Session 5 Day 4

Another wonderful day here at the beach!  The sun has been shining and it has been pretty warm, with a bit of a breeze. 


As I'm writing this, I'm listening to the Alpine girls singing and watching the dance while they sweep.  Did you know that campers don't quite mind sweeping  when they have music to dance to? It makes sweeping a lot better for them! 


During this gorgeous day today, campers came back from their overnights and unpacked their stuff. Some cabins went to the beach, while others showered.  


Sherwood went down to the challenge course and had some really good cabin breakthroughs! 


Alpine did a photo scavenger hunt, and the boys are making dinner for themselves.  


Some cabins are going on ANOTHER overnight tonight (they loved their first one so much)!


Teen Lead 1's learned some improv this afternoon as well as planned campfire. While the Teen Lead 2's planned the all camp (tomorrow), hung out in the art palace, had a value session, and are getting ready to do a camp "practicum" - that is putting all the skills they've learned the last two days together to solve problems. 


Right now, campers are getting ready to play Capture the Flag in the dune grass, while the sun begins to go down. Other campers (Highlands are having a Spa Party, making pudgy pies, cookies, oatmeal masks and other fun). 


'Til tomorrow! Have a wonderful evening!
