Visiting Day at Camp Starlight

Screen Shot 2015-07-19 at 8.19.19 AMVisiting Day is always a special day at Camp Starlight, but it also signifies that we’re almost half way through the summer – it seems it was just yesterday that we were welcoming bus loads of campers old and new to Starlight. Yesterday at 10:00 am the camp road was lined with smiling parents excited to see their children and at 11:00 am the floodgates opened as parents swarmed the paths towards the bunks.

Over the past few weeks, our campers haven’t only been busy writing up their Visiting Day wish lists, but they have also been hard at work on various different projects around camp. Aside from the masses of hugs and sweets, one of the things that makes visiting day extraordinary each year is that our campers are extremely proud to show off what they have been working on.  Campers couldn’t wait to show their loved ones our cool new music studio, and to show them what they have been hard at work on in Arts and Crafts and Woodworking.

As the sun always shines at Camp Starlight, it was appropriate that the sun came out in force yesterday and we had the perfect weather for Visiting Day. Following boating trips on the lake, enjoying a delicious cookout for lunch, and playing games of Volleyball and Basketball, sadly Visiting Day had to come to a close. However, it was another incredible and overwhelming Visiting Day at Camp Starlight and we can’t wait to see what the next four weeks bring!
