Beautiful Day

After a very chilly night, we woke up to blue skies and an absolutely gorgeous Coppercreek day. Our Equestrian campers had their first day of 2 lessons and chose their specialty groups. They all chose either Vaulting or Mighty Minis. The Vaulting group worked their compulsories and then started to create Kurs (routines) they could do as teams. They practiced on both the barrel and a little bit on our draft mare, Annie. The Mighty Mini group hitched up both Jiggy and Beauty and each person was able to drive around the arena a bit. The lessons and ground lessons also went very well! We are so enjoying this session!

The lifeguards also finished their pool work today, just about the time the weather warmed up....! They will take their written tests tomorrow and we will have 8 new lifeguards for this summer's camp session. Mandatory staff training week begins Sunday, so we will have some new arrivals over the weekend. Only 10 more days until 1st session begins

Yes, I'm anxious to hear about it too. Ian will be going during the 3rd session and we're ALL getting excited. This is his second summer there, but first time staying for the 2 weeks. I'd love to get some tips/ideas on good care packages :-) See you in a couple of weeks!!!!

Thanks,
Jenn

We should have our first post out this afternoon! We have spent the last several days helping our staff and campers get camp rolling! We have really high expectations for our camp and want to ensure our children are having the best possible experience, so that has been our main focus!
Thanks for the posts! Enjoy the first of many blog entries.
