From Matt and Mike
Fun in the sun!
Time flies when you are having fun . . .
We had another great week! Camp barreled
along and the kids had a great time swimming,
playing, painting, tie dying, Zoom Flooming and
everything else!
And also—Lower Camp loved Spirit Week, the 2nd year CITs went to Hershey Park,
we had an awesome mini campout for upper camp, the Busy Bees made delicious
concoctions at cooking and, all around camp, you could see and hear bunks
practicing their bunk shows.
We have a ton going on in the next few weeks—Lower Camp bunk shows, Upper
Camp bunk shows, Halloween in July, Bring-A-Friend Days, the 2nd Annual and
Extremely Beloved All Camp Gaga Tournament—plus all of our awesome, regularly
scheduled program—art, sports, swimming, gymnastics, nature, rock wall and much,
much more! Join us!

BUNK NEWS The Jubilant Jaguars By Nate Frankel
After only two weeks, it has become clear that the Jaguars are one of the best bunks in all of camp. It doesn’t matter what activity we are at or what sport we are playing, everybody always gives 100%. Hunter and Ben had fantastic catches which helped the Hilltopians to a league win in football. Jake is leading the bunk in wiffle ball home runs while Jared is looking like Jimmy Rollins at shortstop in softball. At nature Luke caught “The Bass” while Cole drained 3’s at basketball. James and Troy are some of the best all-around athletes in all of camp. CJ led his leagues team to victory with a stellar performance in softball. Aiden and Mikey set the record for the highest jump ever recorded on the jumper. With camp just starting, it won’t be long before the Jaguars take over as one of Briarwood’s most dominant bunks. With our great senior counselor Brandon Lloyd and excellent Super CIT CJ, it’s going to be an historic summer.
Growing up at Briarwood is something so special. We began as three year old Crickets and we are staff now! From meeting new friends to gaining life lessons and experiencing new things, Briarwood has been a forever home to us. When you’re just starting out at Briarwood, the wonder of it all may feel a bit overwhelming at first, but as time goes on, a comforting familiarity sets in. We know just how quickly the people at Briarwood become family. We still remember our favorite activities from when we were campers, and now that we are staff, seeing our own campers have just as much fun as we did is so amazing. Whether it’s learning your bunk show or going down the zip line for the first time, there is always something new to gain from coming to Briarwood. Without a doubt, Briarwood will always have a special place in our hearts.

We return with profiles of more senior staff members at Briarwood Day Camp
KIRA CRAIN joins the Briarwood family as a senior counselor at Sports. Kira is a student at Penn State. Her favorite food is sushi
and if she were an animal she would be a koala. People would be surprised to learn that Kira once shadowed a surgeon in
Budapest, Hungary.
SORELLE SAX is celebrating her 11th summer at Briarwood Day Camp. Sorelle, a first year senior counselor of the CITs, is a student
at Penn State during the off season. Sorelle’s favorite thing about Briarwood is all of the friendships she has made thought the
years. Her favorite movies are the Parent Trap and A Star is Born.
RHYHEEM POWELL is a first year Super Utility Professional for Every Responsibility. Ryheem is a graduate of Susquehanna
University, during the off season he plays rugby. If Ryheem could travel anywhere he would go to South Africa. People would be
surprised to learn that Ryheem participated in synchronized swimming...twice!
Fabulous Flamingos and Orioles By Georgia Gobora & Hallie Newman
Wow! We can’t believe week 3 is already finished! The first grade girls consist of two awesome
bunks, the Flamingos and the Orioles. We have so much fun together! The first grade girls are
loving their time at Briarwood together.
We have been busy dancing out hearts out
in preparation for our bunk shows next
week in addition to ziplining down the rock
wall, sliding down the zoom floom and
flipping in gymnastics. On top of that...the
girls have caught tons of fish, hit a ton of
holes in one and scored so many goals at
soccer, we lost count! At swim, the first
grade girls are flipping their fins and
splashing up a storm in the pool. We are
looking forward to an amazing rest of the
summer, full of laughter and smiles with
this great group of girls!
