We’ve got a palace, we’ve got princesses, and at dinner we had a royal banquet. There was a delicious buffet of steamed rice, sesame chicken, franks in blankets, egg rolls, and vegetable lo mein – there were even carving stations set up were in Aladdin’s palace, and Italian ices served for dessert. Then princess Jasmine along with all her fellow royals hopped onto the magic carpet and flew to a magnificent night activity. The excited campers filed into the Social Hall where an emotional Thank You presentation took place. Both staff and campers cheered to individually thank each staff member that made CSS 2014 possible. We thanked lifeguards, maintenance, specialty, division heads, medical staff, head staff, and so many more…
We listened to a song written by Henny, and then we excitedly settled in for an entertaining video that covered the past two amazing weeks. We all cheered and laughed as we remembered the good times. The Queen of Hearts, a petting zoo, pirate capture the flag, and a paint fight and lots of smiles were just some of the images that flashed across the screen. After the video everyone headed to the fire-pit to roast s’mores and watch a slideshow. The happy memories illuminated the screen. Sitting around the bonfire while remembering the good times was a beautiful close to a beautiful day, and a truly amazing session. Tomorrow, CSS 2014 will come to an end, but the memories will last forever.
