Joy of Camp Traditions
ONCE IN A TEAM…ALWAYS IN “THE” TEAM
Camp Team
The moment you arrive in camp you become an Archer, a Monarch or a Thunderbird and you are a part of this team in your heart “forever”! Part of our check-in process is to “go get my tribe team”!!! If your mom, grandmom, sister or cousin was in the “Red, Green, or Blue” team you automatically get the option to be a part of this legacy.
As an Archer, Monarch or Thunderbird team member, you will enjoy the traditions of tribe competition through tennis tournaments, swim meets, sporting events, and many other activities. You will be cheering for your team members through your team songs and cheers, led by your own team leaders.
Team participation naturally develops leadership, cooperation and friendship among girls of different age groups. Often our campers are in the same team as their moms, cousins or sisters…and often family members choose to be in a different team just for fun and to express their own individuality…and either way, the experience is amazing, exciting and meaningful.
We are all friends here and our “spirit of good sportsmanship” always excels whether your team wins or not! A symbolic campfire to “end” the competition is a part of our River Reflections along the riverbank after the banquet. Mrs. Susan gives you a parting message of inspiration …only after a “cabin wish” is presented by each cabin. The other events of the evening are also traditions here that are “meaningful, forever-memories” that are identical to the “way it was when I was a camper here” no matter what year you camped on this campus!
