06 Jul Fourth of July Field Days

Both Camps gathered up the hill on a gorgeous Monday to celebrate American Independence Day in true Camp style.  After being welcomed by Director Win Shafer, Head of S4G Trish Pearson offered an address that incorporated a reflection on how music relates to the spirit of the United States.

The co-ed teams were then announced with a new wrinkle for this year’s events: each team was given a state to represent, which led to a lot of creative cheers and spirited celebrations.  The teams participated in some new events, as well:  the Sponge-to-Bucket Relay, Scavenger Hunt and the Balloon Shave.  These new additions joined the returning popular favorites:  Tug-O-War and Sack Race.

After completing all the events, campers went down the Lake for a refreshing dip and then enjoyed a cook-out at fireside.  Team California, consisting of campers from Seldom Inn (S4B) and one-half of Razz Inn (S4G) emerged victorious when all the tabulations had been completed.  Congratulations, everyone!
