On a beautiful sunny day in the Swiss Alps, campers enjoyed the 2010 ISCM opening ceremonies at the beginning of the first session. This year marks a very special anniversary for ISCM- the 50th summer of sports, activities, friendships and fun.

During the opening ceremonies, the camp director along with the Head Counselors introduced the staff as well as extended a warm welcome to all campers. Then, as part of a special camp tradition, hundreds of balloons were released into the blue sky and carried away. Each balloon has the name of a camper on it as well as note to the person who will find the balloon to send it back to camp. The camper whose balloon makes it the farthest is sent a special gift later in the year.

Finally, to close the opening ceremonies, as is customary, the staff got together and performed the camp dance, which is performed this year to the song “I gotta feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas.
