Camp was hoppin’ today. Everyone is settling into their schedules. The energy on camp is fantastic. We hope that all the pictures and videos we post, translate that amazing feeling that occurs here at Chen-A-Wanda.

Sign & Song is coming up on Thursday so campus was packed with all of girl side practicing their dances. The girls are so excited to get up on the stage in the Rec Hall and show off their stuff. They are working hard getting all the steps right and loving every minute of it. This long standing tradition is a camp favorite and we can’t wait to see the show on Thursday night. Go Girls!!!

It was the boys turn in The Zone today and the Junior, Middy & Seniors loved it!! It was a water gun bonanza and they had the best time. All are looking forward to their next visit back.

The campers were making deals at tonight’s evening activity, Deal or No Deal. The Rec Hall went crazy as campers turned down pizza parties and were holding out for a night out of bowling for their bunk.

Another great day at CAW.

It was a fantastic day at camp today. The sun was shining and all the campers loved their full day of activities.  We had our 1^st first friend’s event. All the Bigs met their Littles and played games, go to know each other and started that amazing camp bond that happens here. It went great and all the kids joined in and loved it. Boys camp played a giant game of Rock Paper Scissors and had a ball. The Bigs shared their love for CAW with the Littles, who are just starting their amazing journey here at camp.

It was the first official opening of our newest activity, The Zone. Middy and Junior girls were the first to experience the Zone and it was AWESOME!! They were in combat with their blasting water guns and slinging those water balloons. This brand new addition has proven to be one of the most fun activities in camp. Throw on your bathing suit, get on the gear and get wet!!!!  It is extreme and everyone loves The Zone!!

We were entertained by Dangerous Dave Cox and his spectacular juggling show for our evening activity. The kids laughed along as his crazy antics entertained the crowd. Then it was off to bed for our campers. Getting a good night sleep so we all can all be ready for another amazing day here at Chen-A-Wanda.

The buses rolled in around 1pm and we were in full stride. Tons of cheering counselors and campers were awaiting everyone’s arrival. Counselors met their new campers, campers reconnected with old friends, and started to make new ones too. Within minutes kids were out to activities, running, jumping, and soaking each other in the Zone, playing sports, and just having some good old fashion fun. The Chenny spirit was in the air.

At night we met the staff and saw a slide show of highlights from Summer 2009. The kids and staff were so excited, singing along, and dancing in their seat. The Rec Hall was a rockin’ and the music wasn’t stopin’. The kids got canteen and played some games. Then it was back to the bunk to get some needed rest for tomorrow.

It was a great first day and you can feel the enthusiasm in the air.  We all can’t wait for tomorrow.

It’s gonna be one great summer…
