Steven the Squirrel

Steven the squirrel lives at Camp Willow Run. Steven the squirrel loves fall. He enjoys climbing from tree to tree knocking off acorns, watching them fall and then running after them before they get lost in with browning leaves. Steven the squirrel loves to collect these acorns and see how many he can shove in his mouth before he explodes. Every year he tries to beat his record from the year before. Currently Steve holds the record for cheeking 11 acorns. Steven the squirrel’s uncle is one of the most famous Grey Squirrels on the East Coast. At Crossroads Summer Camp every year, they sing about Steve’s Uncle. Perhaps you have heard the song before? “Grey squirrel, grey squirrel, shake your bushy tail. Grey squirrel, grey squirrel, shake your bushy tail. Put your face between your toes. Wrinkle up your little nose. Grey squirrel, grey squirrel, shake your bushy tail!” Steven is a nice squirrel too but has never had a song written about him. Perhaps you could write one for him…DO NOT DISSAPOINT Steven the Squirrel. (Write a song for him and sign up for fall retreat!).

I can't wait to meet Steven the squirrel. I love his uncle. Too bad he had to retire this year.

Steven the squirrel,
So round and chubby.
Never had to quarrel
About acorns in his cubby -
For he has his own tree
And living the squirrel dream,
He hates to disagree,
See his smile gleam.
His picture on Google
Speaks to the world.
As large as a toy poodle,
And his tail curled,
Shines as a light
To the camp so bright.
So dance to the music
Like never before!
Shake your tale at the lake shore.

I love you steven!!!!
