They were Aunt Ilisa and Uncle Mike Noble from <a href="http://www.ittakes2ent.net/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">It Takes 2 Entertainment</span></a><u></u>. They are past counselors, past CIT Coordinator, past Arts and Crafts specialist, and, of course, past Evening Program Coordinator.<br /><br />Uncle Mike and Aunt Ilisa decided to bring It Takes 2 Entertainment to GSC to show us how a party should and can be. They brought a whole light and video spectacular to us! We danced while music videos played above our heads, and laughed and sang along proudly when Hava Nagila was played. Of course, the dance ended with Uncle Mike’s signature camp closure song: "Sometimes When We Touch" by Dan Hill. We were very happy to have them back home with us. Pictures from the evening are available <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/goldenslippercamp/sets/72157606538844391/">here on the GSC Photo Site</a>.<br /><br />I encourage you to check out <a href="http://www.ittakes2ent.net/">their website</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9Cg3Y9kYIs">videos</a> for any additional information. They were awesome and I hope to see them back at GSC next year.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Uncle Spoon<br /></span>Uncle Brandohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10441687775800793741noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7544120585440334816.post-57705381823687712302008-08-29T11:41:00.001-04:002008-08-29T11:43:29.550-04:00Results from 2nd Encampment Slipper Got Talent<div style="margin: 1ex;"><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div><div style="text-align: left;"> As promised, new material, recaps, videos, pictures, etc. from the summer of 2008 will be added over the next few weeks as I catch up to all of the content we produced.

The girls desribe the Breakout, explain Marching Banners, and share their thoughts on the Breakout and Olympics in general.

In keeping with a worldly view, our Olympic theme is the Passport Bowl. The campers and staff were dismissed from the evening activity at 9:30, only to be woken up at 10:30. They were woken up by their <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3269/2741639574_d07747d6fe.jpg?v=0">Village Leaders</a>, who were frantically scrambling and shouting about "missing their taxi" and "missing their flight." Then, <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3041/2741639402_ae258022d2.jpg?v=0">a taxi driven by Uncle Adam K. and Uncle Maarten</a> pulled up to pick up the Village Leader while the rest of the camp made their way to the Pavilion, which had now been transformed into an airport (<a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3063/2740800209_fa661ff140.jpg?v=0">airtraffic controllers</a>, <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3241/2741639664_47617eed76.jpg?v=0">newspaper stands</a>, <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3164/2741639712_e9564457d1.jpg?v=0">concession stands</a>, <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3226/2741639920_13345733d3.jpg?v=0">airplanes</a>, <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3099/2741639734_6c3c7ae3ce.jpg?v=0">waiting areas</a>). Playing throughout camp, of course, was Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight," the traditional signal that Olympics are breaking out!<br /><br />Once the campers and staff arrived in the airport, they were welcomed to Slipper Airlines and introduced to eight possible destinations: Paris, France; London, England; Rome, Italy; Barcelona, Spain; Jerusalem, Israel; Beijing, China; Sydney, Australia; and Tokyo, Japan. After a presentation on each city, a set of officers were announced. At the end, Aunt Steph passed the <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3158/2740803595_e3dd4f1e2b.jpg?v=0">GSC Olympic Torch</a> to <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3227/2741641982_8028e3b6bd.jpg?v=0">Uncle Tom</a>, and <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3257/2740803703_12d6ba1efd.jpg?v=0">he and Uncle Tommy O'Neill lit the symbolic Olympic Fire</a>.

For this activity, campers and counselors are selected to compete in various races. The fun part is that each bunk tries to predict the winner of the each race, and a correct guess earns you a point. Be sure to check out the <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/goldenslippercamp/sets/72157605941131257/">1st Encampment recap</a>, which describes each of the events in more detail and lists the 1st encampment winners. Here are the results from each race:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Three-Legged Race<br /></span>This is a traditional three-legged race, featuring bandanas supplied by Uncles Chad and Rome. Brittany Manzano & Davida Wilson defeated our 2-time defending champion Nikita Kovalenko and his partner, Max Miloslavsky, who fell down just short of the finish line, as well as Kayla Rojas & Lindsay Kornblau.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Leap Frog<br /></span>This is a traditional leap frog contest. The defending champs are not here this encampment, so this race was full of challengers. Trey Tolbert & Megan Cline defeated Mitchell Ayzenberg & Kylie Clancy, and Harrison Mask & Alexandra Jmeniak.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Izzy Dizzy Bat Race<br /></span>This race featured three counselor/camper pairings. The campers have to spin on a bat 5 times, then run and tag their counselors, who have to spin 10 times. Hilarity ensues. Alex Pak, the 2007 1st and 2nd encampment champ, and his new partner, Uncle Tyrone Geary, won 1st encampment's race. Then, this encampment, after we had to redo the race due to a spin-counting error, Alex and Uncle Tyrone defeated Aunt Sarah Rosenberg & Caitlin Rose and Aunt Lauren Elias & Alex Lauria. Alex Pak is now a 4-time champion, with Uncle Tyron as his partner for 2 of those victories.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Water Chug-A-Lug<br /></span>This contest featured four staff members trying to down a pitcher a water as quickly as possible. Uncle Jared The Pool Guy, the defending champion, decided to sit this one out so we had four new challengers. Uncle Bill Green was a last minute replacement and, while wearing a protective life vest, he defeated Uncle Zack Bell, Aunt Holly Warshauer, and Aunt Amie Craddock to become the 2nd Encampment Champ!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Dress Up Rematch<br /></span>This is Night at the Races most storied and fiercest competition, with several repeat contenders. For this race, our male contestants are blindfolded and race to put on clothing. The race featured Uncle Keith Craley (2005, 2006, and 2007 2nd encampment champion), Uncle Chris Hall (2006 and 2008 1st encampment champion), Uncle Leon Sullivan (2007 1st encampment champion), and newcomer Uncle Chris Kerns. This rematch was extremely important because 1st encampment's contest ended amidst controversy. It was a close battle, but Uncle Chris narrowly edged out Uncle Keith by 1.5 seconds! This was a Trifecta, so the official results were:<br /><ol><li>Uncle Chris Hall<br /></li><li>Uncle Keith</li><li>Uncle Leon</li><li>Uncle Chris Kerns<br /></li></ol><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Marshmallow Feed<br /></span>In another race with history between contestants, each team races to eat 17 marshmallows as quickly as possible. Uncle Brad & Aunt Darlene, the 2007 1st and 2nd encampment champions and 2008 1st encampment champions, defeated Uncle Donte Fisher & Aunt Stefy Marshall, Uncle Kurtis Voorhees & Aunt Abby Heller, and Uncle DJ & Aunt Staci Crescenzo. That's 4 in a row for Uncle Brad and Aunt Darlene!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Camper Free Throws<br /></span>With no defending champion in camp, we had four new contestants in this race. Steph Kates, representing Council Girls Village, defeated Yuri Fedoryshyn (Council Boys) after two overtime shoot outs, and also defeated Brandon Smith (Kadden) and Patrice Pugh (Friends).<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Staff Free Throws<br /></span>This brand new event also had no defending champion. We needed three overtime shoot outs for Uncle Joey McGinty to defeat Uncle Isaiah Richardson. Other contestants included Uncle Lee Segal, Aunt Paige Ormont, and Uncle Omar Waters.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Camper Sibling Egg Toss</span><br />Brothers and Sisters teamed up for the egg toss. Mark & Jamie Cylinder defeated 1st encampment champs Drew & Austin Baggaley, as well as Miranda & AJ Porreca and Clifford & Jerel Hart.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Staff Sibling Egg Toss<br /></span>This race was open to any staff members who had siblings, regardless of the siblings status at camp. Unfortunately, our defending champs Uncle Isaiah and Devon Richardson were unable to compete so we had 5 challengers for this contest. Aunt Lonnie Rosetsky and her brother, Max, won by defeating Uncle Corey Davis and his sister, Cierra, Aunt Kristen Green and her sister, Jess, and Aunt Jen Wade and her sister, Cindy.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Over Under</span><br />This race is a traditional Over Under relay race. For this race, Bunk 5 defeated Bunks 9, I (2008 1st encampment champions), and M.<span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /><br />Pictures of the event are available in the <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/goldenslippercamp/sets/72157606467497750/">2nd Encampment Night at the Races</a> set on flickr.Uncle Brandohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10441687775800793741noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7544120585440334816.post-12777931089200709742008-07-31T17:06:00.003-04:002008-07-31T17:19:34.106-04:00Podcasts from the Camper ElectivesEveryday, our Podcast Elective meets to plan and create podcasts.

These teams will compete in various activities throughout the summer, but the competition officially kicks off with Leagues Tug of War, an evening activity on the fifth night of camp. I was able to chat with several teams and campers, and also to record some of the sounds of Tug of War.

The fun started before dinner, when Rick met with several bunks to say hello and teach them some of his songs. You can hear the <a href="http://www.archive.org/download/UncleBrando028RickRechtPreConcertTeaching1_0/028RickRechtPreConcertTeaching1.mp3">Rick Recht PreConcert GSC jam session</a> in the first podcast below.<br /><br />Rick received a thunderous GSC welcome when he entered the Dining Hall during dinner, and enjoyed us celebrating a GSC-style birthday. He was so overwhelmed by our spirit as we danced to Listen To Your Heart that he and his band learned the song after dinner so they could cover it during dinner. After that it was time for his concert, which was awesome and featured many campers and counselors singing or playing guitar on stage during different songs. There are many pictures on the <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/goldenslippercamp/sets/">GSC Photo Site</a>, specifically in <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/goldenslippercamp/sets/72157606350610098/">Rick Recht Set 1</a> and <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/goldenslippercamp/sets/72157606354107889/">Rick Recht Set 2</a>.<br /><br />Finally, afterwards, Rick met and chatted with each GSC camper while signing autographs. Some of the podcasts below contain interviews with campers during the autograph session, while others feature songs and cheering from bunks that were waiting to meet Rick.
