Camp For All Kids

XOXO, Your Happy Camper: “Incredible”

June 26, 2015

Hello, from your lovely daughter!

If I could sum up today in one word, I would definitely choose the word incredible. I know I tend to start every letter with, “Camp is great” but today it was truly incredible. Let me tell you about it…

By 8:30 A.M. , my day was off to a great start! The smell of warm croissants filled the mess hall air, which quickly made up for the rainy weather outside. After breakfast and Cabin Cleanup, we played a game called “General Headquarters.” Basically, the Lodge gives every cabin a task to fulfill, ranging from “make up a new evening program” to “design a fashion line complete with a night and day outfit.” Cabins are awarded points for creativity and also for completing the round the fastest. It was so fun! My cabin created a fashion line out of pure duct tape called, “Forever Fashion Tape”: a full line of couture made out of the finest prints and patterns of duct tape.

After General Headquarters, we started working on our “Cabin Sings.” As a cabin we came up with original words for a new Marimeta song. We had so much fun thinking of the lyrics! Hopefully our harmonious voices will pay off and our song will end up in the mess hall – I will keep you posted!

After lunch, the sun came out, and I got to go skiing! I am currently trying to master crossing wakes, which is pretty tricky! I know by the end of my summer I will be crossing wakes effortlessly! Practice make perfect, right?

Now for the most exciting part of the day…MARIMETA LEAGUE WAS ANNOUNCED! I was so surprised!!

You’ll never believe how it happened! At dinner, we were waiting to find out what the evening program was when, all of the sudden, Lillie said, “before finding out what we are doing tonight, you must unscrambled this word: Truoc Sennit. We were all looking around in confusion until Table 14 yelled, “tennis court!” Screaming of excitement, the whole camp sprinted out of the mess hall, across the field, until reaching the tennis courts. There, I found a puzzle piece with my name on it and a yellow smiley face sticker on the other side. I found my other teammates with matching smiley face stickers and sat down with them. Our little team’s counselor poured out a cup full of puzzle pieces, which we then had to put together. It was a challenge, but the pieces formed the letter “I.” The tennis court was covered with little teams trying to figure out what their pieces spelled. It was so cool!

The Senior Cabin, the oldest cabin in camp, was seated in a huge circle. They had a much larger puzzle to figure out. It ended up saying, “Mari + Meta = Marimeta. 12 little letters = One Big Word.” The Senior Cabin then scrambled to put together all of the little teams’ individual letters. After arranging and rearranging the letters, the puzzle spelled out “Climbing Wall”… yes the space caused a little confusion, but we got it nonetheless :)

Again, the whole camp sprinted to the climbing wall to await the announcement of the captains! This was crazy!

The overall captains were Morgan and Nicole! I am so excited for them and can only hope to be like them when I am in Senior Cabin one day. It was such a great announcement!

We ended the fun-filled night by playing “Team Comp” (a.k.a Team Competition). I played dodge ball and had so much fun cheering and competing with my little team!

Well, that marks the end to my incredible day, I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!

Off to bed, night all.

XOXO,

Your Happy Camper
