As the sun rose up on the amazing Starlight lake this morning it marked the last Starlight S-Day of summer 2015. S-Days are what we call our “special days” when the regular program is put on hold, we get to sleep in, have a yummy breakfast and then all kinds of special things happen.
This S-Day was certainly special. It included the four pillars of what Camp Starlight stands for: fun, friendship, teamwork and creativity. The day was packed full of so many great activities. The campus was full of happy and smiling faces as everyone participated in their activities.
As always, each division had a specific theme for S day. For the Junior Girls, it was a water day. Meanwhile the Junior Boys had a survival day where they caught fish and built shelters. Our Lower Inter Girls had a very exciting day as well when they became Rock stars for the day, making music videos and writing songs in our brand new recording studio. Our Lower Inter Girls became captivating movie directors. The Lower Inter Boys competed in a World Series. Our Upper Inter Boys took part in an adventurous all day canoe trip down the Delaware River. All of our Plebe Boys got very hyped participating in the Starlight Football league. Our Starlight Seniors had a very competitive day participating in the Starlight decathlon.
The day ended with our traditional all-camp cook out and then campers enjoyed the night with their camp siblings. The girls played fun games and the boys participed in a drumming show. S Days are a sacred tradition at Camp Starlight and they are valued by not only the campers but the staff as well, and for good reason – today was a great day.

Today’s game against Camp Wayne was a sight to see, these ladies came they saw and the conquered from start to finish. From the jump Camp Starlight was the aggressor holding Camp Wayne to just two points at the half; ending the game with the final score of 68-14, leading the score for Starlight. Proving herself to be an offensive threat was Gari B finishing with a season high 19 points. Trailing not far behind finishing with also her season high of 15 is our workhorse and enforcer in the lane Morgan S who demonstrated her offensive capabilities by draining a 3 pointer late in the 4th. Samantha B and Jamie C both collected buckets finishing with 10 points apiece. On the defensive all of the ladies followed Jessica W lead and locked down every player Camp Wayne put them up against. I am very proud of these ladies, they are definitely developing into the team I know they can be.
-Coach Strickland
