The Shadow Movie
The opportunity to play with an enormous circular blue screen stage in the middle of the woods doesn’t come along very often. We’re happy to report that the Staff and Campers of Beam took advantage of the opportunity. While the 2010 Beam Project, A Trip To The Sun, was in its final stages of production (or the crunch phase as we called it at camp), The Shadow Movie was created. Take a look.

A Day in the Life of Robby
7:30 a.m. Morning Bell
In the morning me and all the other cabins wake up and get dressed for breakfast.
8:00 Breakfast
I like the breakfast at Beam; it’s always something good.
8:40 Bunk Cleanup
My bunk, the Neutrinos, clean relly good for the bunk inspector but after lunch it looks like a tornado went through the cabin.
9:10 Project Period 1
During project period 1 each wave gets a place to work. I’m in wave 2. I’m still on the fence about the project. I can’t tell you what it is though.
10:30 Water Break
At watter break you get a little snack like trail mix.
10:45 Project Period 2/Junior Activity
At Project Period 2 my wave goes to work on the Beam project. The SPFFs (Small People Fire Forces) get to go to the lake or play on the field.
12:15 p.m. Lunch
At lunch I go to the the mess hall and Duddana, Justin and Lauren—the chefs—cook us all a meal. What I dont like is that if you don’t like what they serve you, you dont get anything but what they serve.
1:00 Rest And Reading
At Rest and Reading the bunks go back to the cabins to read or sleep.
2:10 Domain Period 1
At Domain 1 I go to the domains I picked for week 1: BEAMtv, fly fishing and video editing. For week 2 I picked BEAMblog ,photo essay, SNERKO T-shirt making (where we interview each other and make hand written T-shirts for one another) and boating.

Just another snack…I usaly play ping pong during this time.
3:40 Domain Period 2
I go to my domain I picked for period 2.
5:00 ulse Period
At Pulse Period you can go to the field or go swimming in the lake. I go swiming most of the time.
6:15 Dinner
Dinner is good most of the time; it’s probaly the best meal.
6:45 Free time
At free time I go down to the field with my friends.
7:30 Evening Activity
During Evening Activity the whole camp does something then we usually have dessert.
9:00 Free Time/Juniors To Bunk
We can do something in our bunks. I like to read but we don’t have a lot of free time because of Evening Activity.
