Excitement was in the air on Sunday, June 12th as a host of enthusiastic new campers and their parents got to sample the fun that awaits them at Camp Starlight this summer. Following some introductory games, everyone assembled at the flagpole for an official greeting from David and Allison. Before some ice breakers that had campers, parents, and staff laughing, several members of the Key Staff were also introduced. Then it was off for a small group tour, during which lifelong memories and friendships were already being formed. From the Main Field to the Carriage house and everything in between, campers got a glimpse of all the places where they will have great times as Starlighters over the next several summers. The day culminated with an option period during which campers actually got to choose and participate in the very first activity of their Starlight careers. Finally, everyone came together for an indoor cookout before reluctantly getting in their cars and going home to anxiously count down the days until they return for the official start of Summer 2011. We’re delighted to have such awesome group of campers spending their first summer with us during our 65th! We can’t wait to see everyone again in a couple of weeks!
