Wavapalooza!!!
Yesterday’s theme was ‘Wavapalooza’, based off the popular three-day music festival in Chicago. We started the day by raising the flag with the girls dressed as boys to represent the music genre R&B/Hip Hop. The message of the morning was to take every opportunity given at Wavus, whether it is achieving that qualification in archery or talking to that girl you have never met before, with passion and enthusiasm.
In the morning, girls engaged in activities such as sailing, field sports, arts & crafts, and woodwork. After G Swim, they had worked up quite the appetite and were ready for the bountiful spread of chicken nuggets and fries at lunch. Being allowed to sign up first for afternoon activities was the reward for the girls who dressed up appropriately for the ‘country’ lunch.
Afternoon activities challenged the girls yet they had to save some of their energy in order to work together to plan a choreographed dance for the evening activity, Air Guitar. Every cabin was instructed to choose a song that had not been published in the last three years and all counselors were encouraged to participate.
After a delicious meal of ‘techno’ ravioli and ‘house’ meatballs, the girls performed a dance routine to the song of their choice. The evening show was such a hit that it turned into an original Wavus Dance Party! As the sky turned from blue to pink to almost black, the girls danced to a range of different artist’s songs, such as ‘Live Like A Warrior’ and ‘22’.
As the flag was lowered, I encouraged the girls to be happy with the person they are. It is fun to dress up and act like others, but when it comes down to it, the person you only can be is yourself, and that girl is truly awesome!
