Before the Parade

We're a little behind schedule over here but that's because the weather got good and we had a big parade to prepare for. The good weather meant we had to go to the beach. And the parade meant we had to get all our costumes and floats ready for the big Fourth of July celebration in Edgartown. Here's some picture of the the preparations. The parade itself was epic - we won "Grand Prize" for our "Under The Sea" themed extravaganza. But you'll have to wait till later for pictures and video of all that....


The entire camp was covered in cardboard, paint, hot glue and duct tape.








Matt L. walked into lunch and was greeted by a cheering crowd...


Everyone in the van fell asleep on the way back from horseback riding...But we're all caught up now. Sort of. Who has time for sleep anyway?

"Dear Mother Nature"

We've had a lot of rain here at Camp Jabberwocky so Paul Remy wrote the following letter to Mother Nature. Here's a picture of Paul typing:



Dear Mother Nature,

My friends and I at Camp Jabberwocky are fed up with the nasty weather you have been giving us. Our attire are mostly raincoats and other foul weather gear. We would love to put on our bathing suits so we can enjoy the beach. Please blow away the clouds with the drenching down pours and bring back the sun, which we miss so very, very much.

I sincerely hope you grant our wishes for sunny weather.

Take care,
Paul Remy

PS No more hail.

Rainy Day Lunch Bell

It was a rainy morning here at Jabberwocky and Jason and Kevin wrote a song about riding horses and we made this video while waiting for the lunch bell to ring:

Beach Day, At Last!

The Sun has finally decided to shine all day here at Camp Jabberwocky. And we went for in full on, leaving camp after lunch, packing a cookout dinner and staying until sundown. It was the kind of day we all live for here at Camp Jabberwocky, even though being away from camp for so long meant some of us had to poop in buckets.








These pictures were all taken by Mary Prince, mother of one of our fine counselors, and a visitor for the day. In the moring she checked out the scene at various classes.



Eating a meal with Camp Jabberwocky is a fun, mind altering experience. We welcome visitors for meals, just come prepared to tell a story, and maybe get wet too.

A Wedding at Camp Jabberwocky

Yesterday was a very wonderful day for all of us here at Camp Jabberwocky. Jonathan Wolf and Mandy Adams got married right here at camp in a beautiful ceremony in front of 300 people, including the entire camp. We always say that Jabberwocky is like a big family and events like this prove that it is so. Jon and Mandy met at camp and fell in love, like many Jabberwockians before and after. It's quite a romantic spot, truth be told.





Campers and counselors made signs with helpful advice for the couple to be:


















Thanks Jon and Mandy, for sharing with us your big day. Have fun in Jamaica! Jah!

The Beach Cometh

So we woke up yesterday and said, "We're going to beach, no matter what!" And then we looked at the weather report and it said "hail storms in the afternoon". Well, that would have made for an exciting beach trip for sure, but instead we decided to get really crazy and skip morning classes so we could get to the beach before the weather. Behold the pictures from our trip:



It was actually very nice at the beach, despite the gray skies. Quite a few of us ventured in for a brisk Atlantic swim.





Some of us just opted for a nice stroll on the shoreline...


We sang loud songs the whole way home...


And the next day we would welcome a historic event: An official Jabberwocky wedding! Stay tuned...
