What’s In A Slushie?

Now that all the snow if FINALLY melting, we can’t stop thinking about our favorite ice cold drink at Camp! The SLUSHIE!

Now, if you’ve never had an infamous Camp Starlight Slushie, you’re definitely missing out. Available only in the canteen, along side your favorite candy bar of course, it can be made into almost any concoction of flavors imaginable. First we start with the “slush”  a frozen ICEE type of substance, ice cold pellets and sweet in itself.

Next comes the flavoring, campers love this part because they get to customize their slushie to taste exactly how they want it to. From Cherry to Bubble Gum, the possibilities are endless!  In the mood for a sweet classic; Blue Raspberry is the way to go! Maybe you want a little tartness in your life; Lemon Lime is the choice for you. But, one of the most popular Slushie flavors at Camp Starlight is SHOCKER; a clear flavor that packs a lot of punch, an extremely sour punch. Some campers will mix it with other flavors, but the “bravest” taste budded children will choose it alone.

So what is in a Slushie?  Think mini ice pellets, small enough to drink through a straw, flavoring which can be mixed and matched to create whatever concoction you want. And of course fun! Because, who doesn’t love sticking their tongue out and asking their bunk mates “whaa collaa ithh maa tong?!”  (What color is my tongue)
