Happy Monday everyone! Guess what? Yup, that’s right you guessed it correctly. We had yet another beautiful day here in Starrucca, PA. The morning was actually pretty crisp and cool but it warmed up nicely to the mid-70’s by the afternoon. The skies were bright blue without a cloud to be seen this morning and very few to be seen all afternoon.
Last night’s ILC’s Got Talent was a huge success! Our campers performed their hearts out on stage as our audience of campers cheered them on. 3rdplace went to Aidan S. for his comedy routine consisting of fishing jokes. 2ndplace went to Avi L. who performed a bo staff routine to the song, “Footloose”. Avi is extremely talented with the bo staff, as he is a competitive martial artist at home. He’s ranked top 10 in the country so you can imagine how amazing his act was. He had the crowd on their feet cheering him on in astonishment. 1stplace went to Sydney F. who played the piano and sang the song, “Always Remember Us This Way” by Lady Gaga. Her voice was soulful and beautiful and she received a standing ovation from the crowd. She can give Lady Gaga a run for her money!
I’ve been hearing whispers around camp regarding when we’re going to surprise our kids with Counselor Switch Day, Revival Night, and Color War. We have lots of surprises in store for them and they’re getting pretty pumped for all of it. But first, tomorrow is Halloween here at ILC. Is it October 31st? Nah, it’s just August 6thbut hey, who cares? Every day and any day can be Halloween here in the 18462. I’ll have more deets to share with you tomorrow regarding the festivities we have in store for our campers.
And now it’s riddle time! Here’s a reminder of yesterday’s riddle: What spends most of its time on the floor but never gets dirty? Answer: your shadow. Here’s today’s brain teaser: Two children were born to the same mother on the same day in the same month and year but are not twins. How can this be?
Tonight’s evening activity is a fan favorite here at Island Lake. It’s our 2ndsession Social! It’s time for our boys to shower, clean up, and dress to impress. Who am I kidding? We’re lucky if they put on a clean shirt! The girls love dressing up for the social, whether they do their hair and put on a pretty outfit/dress or they go in the opposite direction and wear a onesy with all of their friends. Hey, it’s all in the name of fun and that’s what we’re about here at ILC. We will have an outside DJ come to camp to spin tunes in our gym for our campers to party it up like it’s 1999. Or ok,…maybe just 2019.
Today’s special feature is GYMNASTICS! I snapped some pics of our beginners to advanced level gymnasts, along with kids participating in a Yoga and Pilates class. We had a huge turnout for Parkour this afternoon, as well. Enjoy the pics below and until tomorrow, ILCUTHERE!
