The Sari Diaries- Thursday 7/30/15

Thursday, July 30 by Sari Hirsch

Hello Chippy fams!!

It is Sophie (Ally S.) and Sari (Alexa R.) reporting live from #TheRanch2015.

As you can tell it’s Camper Counselor Switch Day!!!!!!!!!!!!! Camper Counselor Switch Day is a day when campers take on the role of counselors, and run the activities. The counselors then have the opportunity to participate in activities they otherwise wouldn’t be able to do. On the day, campers and counselors switch clothes, personalities, and schedules. In the oldest cabin, Lakeview, many campers have taken on the most crucial roles of Chippewa. Missy R. is currently living a day in the life of Cliff, and doing some of his work. Helen E (Sam Schwartz) and Ariana G (Jane Fox), as the Tan and White Neutrals, will be announcing tonight’s evening program- Sports Night.

Tonight, the campers will be split up, by age, into separate fields to play sports. The youngest campers (Braves) will enjoy a game of steal the bacon. The next age group (Hunters) will play nucomb. Nucomb is just like volleyball except campers are permitted to catch the ball. The middle-aged campers (Warriors) will play a game of basketball. And the oldest campers (Chiefs) will have a blast playing a game of soccer. It should be tons of fun!

Due to some weather complications, the evening program was switched from Sports Night to Tan and White Lip Sync. It was such a blast! Six teams were created on each Tan and White team, and were led by one CIT and one Lakeview member. The team then created a dance that accommodated the campers of all ages within that team. All of the dances were not only super fun to participate in, but also even more fun to watch. Everyone worked really hard and showed off their best moves but of course there could be only one winner, and that ended up being the Whites.

Today was a super successful day full of fun and laughter. Now all the Chippies are getting ready to go to sleeeeeep. Goodnight Chippy fams!!

Happy Camping and Love,

Sari (Alexa R.) and Sophie (Ally S.)
