Saturday: Part 2
Saturday evening started out with an exciting, camp-wide crazy hat dinner. All campers, C.I.T.’s, J.C.’s, and staff wore their craziest hat, or hat compilation, to dinner. The winners were the boy C.I.T.’s and the girls of Billabong. After a delicious dinner of lemon chicken and scalloped potatoes, camp prepared for capture the flag. At campfire, Amy and Becky divided the camp into two teams – the purple team and the orange team. As the two teams, led by captains Mike D. and Melissa, headed to the field, the adrenaline mounted. The intense game of capture the flag ended with the glorious victory of the orange team. Many faces came back happy and many hearts were broken. Ah, the glory of victory, the agony of defeat!
Sunday
Camp, tired from the previous night’s games, woke up to a scrumptious breakfast of blueberry muffins, along with eggs, sausage, yogurt, and cereal on the side. The splendid young riders spent their morning honing their skills on horseback. While the horseback riders were doing their thing, Kelly L. and Rebekah M. got a special treat – the lake to themselves. Woo hoo! This morning, the C.I.T.’s got to spend a few hours bonding on the high ropes course. The same morning, Joe G., Emerson K., James O., Peter D., Casey N., Tim Y., and Justin C. left for an overnight mountain biking adventure. As the day progressed, Mariah D., Fiona H., Danielle S., and Tess O. – those lucky ladies – got to go miniature pony driving. After dinner, we ended the night with Vespers. At Vespers, the campers chose songs, poetry, and/or quotes to present to the group. Vespers is a quiet time to celebrate life and nature in camp. We changed our Vespers spot this year, and Papa John would have been proud. Among the many beautiful poems and quotes, Patrick L. and Mike F. played us lovely songs on their guitars. All in all, it was a peaceful relaxing night.
Monday
What an exciting schedule for Monday – no Nameball! This exciting morning, there was a turbo, super exciting climbing trip to the loading zone with Agnes A., Sarah P., Valary Z., Will M., and Rebekah M. That is awesome! Another exciting activity that happened this morning was the Lizard Hunt. Michael O., David G., Andre G., Danielle S., and Helen G. found a lizard and made a pleasant home for it at Nature. The afternoon was exciting as well. There was an afternoon lake group with Laura S., Helen G., Danielle S., Tess L., and Alex O. The mini ponies were also out and about playing with the campers. Tonight there is more fun to come with campfire and skits!!
