Packing In All of The Fun!

We’ve had a busy few days up at camp! We have been packing in all the fun including regularly scheduled activities, special evening programs, and more! Here are some highlights from the past few days at camp!

Wednesday

Meals: French Toast, Cibatta Sandwiches, Turkey and Gravy

For town night we rented out the Eagle River movie theatre to watch Super Pets! Each camper got a soda and popcorn! The girls loved the movie and it was a fun surprise to get out of camp for the evening!

Thursday

Meals: Blueberry Muffins, Italian Beef, Chicken Schwarma

After a full day of regular activities, we had a social with Menominee! Menominee hosted a carnival for us where campers planned booths and prizes. Jason, the owner of Menominee, runs a podcast and invited Nick and me on it! You can listen to the episode here.  Additionally, some of our campers participated in Camp Kawaga’s 50th annual Waterski Tournament! There were various events including slalom skiing and wakeboarding!

Friday

Meals: Egg Fritatta, Make your own bowls with quinoa, chicken, and veggies, Spaghetti Bolognese

We had a hot day on Meta Lake today. We packed in activities, sing practice, and water games during general including a slip and slide and a water balloon fight. Tonight we played our last game of Capture the Flag for the summer and then had our Captain’s campfire where our color war captains gave speeches. At the campfire, I shared a story that has been shared for many years at Marimeta. You can read it here.  In our final days at camp, I reminded the girls that they can be difference makers no matter where they go. While there’s still plenty of camp left, we spoke about making the most of every remaining moment they have.

Tomorrow and Sunday will be packed with exciting events including our All Camp Red and White Relay, our camp production of Grease, and The Sing!

Love the happy times,
