Summer Issue #4 -- July 22, 2011 - Campus Kids

Hello Campus Kids!
Week 4 was a hot one, however, despite the heat, we had so many amazing
things happen to take our minds off of it! On Tuesday we found some seriously awesome
super hero outfits for super hero day, followed by Wednesday with SUPER
MARIO DAY where the divisions broke into their groups and participated in Super
Mario related activities!!! Thursday night was the week 4 musical which showcased
many talented performers… however, something I would like to point out is that we did not only see
Solar Sisters talent in the show, we saw and continue to see it daily in activities and in the bunk. One of
my favorite things to do is walk around to different groups a bunk time and see the beautiful bracelets being
made, or the musical talent of guitars being played and songs being sang… not only does it reflect that
of the people, but it reflects the happy fun loving atmosphere camp provides for us.
Week 4 marks the end of session 2, and for some of us, it is our “closing time” at camp. To our
dupers Elliot, Madi, Sami, Arielle, and Emily, you have meant so much to the older girls division, and you
have grown so much at camp. We are going to miss you very much but we are excited for you as you continue
to grow into young adults. For the rest of the Solar Sisters that we are saying good-bye to today, we
are going to miss you very much, we hope you have an amazing rest of your summer and to look forward
to seeing you again in the near future… If you are reading this and are about to become a new addition to
the Solar Sister family… WELCOME! Get excited for what is about to be some of the most fun weeks of
your life!
Much love,
Kim ODP — Head Counselor- Older Girls division
Cooking and Mermaids..Don’t Mix!
– A story by Dana and Michelle
“Order up!” said Chef Gustav serving his famous
clam salad to the waiter, Bruce. “We are out of trout
Chef G,” said Mikayla bursting from the storage
room. Chef Gustav decided to go fishing himself, like
in the old days when fancy cheese fondue cost only
a dime. He grabbed a raft and set off to the river.
…
The water was pushing Gustav down the river. He
caught tuna and salmon, but no trout. One second
he was calmly rafting, the next second he was holding
onto a stone and soaking wet. His fishing rod
was twitching hard. “Is that a trout?” he wondered.
And when he heard a shriek he knew what it was: a
blue whale! Its hair was unlike any whale he’d seen.
He called animal control and told them about a
whale in the river. The blue whale was in a gorgeous
shade of tan and green. Poor whale.. well, at least
Chef G. has enough tuna to make 100 tuna melts.
