Session 1 ends, Session 2 begins...

The last few days of session 1 went by in a blur, and we were so busy with the transition that we fell behind in our blog postings. Thanks for bearing with us!

Thursday 6/28 part 2.

“The Stars Are Out” talent show took place on our very own campfire stage tonight! We were graced with incredible performances by campers, staff, CITs, and JCs. Some highlights included Monica A’s flexibility, Michael O’s singing, Patrick L’s rendition of “I Hung My Head” on guitar, Justin C’s guitar skills, and a skit by all the girls of Treehouse. Even our vaulters got in on the talent fum, with Griffin B, David G, Alex O, Taryn L, and Tess L showing off their skills!

Friday 6/29.

This Friday was the last full day of first session, which meant that Catherine D, Fish, Molly D, Sarah F, Laura O, Kate K, Monika H, and Sarah P went on the very last lake group, and James O, Peter L, Justin C, Tim Y, Emerson K, Joe G, Simone S, Rebkah M, and Griffin B all did high ropes in the morning. Kate E, Gina T, Brendan S, Maddie S, Ginger B, Taylor A, Claire S, Valary Z, Peter L, Andre G, and Michael O all went canoeing at Round Valley in the afternoon, and had a blast! Other than those exciting excursions, the usual fun activities too place. After dinner and packing time, everyone headed over to campfire for awards and the drama play. Awards were presented to campers who participated in horses, TAPS, Kayaking, and Mountain Biking, The play was a Coppercreek version of Cinderella, featuring counselors Adam and Emma, JC Camry, and a cast of talented campers. We ended the night with a party! The theme was Wild Wild West, so everyone dressed up in their best western attire. After dancing the night away, campers were serenaded to sleep by the staff and JCs.
