Busy Busy Busy!!

We've been BUSY here at Paivika! Activities are in full swing and the energy is up! Campers have been going non stop since they arrived! Here's a few pictures of whats been going on...

Sports and Rec had a rousing afternoon of kick ball...

A dance group came up and did a special presentation for us...

Camper Mark twirled his sister, Counselor Jill, around on the dance floor...

and last night we were visited by Carlos Santana, the Jonas Brothers, Brett Michaels, and Elvis at our Mr.Paivika competition. Congratulations to Elvis who was our winner!!

The start of Session 7!

Session 7 opened with a flag raising before our Casino Carnival!

Campers and counselors competed in some friendly games of corn shucking...

A water balloon toss and a "pie" eating contest for the counselors...

and after the cabin games, campers were able to play casino games, get their faces painted nd enjoy some snow cones and cotton candy!

Yesterday we were joined by our " Paivika Champions"  in celebration of the 1st Annual Campership Campaign. The Paivika Champions are a group of Paivika Alimni back from the 50's and 60's helping to raise money to send campers to camp through our Campership program.

Thank you Champions for all you do!

And finally at campfire we got to meet all of our amazing campers for the week!

It's a little late, but good bye Session 6!

Session 6 ended with an amazing performance at closing campfire from our guys and girls group performing a dance they learned throughout the week in Fine Arts (to see those photos check out our photo section. )

T'was a busy day in the mountain!

Yesterday was a fun and exciting day! Cabins competed in color wars yesterday! Groups were given different color bandanas and a list iof tasks and clues to solve throughout the day. At the end of the day there was a tie between Cabins 5C and 1B!

Cabin 2A practiced their song and decorated their scenery for their performance of "Make a Man out of You" from Mulan.

The girls of 5C spent the morning in Nature learning about different animals and even got to hold a dove!

The counselors haven't quite gotten the technique yet...

And Cabin 1 played water volleyball!

Last night campers and staff had a great time at our Pirate themed dance!

Session 6 is amazing!

Hi everyone. Today was amazing! We kicked it off with our regular fantastic activities, then we had an all camp swim followed by a talent show!

Thanks everyone!

Session 6 Day 1

When the campers arrived on Sunday things went into full blast! We had many different Rotarian groups join us in the fun and helped run the whole show! We kicked it off with a flag ceremony, switched to relay races and then finished with carnival games that included fishing for prizes, a dunk tank, bottle toss, pinata, and so much more.

Thanks for reading! Make sure to check out the photos section for ALL our pictures!

Goodbye Session 5!

Here is what we missed at Paivika... we had closing campfire where cabin groups got up and performed a dance they learned in Fine Arts throughout the week. Campers shared their pinecone wishes and Cabin 2B won clean cabin!

Campers from Session 5A and 5C left yesterday morning.

Staff have a few days off to relax and catch up on some much needed sleep and then we bring on the children!
