Once a week at Camp Starlight the pace slows slightly and campers enjoy a day full of unique activities exclusively planned for their division. These days are affectionately known as “S-days.” When it comes to S-days, the letter “S” could stand for a lot of things: super, superb, stupendous, special, spirited, stimulating, and superior are just a handful of adjectives that come to most campers’ minds. No matter which adjective one chooses, one thing for sure is that S-days are full of adventures that include special games, activities, and crafts.
In a way, S-days are a lot like weekends at camp. They are the perfect opportunity
for campers to relax while they process the previous week’s activities and prepare to begin a new one. Campers also enjoy spending time with their entire division and making new friends. Since S-days put a different spin on many camp activities, campers are able to identify others with common interests about which they may not have otherwise known. Those shared interests are often jumping off points for bonding and lasting memories.
Regardless of what “S” word comes to individual campers’ minds, all campers would most like use a “G” word to sum up their S-days—GREAT!
