LAKEVIEW NEWS Summer 2016 Issue 6 August 5
SUPER DUPER WEEK SIX! Week Six was amazing…we got off to a fun start with Mismatch Day on Monday, and then
everyone enjoyed Halloween Day – a LakeView tradition where campers and staff dress in
costume! Wednesday was orange-tastic, where we all wore the color of the day (and our Teens
spent the day in New York enjoying a performance of School of Rock on Broadway!). Staff
showed their school pride (and campers wore their favorites) on Thursday for College Day.
Friday was one of our favorite days of the summer – our DJ Pool Party when we rock it out in the
pool, and Swim For a Cure! Have a great weekend, and we’ll see you back here for Tropical Day
on Monday (a BLUE day).

2016 LAPS FOR LEUKEMIA
Swim For a Cure!
LakeView is proud to have once again participated in Laps for Leukemia, a fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Our campers did laps in the pool during their instructional swim on Friday. Thank you to our camp families for your generous donations. If you haven’t had a chance to donate and would like to, please visit
http://events.lls.org/pages/nj/lakeviewcamp. If you ordered a Swim For a Cure t-shirt (designed by LakeView Teen campers and staff!), it will be sent home with your camper before the end of the summer!

Featured Divisions 1st and 2nd Grade Girls
First Grade Girls (G1A Pineapples, G1B Kiwis and G1C Strawberries) are having a super fun summer
with Division Leader Tiffany and counselors Emily, Liz, Callie, Saskia, Morgan and Kelsey! These fun,
kind and polite girls include each other in everything, and their favorite activities are Bungee Trampoline,
Karate and Swim!
Lindsay’s Second Grade Girls love LakeView in their “Peace, Love, Camp” groovy bunk this summer!
They especially love Dance, Lanyard/Jewelry and Outdoor Adventure; they’re energetic, bubbly and smile
with everything they do with their counselors Sydney, Emily, Shelby, Kim, Angela, Shawn, Nariman and
Brianna.

Happy Birthday This Week’s Featured
International is Katherine, who
joins us from Southampton,
England for her first summer at
LakeView!
Katherine is one of our
Pioneering Specialists, where
she spends her time
introducing campers to our
resident horse Reese (back for
a second summer!), and the
goats Cheese and Cracker.
She likes the happy
atmosphere at camp, and
says that it seems that
everyone sings and dances all
the time! Katherine also loves
the food here in the U.S. –
especially the desserts!
Katherine plans to travel here
in the U.S. with the other
LakeView international staff,
and plans to work in animal
conservation when she returns
home to England!
Performing Arts Overnight Week LakeView Seniors had the opportunity to spend the week (including the nights!) here at camp, enjoying singing, dancing and acting! Once camp was over each afternoon, campers worked on monologues and rehearsed a group number from Hairspray, which they performed at morning meeting on Friday. The campers went into New York on Thursday night to see Matilda on Broadway, and enjoyed lip sync battles and more before going to sleep each night!
