Imagine if you lived in the wild west. There would be cowboys and indians. Sheriffs and shotguns. Horses and bonfires. In CSS we had all that and more. Even the horses!
When we entered the dining room this morning, we thought we were on the set of a western. We had a saloon, a bank, a jail, and even a wanted sign. There was western music blaring, ranging from the conventional “cotton eyed joe” to the more modern “hoedown throwdown.” Campers and counselors danced away in their cowboy hats and boots.
In sweet shop, we made horses & buggies using sandwich cookies, pretzels, honey, and twizzlers. By swimming, Bethany, Alexis, and Lea passed the deep water test- congratulations! After our morning activities, some divisions went horseback riding!
After lunch, Simi sang the hoedown throwdown and Blimie taught the whole camp the “Yavo” dance. Then, campers took turns trying to throw a lasso around a stuffed horse. Sterna almost got it! Then, the camp sang happy birthday to Molly and Samara. For Molly’s birthday, her bunk had a party complete with candy, a pinata, and a showing of Free Willy. Samara’s party was held in the sweet shop where her bunk got to have all the candy that they wanted! Happy birthday from the whole CSS family!
For night activity tonight we had square dancing! Our CSS dancers as usual rocked the dance floor. After, we had a bonfire and roasted marshmallows, hotdogs, and s’mores. Aviva brought her guitar and we all sang ’round the campfire into the night…
