Good news for those of you who like having fun while seated, Camp Louise is getting a giant three-headed addition to its pool. If this slide doesn't get you excited about the summer, we don't know what will. Just look at it–it's massive. No offense to water polo, but the slide makes that net look like as much fun as a dentist appointment. As long as you use common sense, the water slide is going to be awesome. So go practice sliding poses and get ready to show off.

You may have heard that some of our adventurous counselors will be going to Israel for the first time this summer (don't worry, they're still coming to Airy & Louise!). They're going on the Birthright Israel program that sends young adults on a trip to Israel (This is a special program for those who have never been and are working at a Jewish Summer camp this summer and they will meet the Israeli staff member who will be coming to Airy & Louise!).
14 of our terrific counselors will be participating making this the biggest group attending from one camp! That's why Airy & Louise are the best! They'll left for Israel on May 27th and will return on June 6th.
Before they headed out 4 of them decided to write about their deepest thoughts about how exciting their trip will be and what they think it will be like in Israel. 4 Counselors, from both Airy & Louise, wrote detailed journal entries and the Baltimore Jewish Times asked us if they could post up their entries online!
Click HERE to go to the JT's Web site to read all four journals about their pre-trip thoughts and expectations. When our globetrotting counselors return from their wonderful trip they'll write one more journal entry that will talk about what their experiences were like (how the people interact with them, differences in customs, food, music, culture, architecture etc.)
We wish all of our counselors a very fun, informative, life changing and safe trip to Israel. They'll experience so much in just a short amount of time. The best part is when the whole group returns to Airy & Louise this summer, they'll have tons of great stories to tell all of you! So cool!

Get your pipes warmed up and slap on your dancing shoes! This summer we're going to be performing Disney's "High School Musical!" Brought to you by the folks at the Camp Airy Drama Department! If you haven't heard about this musical it's based on a really popular Disney Channel production. Rave Reviews are predicted as the Airy Guys and Louise Girls are sure to put on a musical production the likes of which Airy hasn't seen before. It will be the smash of the summer.
If you're interested in becoming a part of the play we will hold auditions at both Airy & Louise on June 26th. Only 4 weekers can audition as it takes almost three full weeks to pull off this high-energy musical extravaganza. High School Musical will be performed at Camp Airy - Stay tuned to these Blogs because it won't be too long before we announce Louise's production for the first four weeks. And break a leg!
