Visiting Day Thoughts

And so another Visiting Day Weekend comes to a close and what a great one it was! As forecasted, the weather was just perfect -- warm (not hot) and rain-free. Families hugged and kissed and cried and ate and played and had a great time together.

Visiting Day Happiness!

Sometimes parents wonder why their campers seem ready for Visiting Day to be over after an hour or so. It's not that they haven't missed you or don't love you, it's that they love camp so much and can't wait to get back into their routine with their cabin. We see that as the sign of a camper having a great summer. While some campers might be upset after saying goodbye to their families, their counselors and friends help wipe their tears away and by the time they are called to the dining hall for dinner (which no one ever eats because they are still stuffed from all their favorite goodies they munched on during the day) they are just fine!

And so, what happens on Visiting Day night? Free Play follows dinner and then it's down to BB1 for the Visiting Day Dance. Any lingering sadness is definitely gone by then, as the DJ gets everybody singing, dancing, and smiling!
