THE NABBY WEEKLY • JULY 24, 2015

DADDY DODGEBALL!!!

Ok Dads...you all loved visiting camp this past week and wanted to know when the parents could come to camp as campers. Well, here’s

your chance!  Tuesday, July 28th at 7PM is our

annual Daddy Dodgeball event!  You all have

the weekend to stretch, tone and get your

throwing arm in shape - it’s on!!!  We have

the event in our Sr. basketball/hockey facility

as we always have a great turnout of Dads

wanting to go back to being campers once

again.  Come join us for an evening of fun,

laughter and yes, a little Dodgeball! Looking

forward to seeing you there!!!

AERIAL ADVENTURES!

We are having a great summer

at Aerial Adventure.  Campers

can test their skills on the rock

wall or the lower obstacle course.

They can also  cruise down the

zip line to shoot a basket or

play in the tree house. This year

we have added a tree climb

where climbers can scale up to

35 feet!  The Aerial Adventure

staff, Meryl, Juliana, Emma, Nick,

Shane, Ron and Erin, all enjoy

watching the campers set new

goals and reach them!

TULANE NEWS!

The first half of camp has flown by for the boys of

Tulane!  Even though we’ve had some extremely hot

days, the boys have managed to stay positive and

enthusiastic about every game they play.  Each day,

the boys improve at tennis and get great satisfaction

in beating their counselors, Zack and Jake, in three

point competitions in basketball!  The best part of the

summer has been watching the sportsmanship the kids

have shown one another in everything that they do.  We

are all looking forward to an even better second half of

camp (if that’s possible!) and are excited to continue to

learn new games and make new friends.

WACKY SNACKY WEDNESDAY

Something very

fishy was going

on in the Nabby

kitchen this

week!  Wacky

Snacky

Wednesday

was swimming

with “porpoises”

in grape

bubbles.  The

campers loved

this healthy and

adorable snack!

deliberation, here they are:

ALOHA FROM NABBY!

Tuesday was Luau Day and flowers, hula dancers and hula

hoops were everywhere on campus!

BATES NEWS!

Counselors Morgan, Michaela and Mary Kate report

on the Bates group...

The Bates girls came up with the name “Battling

Bates” since we are battling our goals this summer!

We had so much fun coming up with our “All About

the Bates” song and dance for spirit week! With this

hot summer, one of our favorite games is duck duck

splash and swimming in the pool.

The Bates girls’ favorite activities are gaga,

dodgeball, nature, and of course playing on the

imagination playground. This summer is exciting

because we get to choose different interest periods

each week!

They have loved getting the chance to learn archery

this year and next week, we’re looking forward to the

Junior Camp Olympics! We had fun learning how to

dribble and pass during basketball this summer. We

also love going to Aerial adventure to climb the rock

wall and ride the zip line.

PREDATOR AND PREY!

This Wednesday’s EPIC event was the very popular

Predator and Prey!  The Red and White frog, snake

and insect teams battled to a very close and exciting

finish with the White snakes besting the White frogs

by a narrow 70 to 60 victory.  Halfway through the

summer color war, the Red team now leads the

White team 2300 to 2200!

Steph Frolo gets ready for her second year as the “Hawk”.

Second place White frog team, led by Zack from Tulane.

First place White snake team, led by Marisa from Radcliffe.

CUBS NEWS!

One of the Cubs favorite activities is instructional swim,

where they are learning to float, kick and put their

faces in the water to blow bubbles.  They also love free

swim, especially when the swim instructors join in and

play with them!  The Cubs really love “Going on a Bear

Hunt” in music and they always want to sing the song

twice. They are all very outgoing in Nature and have all

touched or held the variety of animals at Nabby. The

Cubs always look forward to Art & Crafts and can’t

wait to bring their projects home to show their family

members.

The Cubs had a great time having Halloween in the

summer last week and wondered “why are we trick

or treating in the light?”.  They were the envy of the

entire camp - they looked so cute in their costumes!  

During Spirit Week the Cubs enjoyed being on stage

and singing their song “We are Cubs at Camp Nabby,

Camp Nabby,

Camp Nabby, We

are Cubs at Camp

Nabby and we have

lots of fun!” They

are now practicing

their song for the

musical.  Counselors

Jocelyn, Tina, Emily

and Richie are

looking forward to

the second half of

the summer with the

adorable Cubs!

WELLS NEWS!

The Whippin Wells have been having a great summer

so far! With head counselor Eliza and assistants Sarah

and Christina, there’s always loud singing and lots of

dancing. We loved performing and getting the “glitter

award” during spirit week and you can still catch us

doing our cheer from day to day. The girls have been

having a great time learning how to bump, set, and

spike for volleyball; while also getting so good at soccer

that they are starting to train for the next U.S. Women’s

soccer team tryouts! Each girl has made her very own

Wishing Well

where they

write down and

collect their

favorite part

of everyday!

We are looking

forward to

many more

weeks of spud,

freeze dance,

and eventually

our amazing

performance

as the cutest

Britney Spears

protégés in the

camp show!

Eliza Ginsberg of Wells as a Nabby camper in 2001 and

a Nabby Head Counselor now!  Oh, and the snake is the

same snake in both photos!
