Slow Down, You Move Too Fast…

August 3, 2022

We are begging for time to slow down over here. It is so sad that we are in the home stretch of the summer of 2022. The past few days have been busy and full of fun.

On Sunday we had our lazy day morning where campers can sleep in until 10:30 a.m. Campers then switched beds for the final time for the session! Breakfast was lazy breakfast, lunch was lox and bagels, and dinner was a cookout! Sunday afternoon, we held our water relays. Water relays are a Red and White event where campers partake in various water-related events. Events include greasy watermelon (grabbing a watermelon covered in shortening and carrying it across the water to the winning area), filling a pitcher with water from water dripping from you from running in the lake, paddleboarding races, and more! After the cookout for evening program, we had Cabin Sing. Campers work with their cabin during this activity to write and perform an announcement, mess hall, or campfire song!

Yesterday was a regular day of activities! Breakfast was cinnamon rolls, lunch was ravioli, and dinner was curry chicken with rice! For our evening program campers participated in the Hatchet Hunt. During this game, cabins work as a team to look around camp for a hidden “hatchet”. We read clues to the campers which are extremely vague at the beginning and get more specific as the rounds pass. Once a clue is read, teams have one minute to discuss where they will send their runners to. Campers then have two minutes to run and check the location for the hatchet. If a team’s runner does not return in time, they lose a runner for the next round. The girls love this game and get very into it!

Today was another normal day of activities! We experienced some rain this afternoon so we had a cabin jacks tournament and had a “candy cart” instead of canteen where we drove around canteen to the cabins! It was a fun change of pace! For evening program tonight we had an egg drop. Campers worked on their Red and White little teams to build contraptions with materials we gave them including a cup, toilet paper, garbage bag, string, rubber bands, paper, and popsicle sticks. We had two rounds of drops, first from the steps near our arts and crafts room, and then eggs that survived were dropped from our high ropes course. Some of the eggs were able to survive even a drop from the ropes course! Meals today were pancakes for breakfast, grilled cheese and tomato soup for lunch, and steak fajitas for dinner!

Tomorrow we will continue our normal activities and have a surprise evening program :) Please be on the lookout over the next few days for emails with important information regarding enrollment for next summer as well as transportation details for August 10th.

Love the happy times,

Jami
