First encampment ended amidst many hugs and goodbyes. It truly was a great encampment! Our last evening activity was, as per tradition, our Closing Ceremonies. In addition to a ceremonial closure to the encampment, we recognize several campers on this evening. We have many great campers at GSC, but on this night we honor Slipper's finest. We award two awards to a camper in each village (Sportsmanship and Citizenship Awards), as well as the Morton Shupak Waiters' Spirit Award, and several camp-wide awards: Steve Saltzman Camper Spirit Award, William Y. Saltzman Humanitarian Award, Moses DeSousa Sportsmanship Award, and the brand new Golden Slipper Camp Family Award, in memory of GSC alumni Chad Elliot Weiss.
