Our residents set sail for adventure today as we kicked off Pirate Day with our passport game! Everyone discovered their very own pirate name — and the laughter alone was worth its weight in gold.
From there, residents traveled to four Ports of Call, collecting stickers along the way to earn a special treasure at the end of the day. The morning was packed with swashbuckling fun, including our fishing game and the crowd-favorite Sea Serpent Challenge — where participants raced to pull a roll of “sea serpent” (a.k.a. toilet paper!) all the way to the finish.
Our staff joined in, too, with an Employee Treasure Hunt, searching high and low for hidden rubies throughout the building. The competition was fierce… and very pirate-like!
Lunch featured a delicious pirate-themed feast of fish and chips inspired by the shores of the Yucatan Peninsula — a hearty meal fit for any hungry buccaneer.
The highlight of the afternoon was a visit from the Real Pirates of Salem Museum, where residents met Captain “Black Sam” Bellamy himself. He shared stories from his life on the high seas and even brought real artifacts — a cannonball, 300-year-old coins, a shark’s tooth, and more. Truly unforgettable!
It was a day full of adventure, learning, and plenty of smiles.
Until our next voyage… fair winds, mateys!
