When Zaidy Was Young…

June 26, 2014Leave a Comment

Hold onto your hats, (your newsboy caps, of course) because we’ve stepped through a time portal to Zaidy’s time. All those tales our grandfathers told us have come to life in the Dining Hall. It’s been decked out to resemble the Lower East Side from the early 1900s. And of course, there are plenty of costumed vendors selling their goods in the convincing market place. While breakfast was going on, campers lined up to ride a trolley stationed in the center of the Dining Hall. We danced, and made a train of campers and counselors which snaked its way across the whole room.

Activities are in full swing. Hammers are banging away in the leather room, and there is beautiful art being created in Canvas Painting. In the Sweet Shop, campers are creating beaches on cupcakes. We are taking full advantage of the awesome costumes and holding bunk photo shoots – 1900s style. Don’t worry, we will bend the laws of time and bring you more digital updates while we are here in the 1900s, hanging with Zaidy.
