Following last week’s victory at the Wayne County Boys Swim Meet, Starlight came away with another amazing win at the Girls Swim Meet earlier today, finishing in second place.
The atmosphere was certainly tense, but the Starlight campers gave an astounding performance, with Julia H receiving the fastest time of the day. Upper Junior, Sarah T also had a remarkable round, winning first place in the junior division backstroke. Senior camper, Francesca G performed amazingly well with a very strong and notable performance.
Appropriately, the sun was shining as each camper cheered on their team mates in what was another incredible performance by Team Starlight.

Visiting Day is always a special day at Camp Starlight, but it also signifies that we’re almost half way through the summer – it seems it was just yesterday that we were welcoming bus loads of campers old and new to Starlight. Yesterday at 10:00 am the camp road was lined with smiling parents excited to see their children and at 11:00 am the floodgates opened as parents swarmed the paths towards the bunks.
Over the past few weeks, our campers haven’t only been busy writing up their Visiting Day wish lists, but they have also been hard at work on various different projects around camp. Aside from the masses of hugs and sweets, one of the things that makes visiting day extraordinary each year is that our campers are extremely proud to show off what they have been working on. Campers couldn’t wait to show their loved ones our cool new music studio, and to show them what they have been hard at work on in Arts and Crafts and Woodworking.
As the sun always shines at Camp Starlight, it was appropriate that the sun came out in force yesterday and we had the perfect weather for Visiting Day. Following boating trips on the lake, enjoying a delicious cookout for lunch, and playing games of Volleyball and Basketball, sadly Visiting Day had to come to a close. However, it was another incredible and overwhelming Visiting Day at Camp Starlight and we can’t wait to see what the next four weeks bring!

Beginning Junior summer, campers dream of the day when they will finally be Upper Seniors. As young campers, the Uppers seem to have it all. Now those little girls ARE the Upper Seniors, and even some of them can’t believe it. “I thought I’d feel older,” said Upper Senior Alexa W. “It’s strange and amazing to think that I’m now the role model I always looked up to in lower camp.” And that pressure does not escape them. As Upper Seniors, these girls have several new responsibilities. Upper Senior Ava S. reflected on her experience as an Upper during Spirit of Starlight. “It’s very different; We’re in charge. It’s something we did really independently, so the pressure was on.” This responsibility was certainly not a bad thing, however, seeing as the “Aca Seniors” did an unbelievable job at Spirit of Starlight. Their division leader, Nora, is extraordinarily proud of them. “This is a VERY creative bunch. They’re super spirited and up for anything!” These qualities are what make this group of Uppers really stand out. Counselor Gabby, who also got to see these girls as lower seniors last summer, is amazed by this entire division. “It makes me so proud to see how much each of these girls really care for this camp.”

Spirit of Starlight is one of the best nights of the summer for sure! Girls’ Camp gathered in the Rec Hall for Camp Starlight’s annual Dance and Cheer Competition. Voices could be heard all the way out at the second lake as each division competed in an epic battle of spirit. Leading off the night were the Upper Inter Arabian Nights with Division Leader Janelle arriving on a magic carpet and Emma as Abu. From another planet, the Upper Deb’s Space Odyssey aliens gave an extraordinary performance. The Junior Girls followed the yellow brick road all the way to our hearts with huge smiles as they sang and danced to the Wizard of Oz. Straight from prehistoric times came the Jurassic Lower Debs with an enthusiastic performance with their mascot triceratops. The Lower Inter’s were next with a good ole’ fashion hoe down in “western” rain boots. Closing the night, the “Aca-Seniors” were certainly pitch perfect as they performed their own version of the cup song. Each division presented their incredible banners and themed cakes which everyone enjoyed. While the judges deliberated the CA’s performed an incredible dance and showed off their own spirit. Allison Miller announced this year’s winner THE JURASSIC LOWER DEBS and they proudly accepted the Spirit of Starlight Star!

5-0 Camp Starlight Victory
The match started well with Josh M winning his first singles game 8-3. Cooper G also followed that up with an 8-4 win after a close start to the match. Ethan repeated the run by winning his ever proper singles game at 8-0. As we entered doubles Lance L and Noah M just kept up the winning streak by winning their own match 8-1. Jacob M and Justin M finished the match in style by winning 8-0. All of the boys represented Starlight in the right way and I look forward to more matches with this great team.

4th Grade Girls Basketball 07/09/15
Today we started off strong throughout the first quarter, although the rest of the game was a different story. Our 4th grade girls battled hard but fell short to Camp Levi. Even though we lost, there was a few girls who shined bright. Brooke G and Sydney R lead us off with two baskets and free throws. Throughout the game, Lilly T kept her ground while rebounding gave her a chance to lay it back for two points. Joie E took us coast to coast gaining another two points for Starlight. All of the girls played very well and I’m very proud of each girl on my team for staying fair and true to the sportsmanship and spirit of Starlight.
-Coach Stine
