Monday and Tuesday...

Monday 7/9
This morning, Coppercreek offered many activities to our campers, including kayaking, oil painting, and rugby. We also opened the Vertical Playground this morning at High Ropes, which everyone enjoyed. The morning lake group – Max I, Mira L, Elise L, and Zoe J – had a great time wakeboarding, waterskiing, and wakeboarding. After lunch, Thin Air Patrol (our skill-based climbing program) opened at the climbing wall, where campers practiced climbing, belaying, and rappelling. At horses, there were two hours of vaulting, mini driving, CHA, and Saddle Club. In the evening, everybody had a great time learning new songs at campfire.

Tuesday 7/10
Junior Trek left today for a 3-day backpack trip to Summit Lake in Lassen National Park. The TAPS (Raphael L, Lola G, Jeanne L, Emma T, Jeff M, Ruth C, and Aly B), left for an overnight climbing adventure at the Loading Zone, a local climbing favorite. Meanwhile, back at camp, the morning continued. Campers participated in many exciting activities, including mountain biking, rugby, and fishing. After a great lunch of grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup (a personal favorite of Lauren D and Alex G), the afternoon continued with pool games, cookie baking, and riflery. At the barn, there was vaulting with Mira L, Taylor K, Seirra T, Sidney M, Megan M, and Tess L, as well as the Purple Mini Driving Group. Tonight, we all enjoyed Craig and Becky’s excellent barbecue for dinner, and then moved on to evening activities like canoeing, fishing, mountain biking, and soccer.
