e-Scuttle 2012- Week 6

August 6, 2012

Week 6 started out as usual with amazing activities and events.  Groups in all divisions went on off-campus trips (see divisional updates below for recaps of the trips), the 3rd and 4th grade performed in fantastic theater arts productions and all groups enjoyed their favorite camp activities like swimming, banana boating and soccer.  Campers beat the “island heat” on Friday at our incredible Hawaiian Water Carnival which featured many water slides, rides and one of our favorites- the foam pit!  But it’s our 20th Anniversary “Sail-A-Bration”…of course we had more surprises up our sleeves!

The surprises started at the authentic Hawaiian Luau.  While the fire dancer performed, campers heard cheers and chants in the distance.  It could only mean one thing- it was time for COLOR WAR!  The leaders of the WHITE MYRTLES and BLUE RAYS ran out into the show to officially kick off Color War 2012 in a surprise break!

As the teams broke into their first meetings, they were surprised again with the announcement that this year’s Color War Sing will be featured on TLC’s hit show “Cake Boss”! Next Friday, August 10, the cast and producers of TLC’s hit show, “Cake Boss” will be at Rolling River and ready to participate in Color War (as well as present us with a special 20th anniversary cake to end Color War week)!  Cake Boss is a reality television series, airing on the cable television network TLC. Set at Carlo’s Bakery in Hoboken, New Jersey, the show mainly follows Buddy Valastro and his family as they operate their business, with a focus on how they make their cakes, along with family gatherings and celebrations.  There have been over 100 episodes since 2009 and the show averages over 1.5 million viewers worldwide. Rolling River’s episode will air in late fall and we will notify campers and staff of the air date once we receive it.
