RunningWorks Cross Country Camp: Recreation at Camp Canadensis, 2007





Volleyball









There are two runs a day at RunningWorks but there is always time for an impromptu game of frisbee, cards, volleyball, ga ga, kickball or boating. And then there are several pools and the lake, as well as two special activities: our signature Trivia Night and the final night's Dance Social! And for those who want some "quiet time" for reading or just thinking, or just "hanging out" with new and old friends, that's available too.

. . . and then there's "Trivia Night," a joyously raucus and enthusiastic time, hysterically funny, when cabin groups team-up, dress with whatever is on hand to reflect a theme, and compete against other cabin groups for prizes. Check out the pictures and see if you can identify the winners!

And, finally, there's the Dance Social! On the last night, two hours of singing, dancing, and give-aways of Nike sports equipment! This year, campers received 15 pairs of Nike racing shoes and other merchandise. And, in a bizarre twist, several rash young campers challenged counselors John Richardson, Mike Kerrigan and Marc Pelerin to a "dance throwdown!" They might as well have challenged them to a mile race! After several series, the cheering and applause demonstrated that the campers needed to "practice, practice, practice!" Perhaps next year, campers?!
