First Session Update

MONDAY: Part Deux
To finish up the day the entire camp got together for the final campfire of the session. All the cabins including the C.I.T’s who had not yet done a skit performed. And then of course lights out and sleeping campers.

TUESDAY
Today the TAPS (Thin Air Patrol) Overnight left camp to rock climb, and hang out. Monica A, Rebekah M., Simone S., Valery Z., Agnes A., and Will M. were the lucky camper participants in this adventure. We had two lake trips today- Emerson K., Brendan S., James O. and Peter D., went in the morning, while Mat W., Adam O., Casey N., and Taryn L., and went in the afternoon. While these campers were enjoying themselves wakeboarding, water skiing, and kneeboarding, activities continued at camp, including a chance to cool off by playing water balloon volleyball. Dinner was BBQ night, which comes only once a session! For this special treat we had hamburgers, hotdogs, and chicken followed by brownies for dessert. Evening activities included canoeing and fishing out of camp, and a huge game of soccer in the meadow, or other amazing activities.

WEDNESDAY
Once again we had two lake groups, normal activities and the usual morning riding lessons continued. In the mornings, Brianne C. Brendan S. Sarah P., and Taryn L. went to the lake in the morning and Brianna J., Mariah D., Marina N., and Joe G. went in the afternoon. During rest hour we packed lunches for everyone because it was picnic night! Every cabin got to pack their own food outside to eat dinner and hang out. After dinner a small group of went on another fishing trip, but all campers still at camp went on the counselor hunt! The C.I.T’s and J.C’s headed out to Lynne’s pond for an evening filled of socializing bonding and s’more making until it was dark.

THURSDAY
Camp was awoken by the usual music, but an hour later because it was sleep-in day! After a delicious pancake breakfast and extended cabin cleanup we did an all camp cleanup, because the camp gets full of t rash when we have lots of fun. Once the camp was spotless we all gathered in the meadow with as many belongings as possible attached to ourselves, because it was the Dutch Action, which is a fun game where all the cabin groups engage in friendly competition. Today was a day for sleeping and reviving because we had an extended rest house and only two hours of afternoon activities. During family hour, Jenilee, our crafts director put together a wonderful art exhibit and an exciting fashion show to display all the tie dyed clothing and other things campers have made art crafts. Tonight we have our talent show, stay posted for a report of the most entertaining acts.
