Today was the kind of day that reminds us why camp is pure magic. The sun was shining, the skies were crystal clear, and the energy around camp was simply electric. From the moment the bugle rang this morning, there was a sense that something special was in the air—and it didn’t disappoint.
We kicked off our first Wayne County Games of the summer, and our campers showed up with spirit, heart, and hustle. Whether they were on the fields giving it their all or cheering on their friends from the sidelines, the sense of unity and pride in wearing “CAW” across their backs was unmistakable. Here’s how our amazing athletes did today:
-
Middy Boys Soccer: CAW 11 @ Westmont 2
-
Collegiate Boys Softball: CAW 7 @ Westmont 5
-
Freshman/Junior Girls Soccer: CAW 8 vs. Westmont 1
-
Collegiate Girls Lacrosse: CAW 13 @ Westmont 11
-
GC/CIT Girls Basketball: CAW 10 vs. Westmont 27
Win or lose, every player gave it their all—and that’s what makes us so proud. The sportsmanship, encouragement, and love of the game were front and center all day long.
But the day didn’t end there…
As the sun dipped behind the mountains, we all gathered together at the amphitheater for our Chenny Fireworks Spectacular—and it was nothing short of breathtaking. The sky came alive with color. The music played, the fireworks soared, and the oohs and ahhs echoed across camp.
For so many of our campers, this was their first fireworks show under the stars at Chenny—and the joy on their faces said it all. It’s a night they’ll never forget. Watching their eyes light up with wonder and hearing the laughter and cheers all around, we were reminded once again why these shared moments mean so much.
It wasn’t just a show—it was a celebration of community, of friendship, and of everything we’ve already experienced together in just a few short days. These are the moments that shape a summer. These are the memories your children will carry with them forever.
From competitive games to magical skies, today was everything we love about Camp Chen-A-Wanda. And the best part? We get to do it all again tomorrow. Let the summer magic keep rolling!
