Regular activities June 20, 2012Dear Mom and Dad, Project runway was this morning! It was so funny. We had to dress our counselors in funny costumes having to do with our cabin theme. The winners were cabin 1, cabin 4, and cabin 8. Cabin 1 dressed up Jen as the villain from the movie tangled. Cabin 4 dressed up Sammie as the grinch. Cabin 8 dressed up Sophie as an evil prince. Check the pictures, they should be up soon! For lunch we had pita sandwiches. During rest hour, I read a letter from you! I also played tether ball with other kids in my cabin. And then the real fun began! We started normal activities. I had swimming and skiing today. My two favorites! And of course, we had general. I went tubing and also I played jacks in my cabin. I won! Tonight, we are going to play the trunk game. It is one of my favorite games at camp. We have to pick 25 items and put them in a duffel. Then the counselors call out random items and if we have them we get points. Some of the items are really easy, like toothpaste. But, other items are hard like a red shoe. Can’t wait until we have a full day of activities tomorrow!!!!! I love and miss you! MnM, Your Camper
Safety Day June 19, 2012Dear Mom and Dad, Today we had safety day. We started by picking out activities! I picked sailing, skiing, archery, climbing wall, kayak/canoe, and so many more, I’ll send you my schedule later! We then made our bead necklaces. I get beads when I do good things at camp. We went to the health center next. The nurses are so nice!!! They checked me for lice…Don’t worry, I don’t have it. Next, we went to a safety meeting. We went over the rules to make sure everyone has a safe and happy summer. We then got to play a game in the middle of the field. It was a get to know you game. I learned everyone’s name in my cabin! Last, I did the swim test. I got to jump in the lake with my sweats on. It was so funny. I passed, and now I can go sailing, windsurfing, skiing, and all the other fun waterfront activities. It was an awesome day. Tonight is staffingo. We learn all about the counselors and funny facts about them. For example, Mari’s grandma got bit by a lion. Audrey lives on Audrey Lane. Emily was named after Michael Jordan (her middle name is Jordan). Karlee was on MTV cribs. Kendall was on Trading Spaces. And Chloe lives on a farm with 2000 sheep. The counselors are so funny and cool. Tomorrow I start regular activities and I cannot wait! Check for more pictures of me. I’ll be the kid smiling really big! I love and miss you, MnM, Your Camper
First Day of Camp 2012 June 18, 2012Dear Moms and Dads, We are SO excited for the campers to arrive!!! We even have a poll on when the buses will get here. We’ve had a great week of precamp, but all of the counselors are excited for it to be over and for the real fun to begin. This is looking to be one of the greatest summers of all time. This year we have an amazing staff! Look for pictures and bios on the website tomorrow, so when your campers write home, you can see who they are talking about. Tonight will be counselor lip-syncs…a marimeta tradition on the first night of camp. The theme this year is movie songs. Check for pictures and updates later tonight or tomorrow. We just wanted to say thank you for trusting us with your campers. MnM, Marimeta Staff 2012
