Camp Starlight’s Battle Royale
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2015
Starlight came alive as the first ever Battle Royale began. The atmosphere was electric as counselors and campers went head to head in a fierce competition. As the battle commenced campers and counselors needed to compete in 11 interactive and exciting rounds. Each round was filled with exhilarating tasks from rapping and singing to dancing and rolling around in candy; it’s safe to say the Battle Royale had it all. As each round ended campers and counselors began to walk away from the stage coved in various different substances some of which included ketchup, make-up and tape. The night was a complete success with all campers and counsellors having an amazing time. When round 11 came to a dramatic end campers and counsellors waited with baited breath to discover who would win the overall Camp Starlight Battle Royale 2015. The room erupted as the campers successfully took home the winning title and gained a free pass from inspection for the following Monday. The night was loud, exciting and fun; it was definitely a dramatic end to a thrilling day.

Taking to the Hancock Golf Club course, our campers fought a close battle. Nathan W had the best performance of the day with a massive 25 points – the equivalent of a two over par gross. Dylan T also had a solid day, amassing an impressive 20 points.

Visiting Day at Camp Starlight
Sunday, July 19th, 2015
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!
