Here comes the sun...

Wednesday Afternoon
Wednesday afternoon’s schedule was improvised on account of the rainy weather. Everything was slightly more exciting with the huge down pour. When the rain stopped, we filled the evening with fun activities such as canoeing with Gipper, Brendan, and Uli, Fishing with Emma and Dave, a huge soccer game in the mud with Cindy and Kyle, BMX with Rob and Melissa and even the climbing wall with Alex and Lindsay. Even though our outpost night was postponed, every camper got to participate in a fun evening activity.

This morning had beautiful weather so our outpost will be tonight! Outpost is where everyone in camp gets to spend a special night in 6 campfire sites slightly out of camp. Everyone will sing campfire songs and eat s’mores and settle for the night under the stars. Our backpackers finally got to leave today because of the weather. This mornings activities went on as normal such as a run on one of the mountain bike trails, dream catchers were made at crafts, kids that had riding lessons this morning were Marek, James R, Andrew, Olivia, Madi M, Ella, Colleen, Bailey, Laura H., Kiera, Emily Dodge, Hannah, Emily E., Sarah M. and Kate D. Our Lake group today included Milo and Austin R. Lunch today was a delicious! We had nachos, a camp favorite. After rest hour some afternoon activities included fishing, recon, mafia, volleyball, name that tune, and open vaulting for anyone who wanted to learn to vault. At Family hour everyone packed out in cabin groups and headed to their outpost site to have a fun night filled with cooking hotdogs over the fire, roasting marshmallows, and stargazing.

Last night at outpost each cabin was sent outside to sleep under the stars. Campers cooked their own meals over an open fire and enjoyed smores before snuggling into their sleeping bags for a bit of stargazing. This morning upon our return to camp, campers took time to relax and write letters home. At eleven a group left for an extra long day at the lake, while others hung around camp to take their pick from a selection of morning activities. After enjoying hamburgers for lunch, campers kicked it at rest hour and then dispersed for afternoon activities. Also this afternoon we eagerly began preparations for our weekly party night. Tonight’s dance theme is Mardi Gras and everybody is very excited.
