Buck's Rock - 2005

Here they are....pictures from the summer of 2005 at Buck's Rock...the summer of Dusty Springfield, Shedfan, peeing in the street, head lice, heros, and Ernie the Rat.... Feel free to email me comments, etc. If you'd like higher resolution versions of any of them emailed to you that can be arranged. I also have a few more pictures that I did not post, particularly from the shows. So if you're looking for anything in particular, such as all the pictures I have with you in them, I might be willing to look through them and email you those too.

*Addendum as of 8/27/05....
It occurred to me that a lot of people are posting their pictures on line these days. Wouldn't it be great if there was one central place that had a link to everyone's sites where their pictures were posted? Well, I am volunteering to be that central site. Now I just need everyone to send me the links to where your pictures are so I can add it. So, send me your links, and encourage your friends to send theirs too. Email them to jeffgreenberg@nyc.rr.com I will add them all at the bottom of this page.

Enjoy!

Staff Party - At the beginning of staff orientation week (a few days before the campers arrive) we have a staff party at the Holiday. There is much dancing and consumption, and karaoke at this party. Here are a few memories from that night.

Alex Anastas and Luke Geller

Eloise Barrow and Ben Ragen

Alana Jacoby

Yali Lewis

Eloise, Erica Zeller, and Sara Glaberson

Wendy Lee, Emma Kirwan, and Bev

Team Building - Another thing that happens before the campers arrive is a fun day of staff team building. This year everyone was divided into teams and had to create an offering to to the God Bulovus. The team that had the best offering won some insignificant prize. Here are some of the highlights of the offerings from that day.

Brian singing a song as part of a ritual

Sarah Dupuis carrying their offering toward the God

The God Bulovus awaiting his offerings

The pink team offering the God a sacrificial virgin (Eloise)

Now they're carrying their virgin back to the stage for the sacrifice

Tom Houseman and Karen Swetnam carrying their sacrificial skeleton to the God

Alex Weprin and Chris Haske carrying their sacrificial virgin (Natalie Butler) to the God

The clowns perform a violent ritual in which they destroyed an effigy of an evil God. Is that Becky with a field hockey stick, and Sara Glaberson in a shopping cart?

Amy's Pictures - Finally the campers arrived so we were allowed to stop sacrificing each other to a foam rubber mascot. I was away in Cape Cod for 10 days at the beginning of first session and therefore didn't get many pictures. Luckily, our beloved CIT Amy Larrowe, gave me these pictures that she took.

Baseball Trip - One day after tearing my calf muscle, I stupidly decided to go on the trip to the minor league baseball game despite the fact that I was on crutches. On the way out, Mike Wellman and I each bought a pair of Thunder Stix (extremely annoying noisemakers) for use on the bus ride back to camp.

One Strange Night - Late one particular strange night in our shop, I was sitting there icing my injured leg when Bethany Boles, Alana Jacoby, and Dana Wickens showed up. They performed a German disco for us.

Another move

Yet another move
Soon, Amanda Caggiano showed up, found the Thunder Stix, and began to play....

Bethany and Amanda sword fighting

more fighting with their new found "swords"

They just couldn't get enough of those things

Apparently, neither could Dana...

Once they all realized that these pictures would end up on the internet, as my pictures always do, Justin and Dana used the Thunder Stix to tell me what they thought of that
