Week Six Recap!

The last three days of day camp were full of laughs, smiles, and a whole lot of fun!

We'll start with the Talent Show on Wednesday! For this special event, each of our three groups got together and made a special talent show dance and showcased it for the rest of camp! The dances were amazing, and everybody had a moment in the spotlight. The staff even improvised a hilarious dance! The show was amazing.

On Thursday, we had Pajama Day! Campers and volunteers alike came dressed in stylish PJs, and we were all ready to have a great day. We heard a spooky story told by Ben and Clayton, played a giant version of Don't Wake Daddy, and had a Pajama Jam Dance Party! Woohoo!

On Friday, our special event was an Arrowhead classic - WET AND WILD DAY! Activities included a dunk tank, the dry and mild monster, the wet and wild monster, squirt and swim, and a waterfall! It was an awesome day of getting soaked!

But let's not forget about groups. ADL, Arts and Crafts, and Active Games all had some awesome activities the last few days - parachute games, public speaking, cake baking, marble painting, and much more! It was great to see some of the best group activities come up at the end of the summer.

Add to that list a whole lot of super swimming, and it's clear that we had an awesome end of day camp. Thanks for a great summer everybody - we'll see y'all at Family Night on Tuesday!

Discovery Day!

To celebrate our love of all things that happen on the Discovery Channel, we had our very own Discovery Day yesterday! In groups, we had a lot going on - in Arts and Crafts we made sand art, in ADL we learned traffic safety (and put it into practice!), and in Active Games, everybody had his or her own choice of what sport to play (hockey, basketball, etc...). Then we started our special event!

For Discovery Day, campers participated in groups including Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, and Deadliest Catch. After these groups, we had our own Survivorman competition! While we had some stunning contestants (a wizard, Taylor Swift, and Elton John), in the end, the Shirtless Wonder came away with the prize. We threw the others in the lake!

We also had some very special guests with us - the primary sponsors of Camp Arrowhead! We invited them to have lunch at camp to see what it is all about, and we are so grateful that they came! Arrowhead would like to thank them for making camp possible.

After all of the festivities, we went swimming! Here we go Wednesday!

Medieval Day!

Monday was Medieval Day, and it sure was a lot of fun. It was also the start of our last week of day camp - WEEK SIX!

To start off the day, we had camper introductions. We have so many new faces and they've been doing really well at camp. We then sang a few songs and went to groups! Groups were awesome all around - in Arts and Crafts we made different types of fishes to celebrate Shark Week! Then we had Medieval Day! Everybody had a lot of fun besieging he castle, saving the princess, learning medieval manners, and making a coat of arms! We ended the day with some songs at Closing Circle after a nice swim.

Halloween Day!

Friday was a super spooky day at Arrowhead - we're pretty sure the place is haunted, as it was Halloween Day! BOO! Everyone was dressed in magnificent costumes (the staff dressed up as the 12 months of the year!), and we were ready to go.

We started it off with three special event groups - a donut eating contest, scary stories, and Arrowhead's own HAUNTED HOUSE. It was ghoulishly fun. Then, everyone went trick or treating! What a way to start the day! We then had groups. In ADL, everybody learned how to set the table, but had to watch out for Madame Fufu, who constantly corrected their technique. In Active Games, we set a few more Guinness Book of Arrowhead Records! In Arts and Awesome, we had paint fights!

After the tiring but incredible morning, we got to work on food - we ate lunch, had volunteer break, and ended the day with a swim.

The last week of 6 is approaching! Don't get your tissues out just yet, though - we've got a lot of fun in store!

Duck Tours!

On Thursday, we took our annual field trip on the Boston Duck Tours! We had a lot of fun learning about Boston's history, chanting Arrowhead's own Duck Tour chant, and quacking at pedestrians as we passed by them. A number of campers even got to drive the Duck Boat! It was a lot of fun! Quack! Quack!



STAR WARS DAY!!!!

Dear Reader,

Imagine a symphonic orchestra playing the most triumphant music imaginable. Imagine lights upon lights, filling the lodge with stars. Imagine Jedi, aliens, and the force. This is it. Today was STAR WARS DAY!!!

To celebrate our love for the classic films, we did some awesome chanting at the beginning of the day and launched right into special event groups. We learned light saber dueling techniques, used the force to make Jedi mind tricks, and heard from two real world Jedi in the most awesome Arrowhead Planetarium ever!! We ended the galactic festivities with a space jam dance party in the planetarium itself! It was a blast!

After Star Wars Day was over, we launched into groups. Groups were great, and tasty, too - in ADL we made stir fry! Yum! After groups, we had lunch, volunteer break, and a fantastic swim. It's our third field trip tomorrow! Get amped!

Will Smith Day!

Are you gettin' jiggy with it? 'Cuz we were today at Camp Arrowhead! It was Will Smith Day, and it was incredible.

We started it off with groups. In ADL, we had a nature scavenger hunt! In Arts and Awesome, we shot movies! In Active Games, we played kickball! It was so much fun! Then we started Will Smith Day! The special event groups included learnin’ awesome Will Smith dance moves, Men in Black alien defense training, Pursuit of Happiness awesomeness, and learning the art of suave from Dr. Suave. Then we had lunch, volunteer break, and a super swim!

TOMORROW IS STAR WARS DAY IT WILL BE THE BEST DAY AT CAMP EVER GET EXCITED!!!
