We had an amazing time on our major trip today! First stop was the Palisades Mall. We got to go shopping, do the ropes course, go bowling, and ride to carousel and ferris wheel. Some of our lucky campers visited the build-a-bear shop and got their own stuffed animals! We had a selfie challenge scavenger hunt where we had to go around finding different things and people and taking selfies with them. We had a great time! After that, we got to go on a cruise with Lipa! We got dinner on the boat and then danced away at the concert. We rode alongside Manhattan and saw the Statue of Liberty up close! Major Trip was a great day! Can’t wait for tomorrow!

Afterwards, everyone headed off to our Mexican fiesta. We painted moroccos, and and got to make purses or Mexican ponchos. Then we made some tin art, and got a chance to hit the pinata.
