Last month we celebrated our '6' TLCs! TLCs from 1976, 1986, 1996, 2006, and 2016 returned to Tawingo to reconnect with each other and Camp. It was a beautiful weekend of swimming on the dock, paddling on Lake Vernon, hikes up to the top of Eagle Mountain, announcements, sing songs, and campfires! Thanks to all of the folks who made the trip - some coming from the other side of the country! We loved seeing you again, spending time with you, and meeting your families. Mark your calendars for the last weekend in September, 2036...but we hope to see you before then!

Saying goodbye is hard.

It is even harder when it's said to someone you care about, someone who you don't want to leave...

Harder still when you know you won't see them, again, for a long time...in this case, close to a year.

When you love what you do...and love with whom and for whom you do it and get to share it...
Then what makes goodbyes hardest of all is when all of the above is true AND you are saying it to your final group of campers for the summer...knowing no more will come now for 10 months.

To our dear 3rd Session campers: thank you for choosing to spend the last part of your summer vacation with us at Tawingo...and for making it so hard to say "goodbye" to you this past Monday. The only consolation for us - other than having had the good fortune of spending two incredible weeks with you in the first place, is knowing we'll get to do it all again in 2027.
See!
YOU!
Then!

There are, admittedly, a few times when we wish parents could have a peek into the things their campers do and say while they are here.

Banquet is one of those things.
To bear witness to:
the beautiful words of a grace spoken by a 2026 TLC;
the standing ovation that the campers and staff spontaneously lavish upon our dear and very talented Kitchen team.
the emotionally stirring words of our two first-year and two veteran campers as they give what we call, "memory" speeches.
the singing that rings from the rafters of Alouettsky and the Banquet Sing Song.
the tears shed as campers linger before heading to their final campfire.
Every bit of the Banquet Program is touched by a smidge of magic...the magic of moments that become the memories of Camp.

And so parents (and others!), here is a wee peek into our 3rd and final Banquet of the Summer.

Everything is AWESOME!

So began (and ended) Tawingo's 3rd Session Musical: The Lego Musical!

And it was AWESOME.
Brick by brick, block by block, scene by scene, the show was super fun, funny, and fantastically performed...something we didn't want to "Lego" of when the curtain finally fell!

Congratulations to the cast and crew who proved that each of us is special and capable of so much more than we may know...

Grabbing a ball, tossing a ball, catching a ball and ultimately, having a BALL, the entirety of Lakeside participated in the 2nd Annual "Lakeside Bowl" last evening - under the Thursday Night Lights of the Sportsfield!

The "Lakeside Bowl":
The Game: a mix of Handball and "Sticks"
The Teams: even cabins = the Cliffside Ravens ; odd cabins = the Vernon Whitecaps
Other roles:
Commentators - play-by-play and colour commentary and player interviews
Scouts - roamed the field with clipboards offering players a "signing bonus" of 5 sticks
Turf Monsters - roamed the field tagging players and having them complete a physio task before resuming play (e.g., stretching)
Referees - blew whistles and threw yellow flags for any fun infraction
'Water Boys' - squirted water into the mouths of thirsty players!
Once the final whistle blew, touchdowns were tabulated, sticks were counted, a victor was crowned, arctic boys of water were dumped on coaches, handshakes happened, and bottles of gingerale were shaken (not stirred) and sprayed in celebration of great game play and sportsmanship!

The post-game Lakeside poll showed the Bowl, on the whole, surpassed every goal and was good for the soul!

🎶"Mud, mud, glorious mud;
Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood..."🎵

And for making for a mud-tastic day of memories for Pine Ridge...memories that will really 'stick'!

To prove they were worthy of being chosen as the next contestants on SURVIVOR, Pine Ridge campers chugged through the mud of several challenges (Tug-O-War, Creek Crawl, Duck Pond Trudge, Mud Sticks, Camouflage, and more) besting each one, of course!

Yes, it was a flood of mud, a day of clay, with no way to skirt the dirt! And Pine Ridge campers LOVED every thick, slick, stick of it!
