RE: Summer Camp

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

I wasn't a stick. I did marching band and weight lifting.

Everything knew it's place and stayed there.

Long gone are those days....

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

I never did camp when a kid, 5 kids, no money. DS did camp and he loved it. He also did an overnight christian hockey camp for a few summers, he loved that. DD has done the YMCA and Rec camps, she doesn't like them. If I weren't changing jobs I would put her into band camp. Maybe next summer.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I did Girl Scout camp two weeks of every summer when I was a kid. When I was 14 I went to a special horseback riding camp in Colorado. We packed everything we needed to camp in the mountains on our horses and lived up in the mountains for a week.

That is one cool camp, DD would love something like that.

NAOW · Vette's SS

That camp sounds awesome NJN! I would do something like that for DD, or any other camp I thought she would like. I never did one as a kid, but they sound fun.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I had a blast. I still remember stuff they taught us about surviving to this day. So maybe when the zombies come I will have some use after all! I felt so adult flying on the plane by myself. I flew into Wyoming and I bought my Dad the biggest western belt buckle with a big ole ruby in the middle of it. My mom hated that belt buckle. My dad wore it all the time.

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

I did a Christian sleep away camp with my cousin/best friend. We both hated it. It was the worst food, the counsellors played favorites, they made us square dance with boys (I was appalled at that as a 4th grader) and the mosquitoes were a nightmare. We were so miserable but we bonded over that camp! It cemented our friendship.

I sent DD23 to camp the summer after her sister was born. It was sleep away camp at Lake Erie (Camp Fitch Forever!) and she loved it. She came back with the best stories and she was all smiles. She was only 6 and she was dying to go back the next year. So we sent her again and she had a blast.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Well. Band camp wasn't camp actually. Not for us anyway.

You got to the school around 6 in the morning, did warm ups, laps, drills and standard orders. Had lunch around 11ish. Around 1 we were on the practice field working formation till about 4 or 5. Our practice field was the student parking lot. Hot asphalt. The joy of it is indescribable.

We did this from about mid June till the 4th of July. Took the week of the 4th off. The following week we were back at it. But each day got longer and longer.

I remember not coming home till 10 or later the closer we got to school starting.

We usually had our first game about 2 weeks into the school year. Band competition about 2 weeks after that.

We did 5 or 6 competitions a year.

We worked hard for our trophies.

I wasn't allowed around musical instruments as a child. When I sang wildlife began to die. It was ugly.

I don't think the counselors are going to care! They're happy to have the kids. This is the first thing like this SS has ever done. They're going to be studying singing in the context of theater. They will be singing Disney music therefore they asked for any Disney costume. They're studying music, instruments, song, dance, props, and movement in the theater setting.

Despicable Me and the Minions are a Universal property. They have nothing to do with Disney.

Well, that may be but the whole point is to have a costume. I would imagine they picked Disney because of the age group which is 5-12. Pretty safe for the most part. I still don't think a minion will upset the balance. I suppose I could email the lady and ask.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

I'm sure Disney appreciates that everyone assumes all cartoon characters are theirs.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I didn't assume that minions were Disney. I thought Pixar. I remember the little lamp thing that is their logo. I asked him what he wanted to be. I was trying to do Andy from Toy Story. I figured a cowboy would be easy. He said minion. I figured the camp wouldn't really care super much as long as it was appropriate for kids.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Ok. Pixar is the Dr. Pepper of the movie world.

No. Dispicable Me was not a Disney-Pixar movie. I was wrong.

However, Disney costumes for boys can be extremely easy.

Google the male characters.

You are right in that they probably won't care. Of course, if it is Disney sponsored, they might not like a competing property - but what are they going to do, really?

I just think if the theme is Disney, that's what you should try to do.

No. Pixar is owned by Disney. Pixar has never produced a major movie picture cartoon release for anyone but Disney and Disney BOUGHT Pixar in 2006. The only independent Pixar cartoons were shorts, and they are even owned by Disney now because Disney bought them.

You are a plethora of contradiction on this.

It's not Disney sponsored. It's two music teachers, out on summer break, who are holding a summer singing camp. The theme is Disney. They are singing Disney songs. I will email them and ask them what they think since apparently a minion does not seem to be going over well with you. If they say no then I will let him pick something else.

Only to someone who doesn't understand basic principles of business ownership and partnership. Pixar was Disney's partner in animated films until they couldn't agree enough and decided to resolve it by Disney just buying them. Before they were purchased by Disney, they were under contract with Disney regarding movies.

If you think you are correct - please find even ONE major animated film released by Pixar that is not a Disney property.

I really don't care if your SS is a minion. That's not the point. The point is people putting forth and arguing facts that are just plain not correct.

And it's not really you I am trying to argue with.

WTF are you talking about? My response was to your posting that Pixar is "the Dr. Pepper of the world". They are not, they are owned by Disney.

Minions are owned by Universal. I've never said otherwise. You are the one that said my post was full of contradictions when it was not.

No it's me. I really don't know why you are trying to argue about this. It's something I would stop my kids arguing about because it really isn't that important.

I'm not going to argue about this with you. You have already basically called me stupid and I really ain't in the mood for your crap today.

Have a nice day LL. Maybe go out and get some fresh air or something.

Well, if it's not something you'd argue about, why did you start by contradicting me? I love how you start arguments and then when proven wrong it's not worth arguing about.

And I'm rarely in the mood for your crap, but I have to deal with it all the time.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

LL, I said you were right. Then you said I was wrong saying you were right.

I said I was wrong.

You then proceeded to basically call me stupid.

So agree with you and I am wrong, not agree with you and I am wrong.

I wasn't arguing with you. I was saying I was wrong.

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

She only said you were wrong when you said she was contradicting herself. Which she was not. What is so difficult about that ?!

I said it was Disney-Pixar, she said it wasn't Disney. I said she was right and she told me I was wrong.

No, I didn't. But, your first sentence in that post was wrong, also - about Pixar being the "Dr. Pepper" of movie companies. THAT is the point I was correcting - which is WHY it was BOLDED. And then you told me I contradicted myself, which I did not.

And I did not call you stupid. If you feel stupid because you got called on saying incorrect things - that's on you.
