Wacky Wednesdays

2 week sleepaway camps

Camp North Star is steeped in traditions.  The two most recognizable are the RICHS and Eco- Challenge.  The most creative tradition occurs every Wednesday morning at breakfast when it’s time for Wacky Wednesdays.  It’s the time of the week for our campers and staff to dress up in silly and creative costumes.   There’s a theme for the week to give everyone a little direction on what to wear as well as adding some variety week to week.

You never know what you’ll see every Wednesday morning as the cabins file into the dining hall.  You’ll typically see everything from TuTus to wigs to to animal onesie pajamas to complete Halloween costumes and everything in between.  Dressing up isn’t mandatory.  But it’s definitely something campers and staff look forward to each week.  And some cabins put a lot of thought into their costumes and get very creative with matching outfits.

We are excited to announce the weekly themes for the 2018 camp season:

Week 1– Sports
Week 2 – Red, White and Blue
Week 3 – Twins
Week 4 – Schools Spirit
Week 5 – Clash
Week 6 – Tie-Dye
Week 7 – Decades

The weekly themes aren’t a requirement. We still encourage campers to use their own creativity.  The themes are beneficial to new campers and their parents when it comes time to shop for camp clothing and pack up their duffle bags.

Two of this year’s themes were intentionally chosen to foster collaboration between friends and within the cabin – Twins and Decades.  We are looking forward to seeing campers team up to dress in costume with one of their friends to be twins for the morning.  For the final Wacky Wednesday of the summer, each cabin will choose a decade and dress up in that genre.  Luckily for our campers and staff, we have a full costume closet waiting to be used every Wednesday.

Wacky Wednesday is another opportunity for campers and staff to step outside of their comfort zone and use their creativity and imagination.  Camp North Star is a place that campers can feel comfortable when they want to be a little wacky or silly in front of their friends and counselors.
