It’s Raining Meatballs!

July 1, 2014Leave a Comment

The weather forecast is in – be warned of the falling meatballs today! We’ve entered a portal into another one of our favorite childhood books/movie: Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. The Dining Hall is stocked with the most delicious (rather enlarged) food – on the stage, hanging from the ceiling, and there is food roaming around campus as well. Campers and staff are dressed like food, and division heads are dressed as clouds. (While we did get hungry from all this food, you needn’t worry, this morning we had an especially delicious breakfast of french toast and scrambled eggs.)

We are also celebrating Canada Day in camp. Our native Canadians, many decked out in red and white,  sang the national anthem at breakfast. Appropriately, we had maple syrup available for french toast during breakfast.

For second activity, the entire camp gathered on the deck of the Dining Hall for a Meatball and Spaghetti Hunt. At the count of 3, all were released onto campus to gather the scattered spaghetti (string) and meatballs (pom-poms). With all the string and pom-poms gathered, the divisions each sat together in the gym and created the ultimate meatball and spaghetti dish. We tied the strings together to make long strings which stretched cross the length of the gym! It was an especially fun activity, as we held and measured the strings which zigzagged across the large gym.
