Week One is Done....But Two Has Just Begun

Summer has begun, and camp has started off huge, with today only getting bigger.  We have had two amazing days of beautiful weather and fun activities for the campers, with today marking the first big group challenge of the summer.  Each group will compete to make the camp's best pizza in our "Pizza Top Chef" challenge, with an All-Star cast of staff and members of the Westborough community doing the judging.  Each week, groups will earn points for acheiving set goals and accomplishing team building challenges.  The team with the highest amount of points at the end of the week will earn the Group of the Week Status.  With Group of the Week Status comes the special benifit of carring around our camp mascot.

Enjoy some picture from our first week:

 On Thursday, all the groups took turns making their own variations of pizza with Mrs. Goodwin. All the campers got a chance to participate in helping their group win the pizza competition at the end of the day. Although there was only one group that would come up on top, all the pizzas were delicious, and all the campers enjoyed working with each other and cooking their own pizza. At the end of the Day five judges taste tested each pizza and gave every group a score from 1-5. Rob O'Conner's campers scored a perfect 25 points. Some staff members debated whether it was fair that group 5's pizza was still warm. However Rob and the campers insisted that their special spices willed them to victory! Overall the campers and staff members were very enthusiastic about the competition, and pizza always tastes better when it’s your creation!
