Tuesday was a wild election day in the US. Did you vote? Are you old enough to vote? We seem to be living in a very tumultuous time. The political ads were enough to drive anyone to a complete lack of knowing who to vote for. Sometimes the negative ads made us dislike the person sponsoring the commercial. So what does this have to do with the camp world? Well, every time we watched one of these political ads, it felt like the opposite of camp. At camp we choose to support each other and not attack those in our environment. We embrace different ideas and use disagreements as a springboard for learning and growing. We live at camp in an honest state of mind, where we trust our neighbors. And of course, Campus Kids has never been about winning or losing. It has always been about trying your best and being the person you are. Seems to contradict everything involved with the whole political process.
Winter is rapidly approaching. Don't forgot to adjust your clocks this weekend. We get an extra hour of sleep over the weekend. Of course the downside is a shorter afternoon. Nobody likes to drive home from work or after school practice in the dark. Less time to run around outside, and less time to get things done during the day. But as we move through the calendar week, we do get closer to some exciting times. The Campus Kids Minisink Reunion is happening on December 4th from 10:00 AM until 12:30 PM. The event takes place at Sportstime USA in Elmsford, New York. We would love to see everyone on that date for a morning of food, friends, laughs, and memories. We rent out the entire facility and play video games, laser tag, batting cages, and some fun indoor rides. This will be our third year using this place and each reunion has been very successful. Some years we have had staff members fly in from overseas. We are not sure if anyone is flying over this year, but we will keep our fingers crossed.
We are doing tours up at camp this weekend. There might be a staff member or two with a video camera up there. Although camp looks different this time of the year, it is still picturesque. Do you know what that means? More video and photo games yeah! If you are not sure what this means, well we had some fun last week with a new game on our facebook page. We had a great time posting obscure videos and having people guess where they taken at camp. So keep checking our facebook page to see if any more games appear. There might be some rule changes, but don't expect the challenges to be any easier.
We hope everyone in our extended CK family has a great weekend. Stay warm and we will chat again with you next week.
