Summer 2011 Complete! A look back...
After 10 weeks of Camp Seewackmano programming, there are no longer screaming children on the property in Shokan, NY. While that is sad for many, we can look back at a very successful Camp season!
We saw some excellent all camp activities. We solved the mystery of Mr. Arthur Tinkler, red won another Color Cup, we played an incredibly large game of "Minute to Win It" and had a great, but indoor, Lip Sync.
One of our newest staff members took home the crown of 2011 4-Square Champion. Congratulations Jonas Finkle!
Sean and Sean (and Brianne) entertained us with some great skits, we had top notch video views and the Bingo Ball of Misfortune really stretched the creativity of some staff members.
We saw the revival of the Camp Bridge (YAY!), entered the digital age with this blog, caught some of the biggest fish I've ever seen, had many former staff come back to visit and introduced an extra two weeks of camp!
This was all done because of all of you! Thank you to everyone!
Stay tuned to this blog for updates on fall and spring programs, as well as some tidbits and thoughts from the minds of a camp director and his staff! (Kinda scary, no?)
Have a great school year! Uw Un Gowa! Seewackamano Power!!!!!!
