We wrapped up the last few days of Term 3 with a series of ceremonial and traditional events all CBS campers look forward to every summer.
First came Cabin Hangout Night, where each set of cabin counselors creates a unique experience specifically for their cabin. Campers spend dedicated time together with their fellow bunkmates and counselors on one of the last night’s of the term, solidifying their friendships and reflecting on the wonderful memories they have made together over the past few weeks.
Then, after an exhilarating day of Team Competition for the Amazing Race, all of camp joined together to celebrate Rodeo Round Up on our final eve of camp. Each term, there are whispers about who is going to take who to Rodeo Round Up. Some campers ask a date, and some choose to go stag with their fellow cabin mates. Either way, this evening of line dancing under the stars at our central barn has the most lovely, wholesome vibe to it. The night feels a little bittersweet – one moment a country ballad like “Heroes & Friends” has you feeling teary about camp ending, and the next moment Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” comes on and you find yourself joyfully screaming the lyrics at the top of your lungs! The night ends with a ceremonious walk back to the cabin with fireworks to light the way, allowing campers to reflect on all of their special memories from the past three weeks. We have had the most special term, and we cannot wait to have our Term 3 campers back next summer!
