Hi Inters Families,
What an exciting week we’ve had at Romaca!! Between Fourth of July, Campfire, and tie dying t-shirts, the fun doesn’t seem to stop in Bunks 5, 6, 8, and 9!
On Sunday, we celebrated Independence Day with our annual Paint Your Counselor event as well as a trip to Berkshire Bob’s for a fireworks show. It was so fun watching the girls get messy and silly with each other, while also using their superb Creative Arts skills to paint their summer mommies red, white, and blue. On the ride to Berkshire Bob’s, we shared a bus with the Junior girls, which lent itself to tons of singing and cheering the whole way there and back. Your daughters were so excited to be the “older kids” and show off their knowledge of Romaca songs to the little ones.
This week we also had a jam packed schedule of Evening Activities. On Sunday night, we had our second campfire, where the girls reflected upon the past week at camp as we all came together to sing our favorite camp songs. I loved using Campfire as a comparison point between last week and this week; it was so exciting to see how much more comfortable and close the girls were with one another after only a week of camp. I can’t wait to see what their relationships are like by week 7! On Tuesday night, we spent the night tie dying in Creative Arts. Their Romaca and/or plain white tees look awesome! On Thursday night, we had Twin Night, where each of your girls dressed up in a fun costume with their camp sister, cosplaying “twins”. I’m sure you know from the phone calls before camp, but little camp sisters seriously look up to their older camp sisters at Romaca, and your girls are no exception to this rule! They were so excited to spend the night with an older girl attached at their hip.
This upcoming week, we have DJ Jeff (an all camp dance party until a whopping 10:30pm!) and International Day (a special event where the camp is split up into different “airlines” and each “airline” travels to stations around camp representing the different cultures of the counselors working at camp this summer). I can’t wait, and I know your daughters can’t either!
Have a great weekend,
Sam Schmaier
