 The Black are Back

The Onondagas edge the Cayugas in the Swim/Boat Carnival

   In one of the closest competitions in many years, the defending champion Onondagas eked out a one-point win over the Cayugas in the girls Indian Swim/Boat Carnival. This year’s contest featured several new and challenging events, and overall the event was a great success with some fine individual and team performances. Christina Fink excelled in the no-hands water treading competition, while Katelyn Swenson and Nicole Jarck won the surfboard race for the Cayugas by a wide margin. Brittany Mount and Racheal Schott, while not winning the canoe race, did come up with their own unique backward paddling style! White Woman Dana Beck raved about “the incredible cheering and sportsmanship displayed by all involved, and as exemplified by Emily Durlacher’s support for her fellow competitors in the playak relay.” Dana also noted that the C.I.T.’s provided amazing assistance throughout the afternoon. The next Indian games will be held in a week with girls Rolas and the boys Boat Carnival; full standings in the competition can be found by clicking here.

A Variety of Fun for the Younger Campers

 The weather has been spectacular the last few days at camp, and the younger campers have taken full advantage of these warm and sunny days. The Intermediate girls had their own beach volleyball party on camp’s sand court, complete with tropical music and drinks and even a limbo contest. The Intermediate boys had a sand castle building contest, with the Sugarloaf cabin prevailing among several outstanding creations. The Pioneers had perfect strawberry-picking weather, and picked, according to their own account, “many hundreds, or maybe it was thousands” of strawberries.
