Riley in girls Bunk 3 is finally old enough to join her sister, Jessie, at camp this summer. Having spent the last few summers at day camp, she has been looking forward to coming to Camp Starlight after hearing about all the great things that happen here. In fact, looking forward to coming is probably a bit of an understatement – she is REALLY excited to be here.
Riley attended the New Camper Day earlier this month and while there she met her new friend, Ellie. She was also lucky enough to experience a Camp Starlight tradition that day as anyone who celebrates a birthday at camp gets to raise the flag. Riley feels that New Camper Day has really helped her settle into camp quickly, and yes, made her even more excited to get here.
Jack in boys Bunk 1 tells a similar story. It’s his first time at sleepaway camp too but he has bought loads of things from home to help him settle in, including movie posters to put on the wall above his bed. All junior campers have their bags unpacked prior to arrival and this meant that Jack could focus on the important things like making new friends and playing gaga as soon as he arrived. Jack is most excited about learning how to waterski this summer so watch out waterfront staff!
