It's chilly and overcast here at the coast but you would never know. Kids are running around outside, paddling in kayaks, shooting arrows and chasing unicorns (or a staff person dressed up as a unicorn).
Yesterday as the campers crossed into camp we were coming up with alternative plans for dinner. The power in Lincoln County was out and that included all the power here at camp. It's an exciting way to welcome in 120 campers! We decided to have BBQ for dinner which is what we normally do on the last night. We talked about having a whole backwards week but since the power came on just a hour before dinner we decided to have camp as usual. BBQ dinner was a great hit and of course we had Sundae Sundays to wrap up the meal.
Campfire last night provided many laughs; campers doing skits, magic tricks and singing songs.
We got a special treat when the travel camp campers showed up in time for campfire! They had an amazing time on their road trip and shared many stories.
The Teen Lead and Teen Adventure are packing up now for their overnights.
Pictures of the session thus far can been viewed on our flickr site here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/campwestwind/sets/72157634857051010/
A quote from a camper this morning.
Me: "What is your favorite thing about camp?"
Camper: "I get to make new friends and my mom isn't here to choose who my new friends are."
Campers are learning important skills at camp in a safe environment!
For now,
Pickle
