Week 4 was our busiest yet. Such fun was had at Late Nite, Parent’s Day, Talent Show and Awards Assembly. Speaking of Parents’ Day, we can’t stress enough how thrilled we were to see so many parents enjoy the day with us last Thursday…perhaps it was the Clam Chowder that attracted so many?
Just prior to awards being handed out on Friday, campers and staff were entertained by the talents of Clayton and Casey with their Fife and Drum Core. Other performers included Mel (Music and Drama), Gosi (lifeguard) and Abby (4GA).
We welcomed our first rainy day at High Meadow on Friday. While just a couple activities were substituted, most took place in the great outdoors anyway. As they say, “The show must go on.” And ON it did…
Our swim instructors brought some excitement to Instructional Swim on Friday. Water aerobics were introduced to all age groups and proved to be very popular. They had that pool deck hopping!
Please be sure to check out the weekly lunch menu on this site as well as the photo gallery as it is updated often. See you next week.
Lunch Menu: (subject to change)
Monday – Roast Beef w/gravy, mashed potatoes, mixed veggies
Tuesday – Make your own grinders
Wednesday -- American Chopped Suey
Thursday -- Chicken Nuggets, tater tots, green beans
Friday -- Pizza Day
All include Salad Bar

Week 3 finally brought some relief…in the form of snow! Bob Maxon, of Channel 30 News, predicted freezing temperatures and snow at High Meadow on Friday morning. Campers enjoyed activities including sledding, ice block melting, ice fishing for prizes, ice hockey and more. A news crew from NBC visited HMDC and aired some footage showing our youngest campers on sleds. This concluded our exciting Winter Carnival festivities.
Campers, CIT’s and counselors have been scurrying to keep up with the ever changing schedules as we try to cram in as much fun as possible. Favorites this week included the recently added Zip-line, Cooking (French Crepes were on the menu), Kickball, Climbing Wall, and preparations for next week’s Music and Drama presentation.
Looking ahead to week 4, our camp theme will be American Idol. Guest judges will bring some humor to the events including the Music and Drama presentation on Wednesday. We are excited about Late Nite on Tuesday, July 20, for 5th graders and higher. Later in the week will be Parents’ Day, slated for Thursday, July 22, with the rain date of Friday. This is a favorite event where each camper can share his/her daily camp experience with Mom and Dad. We look forward to seeing you all.
Mark your calendars now...In lieu of Parents’ Day during the second session, we have a fun Family Night planned during week 7. More information will be coming.

High Meadow Blog Update
July 7, 2010
Welcome to our new weekly blog on the High Meadow Day Camp website. This is where we will keep you up to speed on the current goings on at camp each week. We’ll also be posting camp photos, so make sure to check the blog and see if your child is featured.
The second week of camp has brought record high temperatures, and left our campers and staff running for water. Hopefully relief will come soon. In the meantime, to beat the heat we’ve added extra swim time to our schedule, made sure that more of our games are played in the shade, and sent campers home at the end of the day with plenty of bottled water so they stay hydrated.
I am also very excited to announce that a zip-line was recently installed at camp and will be a part of our popular adventure program. Our trained staff will assist campers to ensure that they safely use this exciting new course. This activity will be offered to our campers in fifth grade and above. We’re sure it’s going to be a big hit!
As camp gets going this summer, it’s gratifying to see our campers make new friends and get reacquainted with their old friends from previous summers. We are reminded that High Meadow is, indeed, a special place where children grow.
Dates to remember
• July 15 – Picture Day
• July 20 – Late Night (5th grades and up)
• July 22 – Parents Day
