to Alex P., Ethan M., Harry, and the rest of the Helmet Heads who debuted their new dance, the D-Mac!

In other news, we presented our Honor Bunks on Saturday morning. Honor Bunk is the weekly reward to the cleanest bunk in each village. Inspectors for each village judge the 'competition' and also present the award. Here are the winners (and inspectors):

Vogelson: Bunk 5 (Aunt Megan M.)
Kadden: Bunk 7 (Aunt Lauren E.)
Council Boys: Bunk 15 (Aunt Stefy M.)
Strauss: Bunk D (Uncle Devan S.)
Friends: Bunk L (Uncle Zack B.)
Council Girls: Bunk O (Uncle DJ)

Congratulations to all of our Honor Bunks, and hopefully all is well with our readers!
Uncle Brando
