Talent, Talent, and more Talent!

Greetings, bloggers! Cara B. here with all the latest at HVC.

Last night after hearing the results from cabin inspections and a special weather guy forecast provided by Shangri-La (their wheel prize was to be weather guy for the day!) we enjoyed a yummy pizza dinner eaten outside picnic-style and headed back to the gazebo for ValleyFest! ValleyFest is our camper talent show, and boy, do we have some talented campers! There was lots of singing, some dancing, some card tricks, a spit take or two, some songs played on unique instruments, breaking wooden boards with punches and kicks, and even a gymnastics routine! All of our campers and staff were wonderful audience members, giving huge cheers after each act. We have so many talented campers that some ValleyFest acts will be performing later in the session, so stay tuned for those!

We woke up to an egg bar breakfast today on the fourth day of our second set of classes! The fourth day of classes means that it is the last day of our first set of minis. Mini classes are offered during the second half of the session. They are classes that are offered for just four days instead of eight, so that campers can have the opportunity to try out even more classes! During morning meeting, the Birthday Bee and her special helper announced that there were seven birthdays today! They brought out extra birthday organs and we were sure to sing extra loud. Right now, everyone is out and about enjoying the warmth and sun on this beautiful day.

Tonight is the under the sea dance! I can’t wait to see everyone’s costumes and hear all about the awesome activities from Mama Iguana tomorrow. For now, enjoy photos from the younger half’s trip to Lake St. George yesterday and ValleyFest!

Over and out!
