The Pool Party
The pool party consisits of a bunch of water games, played in and out
of the camp pool, and ends with a long free swim period. On occasion,
a huge water slide is set up on the hill outside the pool fence.
The friendship circle is done in the pool.
Joint Night
Joint night is the night when Sertoma and Hope join together to do the
evening program. Each Hope cabin is assigned a Sertoma buddy cabin and
each Hope camper a Sertoma buddy. Its a really special experience to
see these very different people come together and learn from one
another. There are usually stations to go to
where fun stuff happens. This year, there was even a helicoptor at one
joint night!
Skits & Barges
The last night of camp is skit night. Each cabin has created a skit and
they perform it for the rest of their camp. In between the skits, there
is singing and celebrating. After each skit, the counselors for that cabin
present each camper with a special, homemade award. After the skits, the
barges ceremony ensues. In camp Hope, the barges legend is read and then
"indians" canoe in in a boat and light a bonfire. Each camper has a little
candle boat that they light from the fire and float into the lake. Then there
is a sharing circle where anyone can tell how they feel about the week.
Camp Sertoma begins with a sharing circle where everyone shares one thing
about their week. Then, cabins leave one at a time to light their barges
and float them out on the lake.
