Starlight came alive as the first ever Battle Royale began. The atmosphere was electric as counselors and campers went head to head in a fierce competition. As the battle commenced campers and counselors needed to compete in 11 interactive and exciting rounds. Each round was filled with exhilarating tasks from rapping and singing to dancing and rolling around in candy; it’s safe to say the Battle Royale had it all. As each round ended campers and counselors began to walk away from the stage coved in various different substances some of which included ketchup, make-up and tape. The night was a complete success with all campers and counsellors having an amazing time. When round 11 came to a dramatic end campers and counsellors waited with baited breath to discover who would win the overall Camp Starlight Battle Royale 2015. The room erupted as the campers successfully took home the winning title and gained a free pass from inspection for the following Monday. The night was loud, exciting and fun; it was definitely a dramatic end to a thrilling day.

Thursday, July 16th, 2015The Curse of the Witch Scavenger Hunt
Thursday, July 16th, 2015
As the sun went down over the idyllic lake last night, Camp Starlight was visited by a mysterious and wicked sorcerer who cast an evil spell over the camp. The malevolent figure brought with him a tyranny of supernatural creatures including Genies, Witches, and Wizards who roamed the camp. As the spell was cast on the camp, it was up to the campers to come out in force to oust the evil sorcerer.
As darkness descended, the campers dressed up as supernatural creatures to fool the sorcerer into thinking he had taken control of Starlight. Quickly, the Starlighters worked together to collect numerous ingredients to dethrone the master. However, the campers did not have an easy job to undertake, as they had to visit each of the sorcerer’s troublesome companions and complete a difficult task.
Despite the problematic situation, our talented campers succeeded in collecting all of the treasured possessions and returning happiness, laughter, and sunshine to Camp Starlight, in what happened to be a thrilling evening!

Beginning Junior summer, campers dream of the day when they will finally be Upper Seniors. As young campers, the Uppers seem to have it all. Now those little girls ARE the Upper Seniors, and even some of them can’t believe it. “I thought I’d feel older,” said Upper Senior Alexa W. “It’s strange and amazing to think that I’m now the role model I always looked up to in lower camp.” And that pressure does not escape them. As Upper Seniors, these girls have several new responsibilities. Upper Senior Ava S. reflected on her experience as an Upper during Spirit of Starlight. “It’s very different; We’re in charge. It’s something we did really independently, so the pressure was on.” This responsibility was certainly not a bad thing, however, seeing as the “Aca Seniors” did an unbelievable job at Spirit of Starlight. Their division leader, Nora, is extraordinarily proud of them. “This is a VERY creative bunch. They’re super spirited and up for anything!” These qualities are what make this group of Uppers really stand out. Counselor Gabby, who also got to see these girls as lower seniors last summer, is amazed by this entire division. “It makes me so proud to see how much each of these girls really care for this camp.”
