A Grand Ol’Time at the Chenny Rodeo

Reality has set in that our last days of summer 2017 is knocking at our door. We had two final Championship games to pay today and went 1-1. Super Boys Basketball played their final game at Morasha and lost 53-57. The GC/CIT boys beat Westmont 3-1 in their soccer championship game.  It was an absolutely amazing sports season at Chenny and we accomplished what we set out to do this summer; play hard, play fair, learn a lot and have fun!!!

As the sun was setting over Fiddle Lake, we were all dressed up in our best outfits and headed to center camp where we took pictures together with our friends & counselors. Everyone looked beautiful. It was a perfect evening and as we walked into The Lodge for an amazing dinner, we were all in awe of how beautifully decorated the room was. It was a Chenny Rodeo and we were all little bit country tonight. It was a true southern BBQ as we dined on brisket sliders, corn on the cob, steak fries and caesar salad. Just an absolute incredible banquet with delicious food to make this night perfect.

After dinner it was off to Shields Hall for our end of the year division Awards. Each Division highlighted the following campers in 3 areas; Honor Camper, Athlete of the Year and All Around Camper. They are truly standout campers and we couldn’t be more proud to highlight and honor them on this great night. To receive on this night is the highest honor we can give our campers. These are remarkable campers who deserve all the accolades and praise they were given.

After the Awards, it was party time and we danced all night long. Shields Hall was full of campers who let loose and danced until their feet hurt. It was over the top fun having our last true dance party with our summer family. It’s so hard to believe the summer is over but we definitely went out with a bang. As campers headed back to their bunks, full of flashing rings, tiaras, glow sticks, glasses and T-shirts and other items that were given out at the party, everyone was exhausted and elated and had the times of their life tonight. It was a party like no other as we celebrated an absolutely incredible summer. One more day!
