What is GAGA? The goal is to eliminate players by hitting a ball with an open hand or fist below the other players knees. Check out our Gaga pit near the hard courts!

After an 8 day hike, the CITs came back today!

As mentioned in a previous blog post, the CIT program entails a multiple day hike in the woods — but for the other half of the CIT group, they spend their time having an in-cabin experience as well as running the compost/waste stations at every meal (that’s 6 times a day!) for the entire camp. During session 2, the groups switch.

Frost Valley’s greatest resource available are our natural ones.  It is hard to go anywhere without taking notice of the beautiful landscape that Frost Valley sits in.  This afternoon 2 Forest cabins spent their afternoon hiking through the forest and experiencing one of the best local sites, High Falls.  It is a spot on camp that can cool you off on a hot day and provide a great memory of a beautiful afternoon.  This location has been visited by campers for years and will continue to be a staple for every camper!

 

Last night was dance night at Frost Valley YMCA.  Camp Wawayanda (Villages PokeyTotem, MiniMac, Susky, Forest, Lakota, Outpost) had a great time at their 80s Themed Dance.  Everyone was decked out with large hairdos and vibrant clothing.  Click below for a link to their gallery.

This afternoon some campers enjoyed a great and sunny afternoon through joining in on some classic Frost Valley games like “WHAAAAAA” and some new ones like “Kung Fu” brought to Frost Valley by means of New York City.  these games are great examples of activities where everyone is always involved and that competition is not the focus, but simple . 

Some campers also got to enjoy the process of caring for their skin in this relaxation based activity with materials such as yogurt, cornmeal, and cucumbers out in the field in front of Margetts Lodge.  All of them left with skin feeling silky, smooth, and not without a little leftover yogurt on their faces.
