Village Banquet Time!
One developing tradition at CSL is to host a banquet towards the end of the session. Last night, Mohawk and Seneca held a Cabaret Ball down by the Waterfront. Everyone got dressed up for the evenings festivities. Staff waited on the campers, music played in the background and the meal ended with a dance party by the water. Simultaneously during the running of the Cabaret Ball, Tusc held its own final banquet in the back of the dining hall. It was an intimate and lovely affair. The Tusc staff gave paper plate awards and put together a beautiful slideshow which they presented to the campers. The Tusc campers surprised their staff with 416 letters – an individual letter written to each staff member, where campers wrote about their experience in Tusc this summer and thanked the staff for all of their hard work. The Tusc staff were deeply moved and the night ended with hugs, laughs and tears. As this summer is nearing a close, the entire camp community is reflecting on our experiences at CSL this summer. We have changed and grown as a result of being here together.
