We went big and then we went home- Week 9

Born to be Wild week had us testing the limits of our imaginations and endurance. Here is some of our wild ways-
- The Fear Factor Food Challenge pushed our Mohawks, Oneidas, Cayugas, and Senecas to their grossest limits. They were given a set of ingredidents and challenged to put together the grossest looking but best tasting concoction imaginable. Mr. Nick then took up the noble challenge of tasting each creation to determine which best meet the challenge. Oneida 4 won with a mixture that no one wanted to look at but quite a few ate.
- Our Best of What's Around continued to explore everything this area has to offer.
- Get on with the Show put on an awesome production of How to Eat like a Child!
- Easy as Pie continued their culinary feats including the best chicken parm that Ms. Trish has ever had! (As we have no evidence of all the other chicken parm that Ms. Trish has eaten in her life, this must be taken with a grain of salt. But everyone else agreed that it was pretty awesome.)
- Gimme Shelter set out for a most extereme adventure by day camp standards- a three night overnight as Camp Tohikanee in Quakertown where they enjoyed the low ropes course and tested their abilities to cook over a fire, even pizza. They even ventured up to the Delaware Water Gap for hiking and waterfalls. In their downtime, they also learned how to play the best game ever- Phase 10.When asked what they would change for next year-all responded that they wanted a longer overnight. . . So look forward to a four night overnight for Gimme Shelter next year!

Okay that's all that comes to mind right now but trust me, there's more. Keep posted for more updates as we cling to every bit of summer we can!
