Session 4, Day 5

We sure have had a lot of fun this session! I can't believe that the camp session is over tomorrow! It has been a quick week yet again! I'm not sure where all of our time went.

Since our overnight, we've had tons of fun. Yesterday was our all-camp event. It was (of course) Harry Potter themed. The campers were able to get their "fortunes" read, grab some butterbeer, decorated wands, hot cocoa, sought out the horcruxes, and watched the staff act out scenes from the movie. It was great! It ended in a dance party, and all the children seemed to really enjoy it.

Today, we did some service projects at camp. They did garbage pick-up, pulled up thistle, moved the benches down by campfire, and the teens built stairs. They did a fabulous job and both Camp Westwind and the Westwind Stewardship Group both appreciate the campers taking care of our magnificent program.

This afternoon:
- Sherwood spent time at the Barn (archery, bouldering wall, soccer) and at aquatics (kayaking, mudmucking, ocean dipping - their choice).
- Highlands spenti time at aquatics and the Barn as well! There is a really awesome video that Daisy (our own camp paparazzi) took... Unfortunately, I can't get blogger to upload any videos! But, they will be on the DVD.... ;D If you are interested in purchasing that, you can do some on your UltraCamp account. Questions about it, feel free to call Sassy Sarah, the Office Manager, she would love to help you out!
- Alpine had a sleep in breakfast, beach games, lodge hangout, challenge course and had a few value sessions.
- Teens, they are awesome! Today they prepared for the campfire, taking gravel to Highlands, and SHOWERED!! I have to say, Harry Potter + High School Musical + Teens = one EPIC campfire!

I hope you all and a wonderful evening and week!

Happy Camping!
