Tuesday at Serendipity

Today is the hottest day we have had in awhile!!! Pool time this morning was refreshing and much needed. Our days here at Serendipity are pretty structured. In the morning the kids have bunktime, morning actvitiy (relating to their themed week), pool time, and lunch. In the afternoon the kids have afternoon activity (they choose daily) and bunktime. Bunktime is a unique time in which the campers have the opportunity to really bond with their bunkmates and counselors.

The picture above is of Aleshia (bunk 5) playing dodgeball during her afternoon activity. Dodgeball is a favorite at camp and is even more fun when the counselors participate.

First day of the week!

Hey all! Monday is one of the most exciting days of the week here at Serendipity! On Mondays our campers pick a week long themed activity. The counselors "sell" their activities to the campers so they can choose their 1st and 2nd preferences.

This week's choices:

Older campers--Photography week, Indoor Games week, Party Week, and Team Competition Week

Young bunks-- Transformers week!, Pinata Week, Recess Games Week, and Science Week

Every morning (weather permitting) the kids swim for an hour in the faculty pool. In this picture Brianna McFadden and her counselor Mai Schwartz are chilling in the pool on a regular day here at Serendipity.

End of Olympic Week

We had a full week here at Serendipity! On Monday we started our Olympic Week which is a Serendipity tradition. The camp was divided into four groups: Indonesia, Morocco, Hungary, and Canada. Our olympic activities consisted of the following: team flag/cheer competition, water bucket relay, counselor water balloon throw, garbage bag scavenger hunt, dodgeball tournament, and keep it up! Today we will tally the points for the final time and announce the winning team.

On Tuesday the younger bunks (1-3) went to the Lower Merion fire station. The firefighters talked about their jobs, fire prevention, and let the kids use the hoses. Also, on Wednesday the entire camp went to Upper Darby High School to see their Summer Stage production of Mulan.

We are looking forward to our overnight next Thursay for the older kids (bunks 4-7). It is an event that the older kids look forward to each summer and one in which the staff have the opportunity to spend some quality time with the kids.

I have to go tally the points and announce the winners....
