Vogelson entries & Damani's story

Hi Friends, Family, and Slipperites,

Today's weather is absolutely beautiful! The sun came out, and we were able to enjoy our first cookout underneath a cloudless sky. Everyone here has their fingers crossed in hopes that the weather continues.

It has been a busy few days, so I apologize for not updating the blog yesterday. Our priority here is to provide the campers with the best camp experience possible, so that unfortunately means that some days the blog will be pushed aside in place of other responsibilities.

Our evening activities the past two nights were Night at the Races and Leagues Tug of War. The races involved many members of our camp family, and the bunks that picked the most winners were Bunks 1 & 5, with Bunk D in a close second. Tonight, Vogelson/Strauss will play Deal or No Deal while Kadden/Friends/Council Boys/Council Girls. Tomorrow night will be Slipper Book of Records, where campers try to break previous highs and enter GSC history. An update of broken records will be shared!

I do want to share entries written by our Vogelson campers, as well as Damani's story. The story was typed first exactly as how Damani wrote it, and second with a 'translation' to help you understand his story.

Have a good day, and don't forget to vote in our Mascot contest (deadline is July 4)!
Uncle Brando

Chapter One

Once upon a time there was a man that was really dumb. He was so dumb, he was dumber than a cartoon, but one day while he was walking there was a crane that was carrying a big piece of metal for a safe in a new building in construction. Then, BANG....When the man woke up he was in the hospital. "Where am I?" said the man. "You are in the hospital" said the lady. "You were just in an operation and your body parts have been replaced with bionic body parts. Soon a scientist will pick you up and teach you." Beep Beep. "There he is now" said the lady. "Good Day Old Chap" said the scientist. "Hi" said the dumb man. So the scientist taught him all that he knew and the dumb man became a detective and traveled around the world and solved mysteries. The End
