Session 3 begins!

Sunday 7/15
All the eager third session campers arrived today in the afternoon (for the most part; a few arrived in the evening). They met their cabin counselors and cabin-mates, becoming better acquainted through meadow games. Later that evening everyone had a delicious dinner of spaghetti and meatballs! During twilight time, campers entertained themselves through various activities. They then proceeded to a very successful campfire, where counselors and campers alike explained their respective roles at camp (i.e. C.I.T.’s, J.C.’s, Horse Masters, Mountain Bike Specialists, Trek and Jr. Trek, etc…). All campers then went to their beds and slept peacefully.

Monday 7/16
Campers awoke to the beautiful music of “White Flag” by Dido and walked to breakfast, which just happened to be the world famous coffee cake. The campers then cleaned their cabins and got ready for the day. They all assembled at morning campfire as the directors took role check and listed the morning activities of mountain biking with Jorge and Emma, BMX with Alex and Lindsay. The morning lake group left with Gipper and Melissa as riding lessons started at the barn with Mark Dodge and Adelaide. High ropes was a great way for the Junior Trekkers and campers to bond led by Ellie, Brendan, Kyle and Uli.
Later that morning kids could be found at interesting activities such as yoga with Emma, clay and painting with Adam and Jennilee, riflery with Alex and football with Willy and Jake. Cindy and Mark led archery, while Lindsay and Jake played lacrosse. After an awesome lunch of sloppy Joe’s, campers rested for a short while before having their swim checks. After cooling down at the pool, campers partook in activities like ping pong with Jenny and dance with Steph. Fun card and dice games such as mafia with Kasi, poker with Jake, and thumper with Brett were particularly popular. Later on, campers were able to learn guitar with Cindy and Camille and make yummy ice cream with Adelaide and Jenny B. After the pool with Kyle and Adam, at 4P.M. everyone went back to their cabins for family hour, where campers got the chance to spend quality time with their cabin-mates and counselors.
With their stomachs growling, campers walked back up to the dining deck to eat an authentic Mexican dinner. After dinner campers had a choice of different activities such as pictionary with KT, Hide and Seek with Cindy, Jenny and Kate, and Kayaking with Alex, Uli and Brendan. At 9P.M. all campers went back to their cabins to get ready for bed after an exhausting day. If the first day of this third session is any indication, we are all in for a great two weeks!
