The Fishing Trip

Some of us went on an excellent fishing excursion aboard the SS Skipper.  Everyone caught a fish!

We decided not to eat any of the fish we caught and instead threw them back into the sea.

The Play is coming up!  July 16th and 17th at 7:30pm...c'mon over and be amazed! 

Street Fair

Last week we marched into town en masse for the Tisbury Street Fair, intent on taking the world by storm and gorging everything the fair had to offer.  Namely pizza, ice cream, donuts, and other exotic cuisines that can only be found on the Vineyard. Rolling into a packed street fair 70-deep was an adventure in itself, so it's no small feat that the show was stolen by an awe-inspiring performance of George climbing the rock wall.  As he fearlessly climbed the Mt. Everest of rock walls, all eyes in Tisbury were on George.  The Man.  The Myth.  The Legend.

Ride a Horse

A reprise of one of our favorite original songs from Camp Jabberwocky, "Ride a Horse" - by Kevin Braxton and Jason Lopes.  

You don't need to adjust the sound on your computers - yes, you are in fact listening to the voices of angels.

Evening Kayak off Chappy

Although our good friends in the August session have partook in this adventure before, us July folk had never ventured to Chappaquiddick for a kayak trip.  It was awesome!  We paddled under the famous bridge and through pristine lands till our arms nearly fell off.

Nobody fell in the water unless they wanted too.  For some reason the water was very warm out there so most of us ended up taking a sunset dip and then sort of regretting it once we had to endure the cool breeze.

Some of us used canoes instead of kayaks.

The trip back in the dusk light was wonderous...

Horseback Riding and Water Fighting

The heat wave continues but it won't slow us down a bit!  We hydrated ourselves silly and went horseback riding like the cowboys of yore...

Sierra went on a trail ride:

That afternoon we had a water fight.  At first it was a baseball game, but then it turned into an all out soakfest.  Behold!

That evening we went kayaking and fishing, but you'll have to tune in tomorrow for those pictures.  Life is good here at Jabberwocky!

Beating the Heat

While the rest of the East coast melted away in Heat Wave '10, we Jabberwockians hit the beach and cooled off in the refreshing seas.  We also ate hamburgers and chocolate.

Hellcat, our fearless founder, was there too, telling everyone she was 97 years old despite claims that she was only 96.  We tried to tackle her into the sand but she fought us off every time!

Check out these crazy tattoos!

Everyone got in the water, and it was good...

The Parade!

The theme this year was "Jabberwocky in Outer Space" which turned into a Star Wars theme and we won an award for our parade presentation: "Best Overall Everything".  It was a great parade, everyone cheered for us and we were all tired afterwards and some of us threw up on our space costumes but that was nothing new except they were space costumes that needed to be cleaned instead of animals or princesses or something.  The second half of camp has begun!  Jo-Jo left but she's coming back and we got a whole bunch of new campers and counselors to replace the ones we lost. 

It's been a great summer so please come say hello if you are on the Vineyard and get ready for the best play ever: Fame! That's the name of the play, "Fame!", but we still need to write it and rehearse too.   Somehow we've got to figure out how to use all these space costumes in a play about a high school for performing arts...Anyway, tonight we are going to drumming at the beach! Sand in our fannies! Yes!

Dance Fever

At Camp Jabberwocky, we're always dancing.  Whether it's a party we're throwing, a talent show, or camper-counselor challenge night, our original moves and beats are always on fresh display.  If you're looking for a little style on the dance floor, maybe you can pick up some moves from us!
