Start Your Engines!!

Well yesterday we broke from our traditional style of dinner, and instead, in honor of our night activity Timbers 500, we had a tailgate!



I know everyone enjoyed the pizza and the music and games at dinner!




Then after dinner, we raced our cabin racecars that we had been building throughout the week. We saw some awesome entrants to the race like the pink princesses from Aspen...



And the lightning fast racers from Pine cabin...



It sure is great to have Matt back in camp again. And speaking of Matt, I'd like to take this opportunity to invite everyone to the 2nd annual Concert For Camp that Matt is helping organize. It is a fundraising concert on August 25th at Camp Timbers, with all the proceeds going to camp! Stay tuned to www.concertforcamp.org for more information. Today's our last full day and I'm sure we will make the most of it...

Feeling hot, hot, hot!

Well yesterday was hotter than I can remember it being all summer. And today is supposed to be hotter! But camp cooled off and beat the heat by heading down to the waterfront.



Some people had a blast digging in the sand...



And other folks got their kicks by catchin' some fish!



After dinner and after fourth activity period, we had a birthday party to celebrate Camp Timbers' 40th birthday! The party featured sand castle contests...



And a pin the mustache on the clown game!



We then, as is customary when someone has a birthday at camp, had the Order of the Oar, and paddled our camp director Steve Meyer 40 times!



It was a great birthday party. Today's Timbers 500 should be an absolute blast as well!

p.s. I have been severely negligent in not mentioning the fantastic work that Leslie Tausch did in painting Aspen cabin, and both the boys and girls there greatly appreciate the work and all of camp enjoys looking at the beautiful mural!
