The weekend is behind us, and it was full of fun times! Saturday's Welcome Back Dance lived up to its hype, with lots of good music and dancing. Some highlights include Uncle Tyrone and the Bleacher Choir singing "All My Life" by K-Ci & Jo Jo, Uncle Corey Davis beating a waiter in a dance-off, and Uncle Greg leading the whole camp in the "Listen To Your Heart" dance, a relatively new Golden Slipper tradition! All in all, it was a great start to a summer of dances!
Uncle Bill Kovnat, a former counselor and spirit award winner and our current photographer, came on Sunday to take bunk photos. I had the opportunity to sit down with Bunks 8 and 9 and talk to them about The Welcome Back Dance and camp in general. The podcast of that conversation is available by clicking on GSC Podcast 04.
Last night was the Counselor Hunt. For this activity, many counselors hide throughout camp and the rest of the camp tries to find them. Each counselor is worth a different amount of points (Uncle Spoon will announce the point tallies today at lunch). Uncle Jack Ross, who declared himself the greatest hider in Golden Slipper Camp, offered a prize to any bunk that could find him. Bunks I & J found him and will be receiving a prize; Uncle Spoon also shared last night that Uncle Jack was the only counselor worth negative points! The general feedback from campers and staff is that the Counselor Hunt was a lot of fun. As Nate in Bunk 2 said: "That was so much crazy fun...and we didn't even find anyone!!!"
The hunted counselors
It was a perfect weekend...almost. We were able to hold off the rain all weekend until about 11pm last night, but that ended Bunks 5 & 6's campout a little early =( Today is beautiful so far, with a clear blue sky and temperatures in the mid-70s.
Finally, we have created an email address for you to send ideas regarding the podcast, blog, or camp program. For all other inquiries -- like if you have questions about a specific camper or staff member, or camp business -- please call the camp office at 610-660-0520 (Bala Cynwyd office) or 570-629-1654 (Stroudsburg office).
