On the Beach

While Jen and Paige were in LA, they hit the beach. Check out what they did while they were there!

Cool, huh??

Colbie Caillat and Erin Sanders

Do you like Colbie Caillat? Then you're in luck, because Hear & Now just interviewed her for the Fall Issue!

We also got the chance to interview Erin Sanders, from Zoey 101, the same day. The two GSHCC Interns that got to go down and interview her made some video blogs (vlogs) of their trip down to LA.

I'll be adding one every day for the next couple days, so keep coming back to see how their adventure went!

Here's the first vlog:

Dear Julie,

There's this guy at my school. He's really cute and nice but he also is a flirt and gets in trouble quite often. I don't know what to do. I like him a lot, but my friend asked him to go to the 8th grade dance as friends, but he turned her down. She also texted him awhile back and asked if he liked me. He never replied but seemed to be around me a lot when we had elective. What should I do?

Dear Crushin',

This guy probably gets into trouble quite often because most guys go through a stage where they need attention, positive or negative. Hopefully he will grow out of this stage, and as long as he treats you and others with respect I think it's ok to continue liking him. When he turned down your friend's invitation to the dance, maybe he was waiting for an invitation from you? As to your friend texting him, not many guys are willing to share their emotions about girls, even to their closest friends. I think you should ask this guy out on a group date. See if your friends and his want to go to the park for a game of tag or go for an after dinner ice cream run. Going on group dates will give you the chance to get to know him and see if he is interested without the awkwardness of a one on one date.

Session 6, Last Day

July 11th
Hello Everyone,

Today was a great day up here at Menzies . Night Owls and Camp’s Canoe arrived back from their trip this morning and they had some great stories to share with everyone. They also had a blast doing archery! All the groups had the option of participating in our Polar Bear Swim this morning in the Canoe Lake and some of the campers took that opportunity. They also earned a certificate about doing the Polar Bear Swim. Forest Friends went swimming this afternoon and had a great time planning their skit. For campfire, they decided to dance on Hannah Montana song for everyone. Sierra Safari slept in the meadow last night and woke up in time for many of the girls to do the Polar Bear swim. They also went swimming in the afternoon and to Nature. The girls in Firelight and Fairytales had a great time at Nature where they went bug catching in the meadow. The girls were also able to go canoeing and had a lot of fun looking for tadpoles. Tonight we look forward to an all-camp campfire where all the campers will perform skits with their units for the rest of camp. It should be a lot of fun! It has been a great session and we are sorry to see all the girls return home tomorrow.
Love, Ramona Raccoon

Switch Session

July 10th
Hi everyone,
Today has been a busy day up here at Camp Menzies! The girls arrived excited and full of energy. Everyone was very excited to meet their counselors. In the afternoon, they toured camp with their unit and did the swimming assessment. We had a nice pasta dinner with a salad bar.
They also played name games and running games in our meadow with their counselors. All the units planned their cookouts today and decided what foods they would cook for their unit cookouts. On the Loose arrived from their two days trip and they had an amazing time doing water rafting, all day today. This evening we had a campfire where all the girls were able to watch their counselors perform skits. It was a lot of fun! Tomorrow will be another busy day for everyone. Good Night!
Look for pictures starting tomorrow!
