Camp For All Kids

Enjoying the Remaining Moments!

August 9, 2022

While we are in our final days of the summer, the fun has certainly not concluded. The past few days have been packed with many exciting events.

On Saturday, we had a jam-packed day filled with Red and White events. Due to predicted bad weather on Sunday, we decided to move our All Camp Relay to Saturday Morning (and of course the dome malfunctioned and it didn’t end up raining on Sunday)! Our AC relay took place in the morning ending with our captain’s event of building a fire to burn a rope. The Red Team won with a very close time overall. After our AC relay, we gathered in the mess hall for a favorite lunch of chicken fingers! In the afternoon, campers participated in their regularly scheduled activities. For dinner, we had quesadillas which were followed by The Sing. The Sing is a performance that has been a Marimeta Tradition since its inception. Our Senior Cabin campers teach their teams three camp songs and write a new song aligned with their theme for this summer. This year’s themes were Halloween and Wizard of Oz. Campers practice throughout the entirety of the session, make costumes and learn choreography. The program is entirely camper-led and directed. The creativity, planning, and collaboration are admirable and are one of my favorite things about Marimeta. The way that our oldest campers step up to lead the entire camp is a special thing to witness. We will be posting a video of The Sing so you can see it from home soon!

Yesterday, we had a normal lazy Sunday. Campers woke up and partook in a big cabin clean-up and had cabin meetings. We had potato bar for lunch including cheese curds, pizza, meatballs, Italian beef, and more! After lunch campers participated in the rest of their regular activities. We then had our regular Sunday cabin cookouts, it was burgers on the grill this week! For evening program, campers were able to get canteen and then viewed our Marimeta Production of Grease! Campers of all ages performed in the show acting as pink ladies and greasers! It was a wonderful production that capitalized on not only the talents of our performers but also included a stage crew, camper assistant directors, costume designers, and more!

Today, our wonderful junior counselors planned a college day! Campers were divided into teams and partook in various events including Tug of War, Lip Syncs, Capture the Flag, All Camp Hide and Seek, and more! Breakfast was lox and bagel. Additionally, we had something occur that has never occurred in summer camp history, it was actually a cold enough day for soup bar lunch! Typically at camp, soup bar always falls on a 100-degree day. But today we broke a summer camp record and had soup bar on a chilly Northwoods day. We had a special canteen treat today from Tremblay’s Candy Shop in town. Each camper was able to order two items as part of our town trip and we distributed them today during canteen! This evening we began our banquet awards and afterward watched the 2022 Highlight Video. We will be putting this up on YouTube as soon as possible so you can also see our summer in review!

Tomorrow we will make the most of our day left at camp while packing up your camper. Please be on the lookout on our social media for our virtual lost laundry (often your campers can have trouble identifying their items so we can use all the help we can get)! Our evening program will be our banquet with prime rib for dinner, awards, and captain’s speeches. Afterward, the whole camp will meet at Wilderness Point for our final campfire where counselors will give speeches to their campers and we will sing camp songs one final time for the summer of 2022.

While Nick and I went around to say goodnight to all of the girls tonight, many of them were crying about having to return home. We reminded them how special and lucky they are to have a place they can call home and that they will miss when they leave. It is a testament to the friendships, love, and fun that exist here at camp. And the best thing about camp is, there’s always next year.

Love the happy times,

Jami
