We had a great day yesterday. The lakefront was hoppin’ with action and the water trampoline was the place to be. Campers were flying off the blob and loving every minute of it. The beach was busy with campers building sand castle and the middy boys made a fiddle lake replica and took great pride in their creation.

It was packing night for the Supers, GC’s and CIT’s/Waits. They are headed out for their BIG Trip to Virginia Beach. Our Collegiates and Seniors got a night out at the movies while our Juniors, Middies, and Inters had a ball bowling.

Our 3 oldest divisions head out to Virginia Beach tomorrow (Tuesday) its back to Camel Beach for the rest of camp. Our last attempt was rained out and with today’s sunny forecast, the campers are happy to head back to Camel beach for a fun day at a fantastic water park.

Another fantastic day down at Camp CHEN-A-WANDA!

It was another great day of full activities at Camp Chen-A-Wanda. Girls camp set the bar high with a fantastic Girls Sing so the boys are rehearsing tirelessly for Boys Lip Sync. We are all looking forward to see their stuff next week at their show.

We had a rip roarin’ time at our Western Hoedown. It was our mid-summer social & the campers were line dancing in their cowboy boots and ten gallon hats. Party Hardy played rockin music and the campers had a ball. It was great night and everyone danced till they dropped.

Stay tuned for what’s to come tomorrow.

What a fantastic day we had today. The sun was shining and all the activities were busy with happy campers. It was just one of those great camp days that standouts as spectacular.

It was our 70th Birthday Party and we played old school party games like they did way back then, including hot potato, pin the tail on the donkey and twister. There was a beautiful birthday cake and hundreds of Chenny color cupcakes for everyone at the party. As we sang Happy Birthday to this place we all love, we had the staff who has been here for 10 years plus stand in honor of our past. Then we asked the juniors to stand to represent our future… then together as one, the whole camp stood to represent the present. What a gift to have our summer family, standing together honoring the 70th birthday of this amazing place we call our summer home.

Happy Birthday Chen-A-Wanda !! We’ve never looked better.

It was a fabulous Friday at Camp Chen-A-Wanda and the campus was gearing up for the evening’s big show, Girls Sing. All the divisions were putting the finishing touches on a week’s worth of hard work and preparation. Our girls were buzzing around camp dressed as aliens, characters from fairy tales, cheerleaders, and much more!

Each division spent countless hours writing songs and preparing dances that fit the theme they decided on. The themes were:

• Juniors: Jai Ho
• Middies: Motown
• Inters: Intertwined
• Collegiates: Ever After
• Seniors: High School Musical 3 – Senior Year
• Supers: Supernovas
• GCs: In It To Win It
• CITs/Waitresses: Circus

Although all of our girls did a fabulous job, at the end of the night there could only be two winners. After much suspense, it was our Juniors and CIT/Waitresses that took the prize. They will be treated to an Italian food party here at C-A-W. Everyone did an amazing job and it will be the boys’ turn next week to show their stuff!

It was a great day full of activities and fun. Girls campus was in heavy duty practice mode for tomorrow night’s Girls Sing. All the divisions are working hard on their performances. This tradition runs deep at Chen-A-Wanda and everyone is looking forward to the big show.

As the day fell into dusk, it was all about Powder Puff! The flag football game was on between our GC girls & our CITs/Waitresses. The GCs dressed in black and the CITs/Waitresses were all in white. The competition was fierce and the stakes were high. Which of the divisions would hold the title as our 1st official Powder Puff Champions? The GC boys and CIT/Waiters got into the action as they cheered, danced, twirled and provided our halftime entertainment. Wait till you see the video. You have to see it to believe it.

After four quarters, it was official. THE GC’S WON IT ALL in a 21-7 Victory. Congratulations to all our tough football playing girls and our extremely spirited cheer boys!!!

Another fantastic day at CAW.
