Saturday's news...

FRIDAY, continued…
On Friday afternoon, riding instructors Deb and Jenny took the Saddle Club on a trail ride. These three girls: Laura S, Helen G, and Aiden R, had a blast.

The Pajama Party dance that evening was a huge success. All the campers showed up in their finest bedtime apparel to dance the night away (until 9:30, that is!). Just as promised, Club Med and Battleship received ice cream sundaes for having the cleanest cabins, while the rest of camp got popsicles for dessert. As the party calmed down and came to a close, the campers headed off to bed while the CITs and JCs stayed to clean up the decorations and get the deck ready for breakfast the next morning.

SATURDAY
Saturday morning began with a breakfast of French toast sticks, sausage, eggs, and the usual granola and yogurt and cold cereal. Later this morning, the morning lake group, consisting of Emerson K, Tim Y, Joe G, and James O headed out for a morning of lake fun. The riders at horses took their lessons as usual – everyone is working hard and improving immensely. Rebekah M, Tess O, Mariah D, Sarah C, Tess L, Monica A, and Helen G made their way over to the high ropes course, many of them for the second time this session. Although we are very proud of all our campers, we’d like to give special recognition to Tess L, who faced her fear of heights and completed two portions of the course with exceptional composure. Rebekah M and Mariah D nearly completed a particularly difficult section of the course, called the Vertical Playground, and would have finished had lunch not been called. We had a lunch of sandwiches before the afternoon lake group (Rebekah M, Kate E, Mariah D, Jordan G, Kate K, Laura O, Taylor A, and Maddy S) left for an afternoon of wakeboarding, waterskiing, and kneeboarding. Back at camp, activities continued as usual. Tonight, everyone is excited for our huge game of Capture the Flag. Stay tuned for the results of the game, and more news of day-to-day fun at Coppercreek!
