Share Your Photos...

Okay, here's the link to a website called "picasa" where we can all download, upload, and order prints of photos taken at camp jabberwocky:

http://picasaweb.google.com/Jabberwocky07

If you go to this link you will see albums containing larger file versions of many of the photos you've seen on this blog, plus some new ones, all of which you can download onto your computer or you can order prints to be sent to your home. With just a little work you can also create your own picasa albums (click here to do so) and then we can link to them on our "favorites" section thereby allowing us all to create one big lovely photo-sharing community. Once you have uploaded your photos to picasa or some other similar type of site (Shutterfly, Kodak, Flickr...) please leave a comment on this blog entry with the link so that we can know about it. Hopefully this will work...let's get connected guys!


And if you go to the link above you can order prints of the great camp photo you see here (click on it to see larger version). Too bad we waited until the last day to take the picture since many of our friends had already left town, but still, it's a fun shot. Thanks again for an amazing summer everyone...


August Session has Begun!

Good-Bye! But not for long...


Well, it was a truly fantastic summer here at Jabberwocky in July. So many memories! The campers are all home safely now and we managed to get everyone off the ferry this time without any injuries. Already we are all missing eachother but through the magic of our winter follies program we can have a few get togethers before next summer. Please keep checking in with this blog for periodic updates on things going on. We'll post a link to a photo sharing site very soon so that everyone can upload and download eachother's pictures. No dirty pictures please! Unless they are good ones.


Here's some pics from the last few days at camp. First off was our last day of horseback riding. Big thanks to Vickie Thurber and the crew over there who made it all so much fun.


On our final full day of camp the kind folks at The Art Cliff Diner invited us all over for a brunch on the house! We packed the place! Some counselors served as waiters and we all pigged out on french toast and blueberry pancakes. What a fine way to end the summer. Thanks Gina and Billy!










The last morning of camp is always a little sad, but we said our good-byes and promised to keep in touch. Here's those crazy Momeraths boys at the last breakfast.


Here's the counselors doing a dance for the folks on the on the upper deck of the ferry before it pulled away.


Afterwards the remaining counselors went went back to camp, did laundry, cleaned up, and then finally hit the beach where they fell asleep for hours and hours...


Elsie says, "Bye everyone! Next year I'll be walkin'..."

Thanks to everyone involved with July Camp '07. We did it! It was wonderful to see so many great transformations take place over just the course of a few weeks. The counselors taught the campers, and the campers taught the counselors. As Sue Harrington would say, "That's a two-way street!" See you next summer!

The Play!


We'll post some more pictures shortly, but here's what we've got right now. The show was so much fun and we played to packed houses both nights. It felt so great to see the crowd spilling out onto the back porch and hear them clapping along to the songs. Thanks for coming!

For Those About to Boch


Don't forget...THE FINAL SHOW OF PLAY IS TONITE- Tuesday! C'mon down to the camp and see it! You'll love or or your money back!


The first show last night was most excellent. The studio was packed to the gills with the audience spilling out the windows and onto the porch. The front rows of mats were filled with kids and we love being a show for all ages. Everyone cheered a lot and most of folks even stayed until the end. It was a lot of fun and we're looking forward to doing it all again this evening.


We're still waiting for the play pictures so here's some picture from our trip to the Boch family home for the annual picnic. Thanks you Barbara and Ernie Jr. It was awesome, as always!

Tabernacle nights

Well, first of all, THE PLAY IS TONIGHT! MONDAY NIGHT! 7:30 pm! COME SEE IT! It's also on Tues night. Here's some pictures from rehearsal:


Last night we all went to see David Crohan play piano at the tabernacle in Oak Bluffs. Hellcat gave us a stern talking to before we left about how this music was not going to have any drums and we'd have to stay quiet and seated throughout the show. "You're not going to get up and do any of those silly jigs," she warned us.





We were very tempted to rush the stage after that lecture. As it was Hellcat spent much of the concert telling us to "hush up", but she would have been quite surprise to see us doing silly jigs up there for all to see. Mr. Crohan said he was glad to see Camp Jabberwocky in attendance and we all cheered loudly at that.


We spent much of today putting the final touches on our production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We saw Ms. Patricia Neal this afternoon and she said she was coming tomorrow so that ought to be interesting. Not only is she an academy award winner, she was married to Rohald Dahl, the author of the book. Hopefully no one will be too offended by the liberties we have taken. Silly jigs indeed!
