Session 2 Day 7



Today was a glorious day!  We woke up, and guess what..... THERE WAS NO RAIN!!!  Woohoo!! It was our second sunny day of Session 2, first for Mini Camp B! It was a great day, I can't tell you enough.  

This morning, Uncle Bliss (Alpine Boy's Cabin) led flag with a laugh circle to celebrate all the fun times we've had this session, followed by a few songs to get the blood flowing.  Breakfast was next! Chocolate chip pancakes, sausage, apple juice, and the usual bread, cereal & breakfast bar.

Campers did our camp good today by doing service projects around camp.  Alpine rearranged the elimination court (on the beach), making it more even for both sides to play.  Highlands & Sherwood worked hard creating some plaques for the cabins.  They aren't quite done yet, but some cabins worked on them after campfire tonight as well.  Teens spent time pulling scotch broom to clear trails.  

After a good lunch of grilled cheese, cream of broccoli soup & salad bar, campers were at it again!  Teens headed down to the barn for some archery & soccer time.  They were REALLY into their soccer game to, it was great!  Best game of soccer I've seen played down there. They didn't do too bad at archery either. 

Alpine didn't join us in the Lodge for lunch today, instead they did a pack out lunch and hit the trail.  Which trail you may ask, but the Cascade Head trail of course!  The Alpine unit packed their lunches, grabbed the kayaks and hiked up mountain. I took a walk on the spit today, and was able to see the campers on the hill.  :D  

Sherwood cabins had a ton of fun today as well! Hidel (ZigZag's cabin) spent some time in the cove playing games and cards, and then at the beach.  They didn't just play at the beach though, they dug a massive hole.  So big intact, that they reached water! Mycelium & Peep's cabins went kayaking, river dipping, spent time in the cove where they had a mini dance party! 

Highlands had a lucky day of showers! Yes! They also spent the day relaxing in the cove and playing games. 

Dinner today, as one camper said, is "bittersweet."  It's their favorite meal, but it's the last one... Can you guess what it was?  That's right, if you said BBQ you're right! And, they definitely got their fill of burgers, chips, macaroni salad, beans, fruit mix & lemonade.  '

This evening, was closing campfire lead by our Teen Lead 1's.  They created a party themed campfire that included a dragon, jokes, dragon expert, and songs by other campers and staff.  

Oh, I forgot to mention!  Travel Camp joined us for BBQ dinner tonight and campfire!  They had amazing adventures across the states they went to, and had an amazing time.  They were so hungry by the time they got to camp, that some of them had FOUR hamburgers! 


Sadly, tomorrow is the end of another amazing session, and the end of Travel Camp 2012.
