Golden Slipper Record Second Session 2015

Golden Slipper Record
Second Session
2015
This newspaper is published
With a campership in memory of Milton Ball,
A Philadelphia newspaperman.
DEDICATION
The 2015 Second Session Edition of the Golden Slipper Record is
dedicated to Aunt Andi Seitchik. Andi has spent the last 5
summers as the Female Head Counselor here at GSC. She came to
Slipper with years of life experience as a camper, counselor, and
teacher but most importantly as a mother. She has taken all of the
knowledge she has stored over the years to make Golden Slipper
Camp a better place for both campers and staff.
Aunt Andi’s journey to this point has not always been an easy one.
But one she has taken head on and has shown those who know her
how a positive, confident attitude can lead to great things. She has
helped us all realize that “Fight for Andi” really means “Fight for
Right”.
Andi thank you for doing what you do. We are happy you are part
of our Slipper family and hope to see you for many more years to
come.
Letter from the Director
Dear Golden Slipper Campers and Staff,
Here at Golden Slipper Camp we have created our own unique community
where every person is welcomed and valued. At Golden Slipper Camp, we
depend on one another, we encourage one another, and we strengthen one
another without hesitation. The first session of 2015 is a true testament to
what we have tried to create here at GSC. Over the last three weeks, I have
seen campers and staff grow as a family in which everyone is treated in a
positive manner. New and old staff members have come together to lead our
campers with passion and enthusiasm.
Throughout the second session we had days of sun and fun. We swam,
whipped and nay-nayed, played, competed, laughed and enjoyed each
other’s company throughout camp. I know friends were made this summer
and hopefully they will last a life time.
Now it is time for us all to return to the “real world”, I hope you will take
these memories, along with the new skills you learned and share them with
your friends. I hope you will use your potential throughout the year to make
a positive influence on those around you.
Work hard in school, be well, and return to your Golden Slipper Family in
2016.
Sincerely,
Uncle Tom O’Neill

Girls’ Bunk Notes
Saying Goodbye is Hard to Do
How fortunate I am to have something so dear to my heart that makes saying
goodbye so hard. As the summer of 2015 comes to an end, tears fill my eyes to be
leaving all the wonderful people who have touched my life these past two months.
Watching all my girls overcome new challenges, make new friends and discover
new things has been a joy and pleasure. We have all learned to live together as a
family, understanding and embracing our likenesses and differences. It is truly
the love of Golden Slipper Camp that allows us to breakdown the walls. Hand in
hand each day we walk, sing and play while all along building bonds that will last
a lifetime. Our hearts will forever be touched by the essence of GSC.
When I think of all of you over the winter months, I will never forget the sparkle
in your eyes, the spirit in your hearts and the love of GSC we all share and believe
in. It has been an honor and privilege to be the girl’s head counselor of Golden
Slipper Camp again this summer. I dry my tears as I realize it is not goodbye, for
you will remain in my heart until I see you next summer!
I look forward to spending the summer of 2016 back at GSC!
To my lovely Strauss Village campers,
Whoa! What an exciting encampment! Since the beginning we have had so
many big events, it's hard to imagine how camp would have been without them. We
started with Uncle Bubba's new Epic Adventure, where we discovered different realms of
the nerd universe. Soon after, we took part in Israel Day, which ended with a concert by
none other than Rick Recht. Plus, let's not forget our Dad-Bod Leagues. Thon,
Backwards Day, and the Halloween Dance...I mean movie, lead us into an intense
weekend filled with Made in SPOON-merica, Golden Citizen, and MTV Night. And the
Marvel Superhero Olympic Bowl broke out! Once we recovered from our four days of
craziness, we experienced Camplified, another concert showcasing up and coming artists,
and closed out the summer with the "Into the Woods" themed Dinner Dance down at the
lake! All of these activities were neat, but you are what made them the huge successes
they were. Thank you for taking advantage of all camp had to offer, and making this a
phenomenal summer! I hope all of you have a wonderful school year, and that I see all of
you return next summer!
To my amazing staff,
I could not have made it through this summer without each of you. You all
brought something unique to Strauss that turned us into the powerhouse village that we
were. I cannot thank you enough for all of the hard work and dedication you put into
making this summer the best our campers have ever seen. I genuinely wish all of you
well through the upcoming year, and expect to see each of your names come up on the
staff list for next summer.
Much Love,
Aunt Courtney

The ingredients that make bunk K the most amazing bunk in Friends Village and the
greatest bunk at Golden Slipper Camp
In Bunk K, 2nd Encampment 2015 there 9 campers these campers all have different
abilities and gifts that make it the most magical place in all of camp. Jessica Lvov is the
calm, sweet, welcoming camper that would do anything for a bunkmate; she has the
power of giving to others. Emily Gamis is the young lady that will stand up for herself as
well as standing up for her friends, she has the power of bravery. Brooke Oxenhandler
is the spice; she always brings the heat and is not afraid to tell you her feelings about
anything. Natalya Tkachenko is the bunk spirit this girl always has a smile on her face
and has the energy that lights up a room.
Erika Shrayer brings us sugar her sweet persona makes everyone around her smile and
laugh at some of her hilarious ideas. Stephanie Williams is the spark she always shares
her snacks clothes, anything she has belongs to everyone in the bunk, she has the
mastered the gift of sharing. Madi Sliverberg is the most positive person at camp she is
always smiling truly enjoying every moment of camp life, her great voice, spirit, and love
for camp makes Bunk K a better place. Dana Selitsky is always telling everyone in the
bunk some story or showing us a cool trick while also being a friend to everyone in the
bunk. Janae Murphy is so caring to every camper in the bunk, she has a big personality
which can be mistook as an attitude but she is crazy and happy and makes sure everyone
in the bunk knows that they have a friend. Bunk K wouldn't be Bunk K without all of
these 9 campers and their different powers. Aunt Lisa came into Bunk K this
encampment and has been the chill reliable counselor these 9 crazy campers need.
Aunt Veronica creates great one on one relationships with each and every camper so
they know that they always have an older sister. Aunt Nikki Green is always spreading
her love for camp and her spirited personality to everyone in the bunk and all around
camp. Aunt Ariana wouldn’t be the best village leader that GSC has ever had. Bunk K
has been a great place this summer it will truly be missed.
Girls remember how much we love you! Remember to respect yourself and be the best
you that you can be. Keep coming back to camp, you guys are the future. Hope to see you
back at camp in 2016, thank you for the memories. We are so proud of each and every
one of you. Remember that you are independent women, who don't need no man, and to
respect yourself. Have a good school year, stay out of trouble.

Council Girls,
You all have made this a great summer for myself and I hope your counselors and I have
done the same for you. Each and every single one of you girls has shown me why this
camp is filled with the love and spirit it has to this day. Bunk M, you girls are one
energetic bunk. The spirit and happiness you all share is a truly wonderful thing and I
love that this place can make you that happy. Bunk N, you girls have the best humor I've
seen. At every meal I hear the laughter and can't help but to appreciate the fact that you
feel you can be yourself enough to joke with one another, your counselors, and myself.
Bunk O, you girls are some of the most genuine girls I have met. The unity you girls
have and the selflessness I see occur on a daily basis makes me so ecstatic to call this
place my second home. Your generosity rubs off on everyone you meet. Last but not
least, Bunk P, you girls work the hardest in the camp and never let anyone see you sweat.
You are the ones that prove even on the hardest, most stressful of days that this camp is
worth it and means a great deal. You are all amazing waitresses and I thank you for
giving your time and energy. All 43 of you girls make me fall in love with camp again
every single day and I would like to thank you for that. You all are beautiful human
beings inside and out and I hope one day you look back and enjoy the memories we've
shared.
To my counselors: Whether you have been in Council for one or two encampments, I
would like to say thank you. You all have made me feel like you truly care by the time
and effort you have contributed to the campers and this camp. I could not have done this
without you guys and I really do appreciate you going on this journey with me and giving
everything you have to make this an astonishing summer.
Peace, Love, and Happiness,
Aunt Jade

Waitresses 2015 Second Encampment
It’s the 2030 Golden Slipper Camp Reunion. The Soul Waits haven’t seen each other in
years. Let’s see what these beautiful ladies have been up to over the past 15 years…
Lizzie “Slizzard/ Darla” Bogomolny became the next hostess on the TLC show What

Drive in California.
Talya “Sassy Pants” Cooper is now married to the boy she was dating when she was a
waitress. She wanted to get out of the suburbs and live in a big city where she was able to

back into the house.
Tierna-Nikol “Legs” Flannery went on to become a full time Elastic Woman

The Boys Side 2015 2nd Session
Dear Boys,
There were highs and there were lows but we did it together and hopefully you made this
summer one of the most memorable ones of your young lives. You whipped and you
Nae Nae’d, you challenged yourself on the high ropes course, you tried new foods in the
dining hall, you experienced the camp Israel Day, you competed in a camp triathlon on
Wacky Backwards Day, you gave it your all during Olympics and went into the woods
during the dinner dance.
To the boys’ side staff, thank you once again for all of the hard work that you did, thanks
for the effort that you gave to the campers. If you are exhausted at the end of the
summer, it’s because the effort that you gave the boys side is evident in the smiles of the
boys.
To the boys’ side campers, thank you for making my first summer as Boys Head
Counselor a great one and I want everyone to try their best in school, study hard, play
hard and then I’ll see you all back in the summer of 2016.
Remember, clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose.
Uncle Mike Noble
Boys Head Counselor 2015
Dear Vogelson Village,
It's hard to believe that a second encampment has gone by and that our summer is coming
to a close. It's going to be so hard for me to say goodbye to all you fantastic campers and
counselors. If I am able to come back as Vogelson Village Leader next year, I hope that
my village is as good as it was this year.
For the second straight encampment, Vogelson Village was an awesome place to be. All
62 of you grew in one way or another and it was an awesome thing to watch. You each
brought something to Vogelson, whether it was your first time here or your fifth year here
and it made Vogelson a great village to lead.
Whether it be riding a bike or shooting a bow or learning the Spoon Maneuver in GaGa,
you all have learned a new skill. Gentleman, I hope you know how proud I am of you
and all that you have achieved. Now good luck in your schooling this year and I will,
hopefully, see you next year.
To my counselors; I cannot thank you enough. You guys have been exceptional this
summer. Without you guys doing what you do, I would not have been able to do my job
nearly as effectively. Thanks for this summer boys and here’s to next year and hoping
that it just as successful as this year.
Well gentleman, I have to go. And unlike last encampment, when a lot of you came back
for second encampment, I won't see any of you for 10 long months. I will leave you with
the words of country singer Tim McGraw, "We all take different paths in life, but no
matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere."
Much Love,
Uncle Zach

First and foremost I must thank you all. Thank you to the Kadden

thank you for being the mature young men you are. Week by week I was
able to see you grow and mature by leaps and bounds. Thank you for making
my first year in Kadden so much fun. This summer has been such an
amazing experience. I’ve made so many great memories with all of you. I
hope you all learned as much as I did this summer, and enjoyed it every step
of the way. Now go forth this year and do great things. Kadden! Rollllll out!
