News Flash: The Cupcakes

By Jodi, Emily and Chelsea

RANDOLPH, NJ - We can't believe the summer is almost over.  The Cupcakes have been having so much fun at camp, keeping really busy and making so many new friends!

We've been staying cool with extra swims and we even went into the big pool!  People always know when we're nearby because you can hear us singing and cheering!  We had an awesome time at Color War, too!

Chocolate mousse in cooking...yum!!  We loved playing Capture the Flag and Bulldozers and Cranes.  We also have lots of fun at the challenge course.  The girls have been climbing on the high course and flying on the big zip line!

We're sad to see the summer come to an end, but we're looking forward to summer 2010!

News Flash: Stonybrook Cooking Beats the Heat

RANDOLPH, NJ - While the temperature rose this week, we shut off the magic oven and turned to the freezer.  First, we made frozen s'mores bars and ice cream sandwich cakes.  Then, we moved on to chocolate and strawberry mousse topped off with some delicious whipped cream.  Today, we made pudding cups, complete with oreos, nilla wafers and marshmallows!  No amount of heat can possible slow us down at cooking!

News Flash: Color War, Fake Break

By Emma F., Rachael G. and Sabrina K.

RANDOLPH, NJ - For weeks, Stonybrook campers have been cheering and hoping for the start of the annual summer ritual of Color War! Friday, during lunch, Matt B. led songs with the campers while all of the lifeguards snuck up to the picnic grove and started screaming with cheers and blue and white streamers.

From their face and body paint to the banner they brought, everyone though it was Color War and everyone became really excited! Suddenly, they held up a big sign that read, "FAKE OUT" and everyone was totally surprised. Campers and counselors are still cheering for the real Color War to begin!
