Program Office is off to a great start!

Carnival is right around the corner and the Program Office is working hard to make the day one to remember! We have kept the classic booths, like the dunk tank and the slip ‘n slide. We are also excited to see the campers participate in the new booths like Baggo! In addition to the excitement of the carnival, the campers will participate in a camp-wide Relay for Life to raise money for Juvenile Cancer Research. This involves the campers walking with their unit for 15 minute intervals throughout the 3 ½ hour carnival. Other pool events throughout the day will add to the amount of money raised for Relay.
The day’s events will end with an awesome evening program. Billy Jonas is a crowd favorite and every time he performs at Blue Star, it is a “slam dunk.”
Options are now in full swing! Specialists are doing a great job of teaching their skill areas to campers and the children seem to be having a blast in their Blue Star options. Teen Village had their first Zumba Class with Stacey today and everyone was up dancing and exercising.
Programming is off to a great start!
