The 2008 Dinner Dance Contest - ENTER NOW!

Golden Slipper Camp prides itself on many fine evening activities, but I think we can all agree that the ultimate evening activity – the one that everyone is talking about and planning for as soon as they step onto Golden Slipper Camp – is the Dinner Dance. Whether discussing potential dates, potential outfits, or even the potential theme, barely a day passes without some mention of the Dinner Dance. And, for the second year in a row, we will be holding a contest to decide the themes of both 1st and 2nd Encampments’ Dinner Dances!

Last year’s contest was a huge success, with over 30 themes nominated and almost 80 members of the Slipper family, including campers, parents/guardians, staff, alumni, and club members participating by either nominating a theme or judging the nominees themselves, and the two winners were a camper and an alumni! The fun did not end there, as a committee of campers and staff members helped bring 2007’s winning themes, Into the Future (GSC in 2107) and Candyland, to life on the night of the dance itself (see pictures here and here.).

This year, we would like even more members of the GSC family to participate in the process. All campers, family, staff, alumni, and club members are eligible to nominate a theme. To enter, you simply need to submit a theme. Submit your ideas (please limit to 2 entries per person) by emailing them to Uncle Brando at goldenslippercamp@gmail.com or through US postal mail to the GSC offices in Bala Cynwyd (215 N Presidential Blvd, 1st Floor, Bala Cynwyd, 19004) with “Dinner Dance Theme” in the address or subject line. Be sure to include your full name and email address or phone number so we know whom to credit if your idea is selected. The contest deadline is May 15 so be sure to enter your idea for a theme on time!
