And we're off! Super Seniors 2014 assembled on Sunday upon arrival at camp and never looked back. What a way to start off the summer on Monday than enjoying Early Morning Ski followed by the Giant Swing. We continued to swing into summer in style with an evening excursion to Lake George. The stories and laughter at dinner spilled over into the multi-floor Laser Tag battle and the wild Go-Kart tracks. The excitement for the next day's departure to Niagara was palpable, the energy was high, it wasn't contagious because everyone was already infected with Super Senior Syndrome.
One of the 8 Wonders of the World lived up to the hype, and the timing of our trip turned out to reap huge results. We treated the epidemic of Super Senior Syndrome with a cool down in none other than the Niagara Falls themselves. Riding the Maid of the Mist we powered our way against the current, witnessed rainbows rise and fall amongst the waterfalls and succumbed to the mist itself. Off the boat and up the stairs into the deluge as the strong winds swept the falls into us as we struggled both to maintain balance and soak up the beauty that was pelting us. This phenomenal experience just increased the symptoms of the syndrome...too much fun!
After dinner the group strolled down to the Falls once more as they were lit up at night. We heard the roar of the river as it rushed over the cliffs. Amazing as it was, we were in for a surprise. It was Canada Day, so our friends over the border decided to put on a show for us as we arrived on our night walk. The fireworks were unreal and put a perfect cap on the first day of Trip One. Wow.
How Cool is Matthew "Cole" Everett
