Session 1, Day 3



Another gorgeous day at camp! I can't believe how lucky we are... Right now, I would like you to close your eyes. Imagine that you can hear the calm of the ocean waves crashing in a near distance. Now you can see the sun setting over the water and Three Rocks. The sky is turning an orange, pink, yellowy color, and darkness is slowly creeping it's way in. Okay, wake up!

Like I said, today was another wonderful day here at camp! The campers are having loads of fun tidepooling, playing elimination, making salmonberry snowcones, and other fun unit interest group activities. After lunch, cabins had a pack-out lunch that allowed them to have a picnic where ever they choose. Some ate on the porch, some at the campfire, on the steps, and on the beach. Other campers (in Highlands) hiked to High Meadow today, and "enjoyed being on top of the clouds."

Now, main camp is quiet. Campers and staff dispersed to their overnights around 4:00 this afternoon. They are going to learn to cookout their own food, and enjoy (hopefully) sleeping under the stars. And, Teens has begun their two night overnight!

I am very impressed with our campers and staff. They are all an amazing group of people to have this first session of camp!

Menu:
Breakfast - pancakes, sausage, breakfast bar, bagel/toast bar, orange, apple, and grape juice.
Lunch - make your own sandwiches (kids are really enjoying our new sandwich bar of making their own sandwiches. Some of them even come back for seconds!)
Dinner - Pack-out for overnights!
