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.
