It was Sparta vs Athens relived
as Pinecrest Adventures Camp went
back in time to the ancient Greek
Olympics. Visited by Zeus at our first
campfire, campers were introduced
to the warriors, gods and goddesses
who would lead them in the tasks
set for the days to come. The next
day, Zeus created the teams and the
games began. Together they met the
challenge of playing “Things in a Box
– Pinecrest Edition,” participated in
Pinecrest Idol, yelled their loudest for
the glory of winning Run and Scream
and went face first into chili bread
bowls for a no hands dinner. Whether
staff, leader-in-training or camper,
everyone contributed to make this
week an incredible success.
Sincere thanks to:
• the amazing staff who volunteered
their time to make camp a
reality—Paul, Charlie, Nick, Brittany,
Holly, Jake, AJ, Bret, Ashley,
Denise, Shane, Alex, Rob and Tyse
• Paul, Charlie and Nick for their
countless planning hours
• The 2010 Camp Committee (Kevin,
Lori, Keira, Mary Jane, Eric,
Paul, Nick, Charlie and Terri-Lee)
who began planning in October
for 2011
• Baxter, Bayer, NovoNordisk and
Pfizer whose continued support
of Pinecrest helps to ensure camp
is a reality each summer.
“I like this camp very much. I really liked the talent show and all of the
silly camp songs we learned. I was very excited to see all my friends
again. We had to wear our clothes backwards one night. It was really
fun. I liked when the Spartans and Athens teams had to eat pie with
no hands and had to use their mouths. We built sandcastles and it
was lots of fun. It was neat being interviewed for a commercial and
at the end of camp I got the “Movie Star” award. I am really excited
to go back next year again.” ~ Adryanna, age 9
