Today was one for the books—a phenomenal Trip Day filled with adventure, laughter, and unforgettable memories for every division. Our Freshman, Junior, and Middy campers spent the day at Knoebel’s Amusement Resort, where they rode rollercoasters, played carnival games, and indulged in all the best park snacks. The energy was sky-high as campers raced from ride to ride, shared cotton candy with friends, and tried their luck at winning oversized stuffed animals—some of which made their way back to camp in proud arms. They rolled back into Chenny at the end of the day totally exhausted but absolutely exhilarated, smiles stretched from ear to ear.
Meanwhile, our Inter and Collegiate campers made a splash at Kalahari Water Park, one of the biggest and best indoor water parks around. With every twist of a slide and every wave in the pool, the campers soaked up a day of pure water-filled fun. Whether floating down the lazy river or racing down body slides, the joy was nonstop.
Our Seniors, Supers, and GCs started their day in a more relaxed way, enjoying the serenity of a nearby state park. They tossed footballs, lounged with friends, played music, and just enjoyed being together in the beautiful weather. The vibes were relaxed and easy—exactly what they needed. Later, the group split up for more fun—half went to the movies and the other half went roller skating. One of the most heartwarming moments of the day came when our Head Counselor, Nikki, was waiting in line for snacks at. the theater and was approached by a woman who asked if she was in charge. When Nikki replied yes, the woman said she had never seen such well-behaved and respectful kids and that we should be incredibly proud. It was one of those moments that reminds us how special this community truly is and how proud we are of how our campers engage with the world outside of camp.
Our CITs had a fantastic day of their own, kicking things off with breakfast at Bingham’s, a beloved local gem known for its incredible food. From there, they headed to The Crossings for some fun shopping and, as if that wasn’t enough, made their way to Dickson City to cap off the day with more shopping and dinner.
Now, with the sun set and camp buzzing with stories from the day, every camper is back, completely spent from the excitement—but full of joy. All of camp is back. All of camp is exhausted. And all of camp is happy. Another great day spent at our favorite place.
