Today has been crazy! Campers made it through their overnights last night in the rain. Alpine & Teens experimented with tarp shelters, which worked well and kept them mostly dry. Sherwood/Highlands slept in the Cove last night, to stay dry and warm but were still able to cook their own dinner (in the fire place), and played on the beach until after 9!Today, while the were all coming back fro their overnights, our 13 campers for Mini Camp Session B arrived at Knight Park for crossing. Imagine, all the luggage, staff and campers made it across on ONE boat! That's pretty good I think! Fastest crossing ever!
Sherwood enjoyed some time on the challenge course, headed to the barn for some soccer and archery. Highlands enjoyed some tie dye and art palace
time before spending the afternoon with Blinker learning how to outdoor cook.
Lunch today was delicious! Corn dogs, fries & salad! Mmm! The kids liked it too, because we hardly had any ort (leftover food that we weigh at the end of the meal). This week, we are up to a horrible amount of ort, 21.5 POUNDS in 5 days! That's a LOT of leftover food waste.
Despite the weather raining off and on today, it was quite lovely. I sat with some Alpine boys at dinner, who had a great day! The came back from their overnight, unpacked, played a game in their cabin, played Elimination, build and burn, disk golf, went to Westwind Spalala (I've mentioned it before, but it's our version of a spa) and had TONS of fun at the Estuary kayaking, river dipping, and soaking their counselors in the river!Currently, I'm listening the the laughter and screams (good ones of course) of the campers enjoying our Hunger Games all camp. Learning combat skills (by playing Ninja), outdoor cooking (s'mores), archery, finding the best outfit, and doing their faces for the "Capitol." I think the s'more station is the most popular though!
'til tomorrow, have a wonderful night!
