Dear Shabblogger,

It is my camper's first year at camp. How will they ever know what activities are offered so they can help to design their bunk’s schedule?

Yours,

Scheduling Slueth

Dear Scheduling Slueth,

Here at camp we think it is SO important for campers to help design their own bunk’s schedule. If they have special interests or games they enjoy, it is important they tell their counselors so that it can be included in the group’s experience. One way they can learn about all of the things the different departments of camp have to offer is by participating in “rotations” the first day of each session. Counselors and campers take a tour of camp during which they see presentations by various departments: Jewish and Israeli programmers, the lifeguards, Arts and Crafts, and musicians. Later in the day they attend cabin floats when they are given time to try these various activities and play games.

So, Mr. Slueth, by the end of the day today your child will be a master of the different exciting activities offered here at Camp Tawonga.

Yours,

The Shabblogger
