Thurday!

We had our first riding lesson on Thursday!  It was a lot of fun!  Sorry these weren't up yesterday!  Enjoy!

Rainy Wednesday

Well it rained on and off all day- but that never stops Jabberwocky from making their way around Martha's Vineyard.  The day started off with a camp-wide kickball game.  The Battle of the Sexes was a very evenly matched battle- but the girls triumphed in the end (though some believe the men did not get their last ups).  A rematch may be in order on that one. Pictures to come on that.

After lunch we all headed down to Oak Bluffs to do some shopping, get ice-cream, and ride the Flying Horses. 

 David finally made it to camp today!!  We were all excited to see him.  He won 1000 tickets at the game room!!  What an awesome first day!

 Walking around the campgrounds in OB

 Pete got the brass ring!

 This was where Jabberwocky originated!

Van ride home- made it just in time!  It rained the rest of the day!

We had dinner with Hellcat- camp's founder, and a lot of other fun guests.  We ate some amazing food, prepared with love by our cook Cynthia and her friends.   After that we watched a movie!  Nice way to end a rainy day!

Summer Solstice!!

 Claire led a bug collecting class... unfortunately everyone was too scared to actually pick up the bugs... you're welcome bugs.

 Failed attempts at bug catching

 Myles was the keeper of the habitat!

 We made a group nature drawing in art!

Counselor head-butting

 Ryno made some great pottery today!  Last day of being 29!

Yoga with Peter- he's been practicing for this moment all year

 I've barely seen Bubba using his chair this summer.  He's been awesome walking all over the place.  We are all so proud of you Bubba!!  Keep it up!!

 Tonight we celebrated the Summer Solstice with some old and new island friends.  We listened to poetry, heard some awesome music, and danced to Rick and his friends' awesome drumming.  We packed dinner so we could stay as long as possible!

 Mike got the poetic itch and did an impromptu reading for everyone- it was interesting!

Fire dancer at the end of the night.  A few counselors and campers stayed to watch- and it was definitely worth the wait!  

So as you can see, it was a busy day at Jabberwocky!  Never a dull moment- and that's how we like it!   Check back tomorrow!

Camp Jabberwocky 2011 Begins!!

Camp Jabberwocky is finally complete!  Counselors got on an early boat to meet campers in Woods Hole. 

 Everyone was excited for Camp to finally begin.  Dave couldn't even think straight.

Amulya couldn't stop smiling thinking about being reunited once again!

 Welcome home everyone.  The island isn't the same without camp!!!

 Everyone waiting for the boat in Woods Hole!!  It's not even possible to describe how amazing the feeling is when you get to experience this moment :)

 Lunch time at Jabberwocky!  Our lunch makers make delightful sandwiches!

 Anxiously awaiting beach time!  We went!  I just forgot my camera... I'll get better I promise!!

 Hanging out on the main porch

Awesome first day at camp!  Great weather and great company.  Couldn't ask for anything better!!

Hey guys!  It's almost time for another action packed, monumental, stupendous, magnificent, delightful- and not to mention delicious, adventure at Camp Jabberwocky.  Your counselors and directors have been busting their badonk-a-donks for a few days now- cleaning cabins, planting, sweeping, training etc.  Right now we're putting the finishing touches on everything, and getting ready for YOU to get here!  We can't wait to see you all!!

Kevin was so excited to see you all- he cut off all his hair in anticipation!

Mike has finally been reunited with his long lost love...

Making signs for everyone's stuff!
