What Anything Goes Days do you remember??

As Staff I remember...."Okay people, lets have some ideas, no everybody cannot go to Bush Gardens, no all the staff cannot sign up for Lazy Day - it must be more  than an all day rest day in your tents!!!..."

I remember leading...

Swim The James River

   As if I did not get enough water time as it was!  Garland, Mary Ann, Cindy et others and I lead the group over in row boats.  Picnic on the Jamestown side of the river.  Then  some of the staff were dared to swim back with the kids in the boats!  They left us!!  I remember the tide going out  and grabbing hold of one of the poles in the river near Chanco.  Garland came back to rescue us.  Man were we nuts.  As a parent now I would cringe to think of my kid swimming the James...but I think of the things we did as kids and our kids miss out on now...

Day at Mizy's

  Spent the day helping Mr. Mizy. (is Mizy's still there or is it a housing development now)  Learning to be caretaker's of God's creation.  Then a rousing game of capture the flag, picnic and ice cream, then a snooze under the trees and back to camp in time for FREE SWIM!!

Indian Raid on Jamestown

  With Garland, Cathy, Tom, Brian, Cindy, Roger et others.  We walked down from camp to the ferry - The Ocean City- then hiked up to Jamestown.  Of course the tourists loved it. Gave a 'warhoop" as we entered, Sat on the wall inside the fort and sang camp songs of Indian nature - "i zicz zica,zumba zumba" with hand motions LOL and tried to look mean!

 Cookie Cooking Day

  Made and painted roll out cookies (all from scratch) for the whole camp!! In the Old Dining Hall (Talbots Hall)   It was hot.  Made some other cookies too!  I still have the recipe.
