Today Camplified visited the NJY Camp in Milford, PA.  We were welcomed into this massive camp – and their beautiful grounds – just after lunch.  Right away the campers were hard at work at mastering Rockband, visiting with our Yu-Gi-Oh! experts, playing with the Cartoon Network goodies and collecting their free Scholastic books.  It got pretty rowdy pretty quickly!

Rockband was set up in the gazebos in the park – which was great because although there were some dark rain clouds, the kids could play as long and as loud as they wanted.  This was one of the first camps with a lot of co-ed bands – the campers were so excited about playing that they didn’t want to pass up their turns to play in a band with only their friends – everyone jumped right in!

Down the trail Yu-Gi-Oh! and Cartoon Network were set up in the camp’s theatre.  At the Cartoon Network station the campers were able to play with the CN online game FusionFall.  There were a group of girls that were really excited – they mentioned that they play on onemorelevel.com and games123.com so the format of FusionFall was immediately appealing to them.  As they played the game, they got more and more into the tasks and levels that they wanted to conquer.  CN has kindly given us some postcards for the interested campers to redeem at CartoonNetwork.com and these girls were pumped when they received them!  A few more happy faces courtesy of FusionFall ……sometimes our jobs are so easy!

Also in the theatre, our Yu-Gi-Oh! experts were set up teaching kids about the games and even sharing some tips for the experienced campers.  There was a small crew of guys that brought their own cards and told us about the tournaments that they hold in their bunks – it was awesome!

some very intent, and happy Yu-Gi-Oh! fans

Next it was down to the amphitheater for the concert – tonight the NJY Camp hosted Kicking Daisies, the Duke Squad, and 2am Club.  It was a gorgeous night and the sound guys had arranged the system beautifully – it was quite the scene for the NJY Camp.  The bands were all in great moods and the crowd was really excited about each set – the mood was electric!

All in all, NJY Camp treated us incredibly well, and Camplified brought the rock, the free books (which were a huuuuge hit!), the Yu-Gi-Oh!, Cartoon Network – and so much more!  It was a very happy day in Milford, PA – I’m so happy to be a part of Camplified, who helped to make it happen!
