Welcome to the third night of camp! Right now, camp is quiet. The campers and staff are having overnights (around camp). Fortunately, the weather held off long enough for them to have afternoon sun, and were able to cook their meals outside. Now, it has begun to rain again, so campers are sleeping all over main camp. Alpine is under the LC, Teens kayaked to the Estuary Spot, Sherwood is in the program side of the lodge, and Highlands has split between the program side of the lodge and are braving outside the lodge in the sand.
Today in units, the camp participated in Interest Groups. A favorite of Alpine was Extreme Napping. This is where they discovered how cool it would be to sleep under the LC! Highlands had build & burn, where they built projects, and then had the opportunity to burn them (in the fire rings of course!). Sherwood's continuous favorite are the fairies! The campers love building fairy houses and writing notes to the fairies! It is so cute!
Now to talk about Teens. Our teens this summer are amazing. The session 4 Teen Leads are on top of their stuff. They are engaged in campers, and are becoming more actively involved in the camp program at a leadership level. They have shadowed counselors twice now, and the staff love having them. They have truly stepped up to the plate!
For those of you who are reading this, I'd like for you to know that we still have openings in our travel camp program. One of the trips leaves Sunday. That program is looking for at least one more camper!! The program is open to teenagers. If you have questions, please contact Sarah "Sassy" at westwind@ywcapdx.org, or Janette "Pickle" at janettek@ywcapdx.org.
Happy Camping!
