The entire camp crowded into the Rec Hall for the Big Chenny Idol finale. Zach Grossman, Carly Wills and Elliana Sutton performed 2 songs each. Their first performance was a song of their choice and each sang I’ll Be There by Michael Jackson for their second.

Each performance was fantastic and the crowd sang along, chanted and cheered. Then it was time for the results… each camper voted for their favorite and as the crowd waited, we tallied the votes.

Travis “Seacrest” brought all three finalists out to center stage and made the announcement: “Elliana Sutton is our Chenny Idol”. It was a close race to the finish. All three did an amazing job and we are so proud of each one of them.

As the winner of Chenny Idol, Elliana will be treated like a star, she will have a limo waiting to take her and her entourage (bunk) to a restaurant for a night of fun and great food. She will also have her name on a Chenny Star of Fame, which will be permanently displayed outside our School of Rock.

We loaded the buses and headed to Dorney Park for a day of roller coasters and water slides. The weather was questionable but we kept the faith and were on our way. The hint of potential rain kept everyone else out of the park so it seemed as if we had it all to ourselves. The campers had a great day at the park.

The campers will enjoy late wake up tomorrow. They played all day and are looking forward to the extra sleep.

Another amazing day spent with our Chen-A-Wanda family.

We are all anxiously awaiting tomorrow’s final Chenny Idol Show and who will be crowned our Chenny Idol!

Just one of those fabulous camp days… lots of sun, lots of playing, lots of memories being made.

The Show off Show came back to CHEN-A-WANDA and it was hilarious. The campers laughed and winced as they watched this funny guy contortionist, twist himself into a pretzel (literally) and then actually fit his whole body thru a toilet seat. You have to see it to believe it. It was awesome and disturbing all at the same time.

Dorney Park tomorrow……Can’t wait!

After a fantastic day spent with family and friends on Visiting Day, we had late wake up and a full day of activities and games. Everyone just got right back into the swing of things.

The weather was beautiful today and center camp was busy with Girls Sing practice. But the talk around camp was, “who will be in the Chenny Idol finals?” With all the Idol chatter buzzing around camp…it was time to announce the finalists. After lunch, everyone was called to the Rec Hall and the announcement was made. Your Top 3 Chenny Idol Finalists are:

• Carly Wills
• Ellianna Sutton
• Zach Grossman

They will be singing their final songs on Wednesday evening in hopes to be crowned our 1st Chenny Idol.

Our evening ended with an outdoor, under the stars movie. All the campers brought their blankets, sleeping bags, pillows and creek chairs and enjoyed watching an oldie but goodie, BIG!!!

We wonder what tomorrow will bring…

Friends and Families,

We cannot express how much we enjoyed today. Watching you spend the day with your kids, after being away from them for 3 weeks, is unbelievably joyful for us. We love spending the summer with your children and we hope it shows. All of our lives are richer from this experience and today was no exception, it was exceptional. You all made today memorable and a day that we will never forget. The hugs, the kisses, the tears goodbye all symbolize this special place we call our summer home.

We sincerely hope you had a spectacular day, because we did. All of your campers are happy and content in their bunks… ready for another amazing day at Camp CHEN-A-WANDA.
