Camp For All Kids

A Great Start to the Weekend!

July 3, 2022

It’s hard to believe that we are over halfway through our first session! Time is flying here in Eagle River filled with fun days and amazing nights!

Yesterday campers participated in their scheduled activities. Our kitchen staff prepared an amazing meal day centered around their home country’s cooking! Breakfast was make your own breakfast burrito, lunch was tacos al pastor and dinner was chicken flautas with rice and beans! It was a beautiful day on Meta Lake making it perfect for waterfront activities and more! Our Friday night consisted of Mari VS Meta capture the flag (finishing in a staff versus senior cabin game)! At our campfire, cabin one and two campers gave speeches about bravery. Campers spoke about their fear while getting on the bus and how at camp they have met new people, tried new activities and had new experiences. Each of your campers have displayed bravery at camp this summer through facing challenges and working towards new goals. We also spoke at the campfire about our Marimeta Moral; “Stand for what is right, even if you are standing alone.” Of our many goals at camp, we aim to foster brave, strong women and talk with the girls often about standing up for the right thing, even when it is the hard thing to do.

Today, we had another normal day of activities. Lunch was macaroni and cheese with pita sandwiches and dinner was chicken kabobs. During our general activity sign up at lunch today, we had a camper display exactly what Marimeta is about. General, our camp free period, is when our campers can choose what they want to do each day. We have open activities that all can attend, a few sign up activities, or campers can shower, play games, write letters, or hang out with a friend. One of our campers signed up for high ropes during lunch. Afterwards she came to our lodge staff and asked if she could give her spot to a friend. When we explained that she is also entitled to have time at the sign up activity, she explained that she has participated in high ropes a few times already and her friend had not. Camp is a place where the girls learn not only to take care of themselves but also of each other.

This evening, we had our very special tradition of 5 year night. When a camper has attended Marimeta for 5 summers, she receives a special 5 year jacket and partakes in a traditional ceremony of receiving it. This tradition has been occurring for many, many years and it is extraordinarily special to watch generations of Marimeta campers learn to call this place their summer home.

Tomorrow is lazy day filled with sleep ins, cabin meetings, MTV practice, cabin activities, a cookout, and more!

Goodnight!

Love the happy times,

Jami
