Camp For All Kids

Love, The Lodge: Let the Games Begin!

July 22, 2015

Good morning!

Another bright and sunny day here at Marimeta! Yesterday, we began our first full day of regular activities. Just as a reminder, activities that occur on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are called, “K” Day activities, which is short for “Kindness.” Conversely, activities that occur on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays are called, “G” Day activities, which is short for “Gratitude.” Look out for this special lingo in the letters you receive from your daughters!

After a delicious dinner, we announced the evening program, “Mudpie Relays.” With bursts of excitement and curiosity, the campers gathered in smalls groups in the middle of the field. The objective of the game is to collect an array of items with the goal of building a “mudpie.” The items are collected by figuring out a series of clues, which all lead to a different location around camp.  The items included: graham cracker crust, chocolate pudding, Oreos, gummy worms, licorice, sprinkles, frosting and whipped cream. After collecting all the items, the groups competed in a mudpie decorating face-off. Our judges scored on the most creative pie versus the most visually appealing pie. This led our girls to come up with some pretty unique treats! One of our favorites was a messy pie that followed one of our Marimeta sayings, “It’s what’s on the inside that counts.” It was a great evening activity!

Now for the moment you (and your daughters) have all been waiting for…RED AND WHITE ANNOUNCEMENT 2015! 

Following the evening activity, the counselors quickly, and subtlety, got their cabins settled in early. Every night, we play a bedtime song called, “TAPS” which signals the end of the evening. Upon the conclusion of TAPS, all of the counselors ran into their cabins, wearing black face paint and bandanas, with whistles blowing. In military fashion, they ordered their cabins to line up, single-file, and to start marching. Shouting, “left-right-left”, the entire camp marched towards the High Ropes course. Arriving at the High Ropes course, the Senior Cabin girls got into a circle and anxiously awaited to find out their teams and captains. Suddenly, the entire Lodge staff emerged wearing camouflage holding a pole filled with military style dog tags. Each individual dog tag had your daughter’s name on it, and the color of the yarn signified what team they were on. Before announcing captains, Sargent Terry commanded our Senior Cabin girls to complete some quick bootcamp training to make sure that they were truly ready to lead camp. After passing their drills, the announcement of the captains began. Congrats to our overall captains – Katie and Emma  – and the rest of the our 2015 Red and White captains! We are so proud of all of you and cannot wait to watch you lead your teams. Let the games begin!

After an exciting evening, the whole camp went to bed in all smiles. Looking forward to another fabulous day!

Love,

The Lodge
