Bluestone is a magical place where people who just met consider each other family, dogs wear people clothes, purple gorillas play tag, superheroes are real and make appearances just when they're needed most, fires reach to the skies, problems seem to fade away, and lives are changed.
Friendship for a lifetime
And a family that grows
Each and every moment
Love is being woven
Through the Father, Son, and Spirit
I have learned and now I know
That Bluestone through the ages
Will always be, like coming home
And a family that grows
Each and every moment
Love is being woven
Through the Father, Son, and Spirit
I have learned and now I know
That Bluestone through the ages
Will always be, like coming home

Counselor-In-Training
CIT's are the unsung and often overlooked heroes of camp. Working for even less pay than the minimal pay of the famed and glorified camp counselor, CIT's are often tasked with the grunt work of washing dishes and working in the kitchen in addition to an hour a day of CIT class and a CIT project, leaving limited time for them to actually be of any use to the counselor and group they've been paired with for the week. All of this they do just for a small taste of the authority and experience of almost being a counselor while still in high school.

Are you a counselor or a CIT?
What does CIT stand for?
Your camper just insulted me, he called me a CIT.
You'll always be King of the CIT's, Durphy.

A fun and simple pool activity where everyone forms a circle in the pool and runs as fast as they can in one direction and then everyone changes direction at the same time and try to run the other direction causing a whirlpool effect. This process is then repeated as much as desired. The more people the better the whirlpool!
Everyone form a circle in the shallow end and we'll make a whirlpool!
No dying in the whirlpool, please!
No dying in the whirlpool, please!

Celebrated on the fifth of every month, Cinco de Nacho, is a holiday celebrating the glory and deliciousness of nachos. To properly celebrate Cinco de Nacho, 4+ trays of nachos with varieties of toppings loaded on top are needed along with lots of friends and/or family to celebrate with and fireworks to follow after the eating of the nachos. However, when circumstances dictate otherwise it has also become acceptable to celebrate Cinco de Nacho in a simpler fashion such as a simple run to Sheetz to get nachos by yourself.
Happy Cinco de Nacho!!
