Fantastic First Day of 2009
Posted on Sunday, June 7th, 2009 at 6:54 pmHello Everyone!
What a fantastic start to the summer!!! All but 9 campers were checked in by 12:15…I think that has to be a record! Thank you to all the parents that had to wait to get checked in.
I can’t tell you how great things are going. The afternoon started with cabin team building activities and went into outdoor games. There was kickball, basketball, dodgeball and more. Afterwards the campers and counselors returned to their cabins to establish some cabin rules. Next thing you know it was time for dinner! Fried chicken, mashed potatoes, brocolli, salad, rolls and chocolate cake, oh my!!! We ended dinner with a pledge to be good and treat each other well. After dinner we had our a swim test for all of our first time campers. We are getting ready for our cabin photo scavenger hunt. Each cabin runs around camp searching out objects or certain people, take the picture and move on to the next thing. They have 30 minutes to get as many as possible. It is a great way to introduce the different areas of camp and work as a team. As soon as they finish with that activity it is on to counselor skits. Each activity participates in a skit to introduce their activity and themselves. They have been practicing all week and excited to finally perform for their campers. The evening ends with store and then it is off to bed. Back in the cabin it is time to brush teeth, get clean and ready for bed. But, wait there is more…. Once everyone is in bed they will do their nightly cabin gathering. They talk and get to know each other better and begin the bonds that will last a lifetime. Sleep will be welcomed by all. Goodnight and please don’t worry, we will take good care of your most precious children. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of their wonderful lives. Sleep well. We will check in again tomorrow for an update. Watch for pictures going up either tonight or in the morning!
