We had a great time in Peru, Massachusetts today with all the campers at Camp Danbee.  It was the first “resident” camp for this year’s tour and these girls set the bar higggghhhhh!  They were amazing all day – so full of energy and excitement they made the day fly by and each group of campers brought some new ideas and enthusiasm (and camp songs!) to each activity.  It was hard not to get pumped up with them!

I was working with the HP computers and Cartoon Network shorts today.  I had a slew of girls – ranging in ages from 7 to 12 (and even some counselors) who visited the station and took part in the day’s activities.  Even though you go through the games a few times every hour as each camper gears up to try something new, when each girl has such a positive response, it’s so easy to catch the spirit that Camp Danbee is famous for.

It’s pretty interesting to talk to the girls about the programs and hear what they think.  Some thoughts from the girls:

“I like Live Action Drama preview, the show looks funny.  I like how different the people look – especially the goth people.”   – Sage M. (9 years old)

“I watch Total Action Island with my little sister and I’m sure well watch Total Action Drama too.  I like the wacky challenges.” – Jaime R. (11 years old)

Between the video previewing the new show, the Jedi promo and the Andrew W. K. song – these girls had a great time with Computer Network.

I was also showing them some new tricks with the HP tablet computers.  Although the younger girls liked the transforming effect from the laptop to the tablet, it was the older girls that got really excited about using the machines:

“This computer is really cool.  I really want to get one of these.” – Kirsten J. (20 years old)

“I wanted a touch screen computer a few years ago but could find one so I got a Mac.  My birthday is Aug 7 and now that I’ve played with this one I know that this is what I’ll be getting.  The pen was really easy to use and I loved painting with it.”  Adina B. (11 years old)

It was a great day at the computer station.  The activities were a hit!  We all headed over to the concert later and tonight’s concert was a bonafide rock show.  We had Kicking Daisies, Loomis and the Lust, 2am Club and Lansdowne – these are really great bands!!  The kids and counselors loved it (and the Camplified staff did some serious gushing over the uber talented musicians!).

ROCK SHOW!!

It was a great day at Camp Danbee – the kids were all so happy to be there and the staff was a pleasure to work with.  Another super fun Camplified Day.
