In and paid! Isotope requests the hill.
Fizzy, my 5 year old went last year and had a great time. I think there may have been some 4 year olds.
IN and Paid!! In for the Hill. Thanks for organizing Halfpipe. Great event. NoCo will represent again for sure.
In, paid. Put us on the hill with NoCo.
Will the pool be open this year? It was there just torturing my 2.0s last year.
HC. Paid. Looking forward to life on the hill with the rest of the MeCa/Isotope crew.
In and paid, we’re looking forward to it.
Place us with the Area 51 Pax.
HC as well. I’d pay extra to get a few lifeguards for the pool and the lake. I think my canoe tipped 17 times “accidentally.”
2.0 and I are in & paid! Want on the hill with Isotope. Thanks!
HC and payment made for me and the 2.0
Paid …Put us with those Weirdos from NOCO
Free Pass and 2.0 Bowser (7) are HC’ed and request the hill cabins too. If anyone doesn’t want to HC for HCL I recommend avoiding Jolly Roger and the fire pit after the sun goes down.
A few guys are asking about the pool. The additional cost to provide lifeguards for a group this large is significant but the real reason is that EVERYONE would have to pass a swim test prior to swimming and it would take hours to accomplish.
This year we are doubling the horse rides, adding more activities and bringing out a arnival and cookout on Saturday night – will be biggest and best year to date!!
Aye Halfpipe. That sounds like a logistical nightmare. One possible solution would be for PAX and kids to take a swim test at a YMCA prior to the camp to earn a green or yellow arm band.
See YMCA swim test: http://www.ymcacharlotte.org/programs/youthdevelopment/swimsportsplay/youthswim/test.aspx
I could spearhead this if you want to see if this is an available option. I would think since Camp Thunderbird is a YMCA camp, that an arm band from a Charlotte club would suffice.
We asked about that option specifically and was told that you have to “test” at camp on the premises.
Its all good Halfpipe, but I would like to see some analysis on the relationship between pool closings and kayaks capsized. #whoops 😉
Aye. You men are on it.
