A few new activities being considered for 2009

As we approach the 2009 camping season, a few new ideas are being considered for the summer. The first is some form of a "Wii" tournament, similar to our washer toss and horseshoe events (where each entrant brings a can of soda and the winners take all). The most promising video game contests would be bowling and golf, and we just need to figure out how long it might take to run a "Wii" bowling tourney if 24 people showed up to play. We are hoping to utilize the big-screen projector, and have heard that these types of events are popular with some members of the retiree crowd (like many of our snowbirds). Another idea that has regained interest and popularity is a "Trivia Night" with teams competing for prizes. Still trying to see where it would best fit into the schedule, and how to make it a full family "all ages" activity, but it does have potential. With the popularity of our Sunday evening "poolside concerts", and with the great turn-out for the Labor Day Weekend afternoon pool set with The Outriggers, we are checking with some of our bands about playing some Saturday mid-day gigs at the pool. The probable time would be 11am until almost 2pm, as it would be prior to Bingo. Lastly, at our Staff Holiday Party, many people had great fun with "Cup Stacking", and it looks like we may incorporate that into the weekly summer schedule, either as a regular event of as a "rainy day activity". Our long-time pool supervisor Glenn C has organized many tournaments, as is a nimble stacker himself. We look forward to your input on these potential additions to the activity schedule.
