The block is called holiday. It is run by our drama department and it has quickly become one of the camper's favorite activities. It is a two-part activity, the first for planning and the second for execution. The kids invent their own holiday, something that is meaningful for them as a group, princess day, punky-monkey sweet day, frosted costume day, and candyland independence day to name a few. They create tradiditions, costumes and foods to accompany their day, and then they celebrate the holiday the second block.

It did not elude the boys of B-5 that this year, Camp Tawonga is celebrating its 80th year of life, and in observance of that milestone, the boys decided that their holiday would be Tawonga's Eightieth Birthday Celebration. They decided not only to plan a block for their bunk, but they have included the entire unit in their holiday. Fun times.

The older units will be starting their Livnot Sunday. Livnot are workshops that are intended to give the campers skills while they have an incredible time. They are led by specialists and counselors and some of the Livnot being offered this summer include: Pottery, A History of the Native People of this Area, A Ropes Course Leadership Training, A Theater laboratory, and a Stomp Livnot, inspired by the musical hit. I am jealous.

More to come.
