Epic Birthday Party!

A centennial celebration comes around once in a lifetime, so what better way to acknowledge this than with an epic birthday party.  And that is just what we did last night!

We all wore our favorite camp swag and gathered in the gym as our favorite DJ Electra Entertainment pumped up the jam!  There were fun stations, like guess the number of Jibbitz in a jar and fill in a survey about what we should put in our time capsule.  We had a throwback snack – peppermint sticks in lemons (think old school Country Fair). There were many photo opps throughout the evening complete with props and fun 100 glasses!  We took some time to form a big 100 with all campers and staff involved – the pictures are amazing!

And what would a party be without a present – every camper got a Camp Louise headband…..and of course, cake.  A big thank you to Georgetown Cupcakes for donating tonight’s delicious dessert – a definite huge hit!

To close our night, we all learned and sang this song (see below) as a tribute to camp!  Go ahead, start singing – you got this!

Happy Birthday, Camp Louise – and here’s to another 100 years!

Happy Birthday, Camp Louise!

To the tune of Party in the USA:

I hopped out the car and closed the door

We’re back at camp again

Welcome to a place we can be sure

Everybody fits in

Walked up the hill saw my friends for the first time

Looked to my right and I see the Camp Louise sign

This is all so crazy, Louise is turning 100!

I’m so excited I’ve been having such a good time

At the pool or on the zip line

And then my counselors played my favorite tunes

And the Homegrown song was on

And a Folkdance song was on

And Alicia says, “Come on!!”

Chorus: So we put our hands up they’re playing our song

We know that camp is here to stay

Eating grilled cheese like yeah

Wearing our Crocs like yeah

So we put our hands up

100 years strong

And nothing can take that away

Yeaahhhh it’s a party at Camp Louise

Yeahhhh Happy Birthday Camp Louise!

CHORUS AGAIN
