On Thursday, July 3, four of our bunks traveled to Washington, D.C. for a special trip to the Holocaust Museum. Feedback from campers and staff who attended was both powerful and moving. We asked some campers to share their thoughts and feelings about the experience. Here are links to the blog posts with their thoughts:
LaQuashia Wider, Bunk N
Jazz Teich, Bunk N
Lindsay Goldstein, Bunk N
Alicia Garvey, Bunk O
Dani Schwartz, Bunk O
Aunt Sarah Rosenberg, Bunk N
Feel free to share your feedback!

Holocaust Museum Reflection - Aunt Sarah Rosenberg
Our trip to the Holocaust Museum was an emotional and unforgettable experience that I’m glad I could share with my campers. The trip to the museum gave a clear understanding of the Holocaust’s cruelty and damage and gave the campers an inside look on what happened. I enjoyed the trip a great deal as did the rest of the group. It is an important place, not only for the Jewish culture but for every child to visit. We appreciate the board sending us to the museum. Thank you!

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!

The First Ever GSC Podcast
We are very excited to present the first ever GSC Podcast! In this episode, Uncles Brando and Spoon explain what a podcast is and discuss the future plans for The GSC Podcast. It is 6 mins 30 secs long.
Until summer arrives, The GSC Podcast will be produced regularly and feature topics designed to keep you informed of off-season developments at Golden Slipper Camp, share memories and stories, and to introduce the world of GSC to new members of our family. This means we will be introducing staff, explaining activities and lingo, and offering other advice that we think will be helpful to the Slipper family. All podcasts will be available for free right here on the blog!
Once summer arrives, podcasts will help bring the Slipper magic to campers, families, alumni, and club members who cannot be in Bartonsville with us! This means you will be able to hear Lunchtime News of the Day, relive evening and daytime activities as shared by the campers and counselor who are experiencing them, and otherwise hear what we are doing at the most wonderful place on earth! Again, all podcasts will be available for free right here on the blog.
Uncles Brando and Spoon would love to include your ideas (or even your voice) in a future podcast, so feel free to leave a comment here or contact them through the Ning sites (campers/parents or alumni/staff) if you would like to be involved! For now, click below and enjoy The GSC Podcast - Podcasting!
