Singing and Dancing into Week 3!


It’s hard to believe that we are already at the halfway point of camp! We had an amazing and busy third week of camp. We started the week off with the whole camp going to a movie. Campers had the choice to watch Despicable Me 4 or Inside Out 2 with the surprise ending of the CITs breaking POTH on the big screen! POTH (Puttin' on the Hits) is our camp-wide annual lip-sync competition. Campers and staff worked really hard over 2 days and put on an incredible show Wednesday night in the Wingate Hall. With Visiting Day on Sunday, we made the focus of our Friday night program the importance of family (both our families at home and at camp). We were treated to a play on Saturday afternoon with a great rendition of High School Musical. Congrats to the cast who did an amazing job! Our sing-song on Saturday night was another epic one and was a perfect end to an amazing week in camp.


Sunday was visiting day and it was an incredible day in camp! We welcomed parents, grandparents, and friends into camp for a beautiful afternoon. It was so nice to see so many happy families enjoying time together. After a busy weekend, everyone chilled out and enjoyed a movie last night with lots of snacks from home. We are starting our final week of the first session and have so many amazing things planned! We look forward to sharing it all with you in our next edition!

Juniors this Week



This week was a very entertaining week for our Juniors at camp! They truly outdid themselves during our Annual POTH (Puttin' On The Hits) event, showcasing some of the best acts to date! From the Spice Girls to Soulja Boy, the performances were nothing short of spectacular, leaving everyone cheering for more. We also brought the magic of "High School Musical" to life with a fantastic play starring many of our talented Juniors. Singing and dancing as they delivered a show-stopping performance. On Monday, we took a break with a trip to the movies! Our campers had a blast watching either "Inside Out 2" or "Despicable Me 4," both of which were a hit with the Juniors. To cap off this amazing week, we celebrated Visiting Day with a bang! Our Juniors were overjoyed to reunite with friends, family, and even their beloved pets, making it a heartwarming conclusion to an unforgettable week at camp. Stay tuned for more adventures and memories as summer continues to unfold at Camp Wingate.

Inters this Week



As we have reached the halfway point of summer, there has been no shortage of action in the Inter Section. While Wingate is rich in its love for sports, performing arts stole the show this time. This week showcased one of our personal favorites, POTH (Puttin' On The Hits). This epic lip-syncing battle involves a performance from each bunk that is prepared over the course of two days. Our Inters took home nearly the entire podium. Bunk 19 (Grade 6 girls) took home the gold with an incredible performance of Kesha’s hit “Praying”. In second and third place were bunk 2 and bunk 4. Shea Uttamchandani took home POTH MVP for the second consecutive year along with his cousin Frank Uttamchandani receiving an honorable mention. On the girls' side, Dani Rosenblatt won MVP, and Casey Bush received an honorable mention. Many Inter bunks took their turn in joining outdoor adventure specialists Ollie and Jeremy on their overnights this week. Burgers and hot dogs on the fire, s’mores, and of course sleeping in tents! The week wrapped up with a picture-perfect visiting day as families joined us at camp for an amazing afternoon. From a beautiful Sun & Swim to an amped-up Sing Song, all candy bins have been restocked, and we’re ready for more fun!

Seniors this Week



This week at camp was amazing for our Senior Section! We started the week off with a trip to the movies where we got to enjoy a movie, popcorn, and a surprise POTH break. The highlight of the week was undoubtedly the much-anticipated lip-syncing competition (POTH). Our campers gave it their all, showcasing their creativity and talent with some unforgettable performances. It was heartwarming to see the camaraderie and bunk bonding that took place as they rehearsed together, cheering each other on every step of the way. We had an amazing visiting day on Sunday! Our staff was thrilled to meet the parents of our amazing campers, sharing stories and highlights from their time at camp. We can’t believe it’s almost the end of the first session. Stay tuned for another incredible week ahead in the Senior section!

CITs this Week



This week was an absolute blast for our CITs! The excitement kicked off with a surprise trip to the movies, where they had the choice to watch "Despicable Me 4" or "Inside Out 2". The CITs wowed the entire camp by appearing on the big screen with a special performance where they broke POTH. It was such an exciting and surprising moment that got everyone energetic for the week to come. The following days were packed with fun activities and lots of practice sessions. The CITs put in tremendous effort, and their hard work paid off with a flawless break and an amazing performance at the actual show on Wednesday. While all this was happening, the CITs went on a fun trip to the waterslides. The day was filled with lots of laughs and unforgettable moments. Everyone came back with big smiles on their faces! In addition to all the fun, the CITs began their new placements this week. They've been doing an outstanding job, quickly forming adorable and meaningful bonds with the younger campers. Their enthusiasm is really making a significant impact on all the kids. The week ended with a wonderful visiting day, where we had the pleasure of welcoming all the parents. It was fantastic to see everyone together, sharing all the fun stories they had at camp so far. As we look forward to the final week of the first session, we are filled with anticipation and excitement for what's to come.
