Thursday Already?

How can it be Thursday already? This week has flown by!

Everyone slept hard last night after dancing our hearts out in the lodge at our black light dance party. 
Highlands and Alpine had a sleep in breakfast in bed where the staff hiked in pancakes and sausage to the campers. 

The Alpine unit packed up sack lunches and set out to kayak across the river and take the day to hike up Cascade Head.  Hoping they will stay dry and maybe even get a glimpse of some sunshine.

Teen Leadership 2 campers are kayaking to Otis up the river and having their lunch there.  This is a tradition that has been going for many years and the campers were anxious to get on the river.

Highlands is setting up for a spa party this afternoon and part of me wonders if this is their way to get the campers to get their feet and hands really clean?!

What a week it has been! So much packed into such a short time.  The staff have worked really hard to make sure they get the campers outside even in the rain.  I am sure campers are going home with luggage that weighs much more than it did coming in thanks to the mixture of sand and rain but what we really hope is that they are coming home with great memories, gained confidence and independence, new friends and songs that they will sing throughout the year!

Thank you for trusting us with your children and for believing in the ywca Camp Westwind program!
