That’s a wrap on Summer 2024! It feels like yesterday we were welcoming campers for our first day of the summer, and just like that we have reached the end of another amazing summer. The Tigers did not hesitate to get started on having fun during their last week, jumping right into camp’s activities with a smile and excitement! Even if campers had been here for the whole summer or one week, every Tiger showed great enthusiasm for every activity their cabin participated in. This week’s crazy science activity had the Tigers creating a container to protect their lego ducks from a high drop, and helped campers learn about how to reinforce structures to protect their objects.
The Tigers’ soccer periods this week allowed the campers to show off their skills, with each cabin setting up different kinds of drills to help campers practice their dribbling, passing, and shooting. One cabin even had a counsellors vs. campers soccer game for the last 5 minutes of their period, and the campers displayed immense sportsmanship and collaboration, passing to every member of their cabin and cheering for each other when they scored. We love to see our campers supporting and congratulating each other on their successes, what great cabin community!
For the final week of Roaring Rallies, the Tigers completed an AVDC Bingo sheet. Each box was a clue about various counsellors around camp, and cabins had to fill in the corresponding counsellor. As an added challenge, campers had to guess what specific counsellor Marvel was thinking about, and were tasked with filling up as much of the sheet as they could. Each cabin completed the full sheet, and were so respectful and kind while exploring camp looking for each counsellor. Congratulations to all the Tiger cabins on their teamwork, who worked together so well to complete their sheet!
The Tigers were very involved in Schmooze this week! Monday’s Minute to Win It challenge had a counsellor attempt to do as many pushups as they could in a minute with a camper on their back. Tuesday Trivia had campers answering questions all about AVDC. After a five-activity relay race for the Wednesday Warrior finale, we crowned our August Wednesday Warrior. Congratulations to our very own counsellor, Wheels, on his big win! Thursday Thingies showcased the performing talents of our staff in our final lip sync battle of the summer. Our Friday awards ceremony saw a Silly Banana and three Big Chair winners be recognized for their creativity and amazing qualities they possess that we strive to spread around camp. Schmooze ended off with dances to our favourite camp songs, and a final performance of the camp dance and cheer. What a fun-filled week of amazing activities!
Staff Celebration Moment
The Tigers would like to highlight Sizzle. She has had a profound impact on the campers despite her short time in our unit, and her enthusiasm for every single activity is felt by every single camper and staff at camp. Her commitment to creating a special experience for each camper is exceptional, and her love of camp can be felt by every single person that walks by her. Thank you for all of your hard work, Sizzle!
