Hey there, Julie (pictured above, far left) reporting here from the Camplified road crew! The Camplified 2010 tour ended just over a month ago, and I got to thinking… thought I would share a couple of my favorite memories from this summer at camp!
One of my favorite activities to help out with was the Juicy Juice Relay Race. I spent a lot of time at the Juicy Juice tent overseeing the relay races and applying fake tattoos for the campers. Some kids had Juicy Juice-can tattoos covering their legs, arms and even their faces! They were all so excited to try the new all-natural Sparkling Fruit Juice, available in berry, apple and orange flavors. I never knew that a healthy fruit juice could get kids so pumped up! Hmmm… maybe the kids don’t realize that it’s healthy… shhhh, we’ll keep that one a secret!
While on tour, I also met so many awesome kids that I will never forget! On our first day, while the bands and crew ate lunch at Golden Slipper Camp in Pennsylvania, the girls stood up on their chairs and yelled cute little cheers that they had made up just for Camplified and our very own Thomas Fiss! They were so loud and excited — it was a lot of fun to see how psyched the kids were for us to be there. Talk about a great way to kick off the tour! Thanks Golden Slipper, as well as all the camps that followed for making us feel so welcome!
I already miss all the excitement, live music and fun times, but I will always remember how much fun was had on the 2010 Camplified tour!

Greetings from Long Island, NY! The 2010 summer may be coming to an official end, and fall is certainly upon us, but memories from the camp season will stay with us forever. Autumn is certainly a great time to reflect on the memorable moments that made this summer great! I should probably introduce myself, my name is Scott Rosenbluth, and I am one of the Directors at Camp Echo and the CEO at Camp Craze. Essentially, summer camp is my life, and I love waking up everyday to go to work FOR YOU, the campers!
I wanted to pop into the Camplified blog and tell you about one of my favorite memories from this past camp season. On July 29, 2010, the Camplified Tour rolled through the Echo gates in Bloomingburg, NY, and delivered an incredible afternoon of great music, entertainment, and a unique experience that is very rarely seen so up close and personal — especially at a SUMMER CAMP! Throughout the day, our campers and staff enjoyed interactive activities while hanging out with members of the Camplified crew and bands… How cool is that!? After a quick afternoon snack and a photo shoot with Thomas Fiss, we brought the entire camp to our Cabin Field where Highbench, Six Volt, Cody Simpson and Thomas Fiss rocked the house (well, field, but you get the point) on our stage overlooking the lake. Seeing our campers and staff rock out to Cody Simpson was something I will never forget, and if that vision didn’t do it, hearing “iYiYi” in the Dining Hall everyday, twice a day, certainly did!
Speak of Dining Hall, that’s where we went next so campers could attend the Meet & Greet with all of the bands, take some photos, get autographs, and walk away with some pretty neat stuff. It was the perfect end to another great Camp Echo day.
I have always loved the Camplified concept and am truly excited about the big 10th year! I need to send a really big shout out to Aimee and her crew who did an unbelievable job for us! Thank you for helping to make memorable moments for us this summer. I am sure you will be hearing from me again at some point down the road right here on the Camplified blog!
Signing Off For Now,
Scott
