Fun and games

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door."

Thus reads the inscription on the base of the Statue of Liberty. Torch held high, she has proudly stood in New York's harbor for years, greeting weary travellers. Thanks to our efforts at staff night last night there is a tin foil covered mass in the shape of Lady Liberty waiting to greet one of our weary travellers. A staff member here at camp returns from a trip to New York tonight. We spent our staff evening yesterday constructing the Statue of Liberty out of an old plant stand, a pool stick, newspaper, a pair of old coveralls, a sleeping bag, cardboard and lots and lots of tin foil. You could say we constructed her from "the wretched refuse of our teeming shores." It was fun and she is a thing of beauty.
