Session 2 Day 3

Siegfried was a slug
But he’s not your average bug
You can love him like a brother or a sister or a dog
But you just can’t give him a hug

I’ll tell you why
He’s just to slimy, too slimy to slimy
And he’s really really small, really small, really really small
And you don’t know where he’s going, where’s he going, where’s he going
Look he’s climbing up the wall, up the wall, up the wall.

Siegfried was a slug
But he’s not your average bug
You can’t tell the front from the back sometimes
But he sure can cut a rug

UH-UH UH UH UH
UH UH UH UH UH
UH UH UH UH UH
Funky cold slug

UH-UH UH UH UH
UH UH UH UH UH
UH UH UH UH UH
Funky cold slug

1-2-3-4- get your sluggy on the floor
gotta gotta get up to get down,
gotta gotta get up to get down

1-2-3-4- get your sluggy on the floor
gotta gotta get up to get down,
gotta gotta get up to get down

Siegfried the Slug, was our song choice yesterday! And, might I add, a good one - it was in my head all day!

The past two days have had amazing weather! Sadly, yesterday the wind picked up in the afternoon, so we had to cancel the two afternoon kayaking sessions.

So far this week, we've had some awesome activities: archery, boulder wall, fairy finding, beach games, elimination, hobbit heroes, and even keep the balloon in the air! Tonight we will have a choose your own adventure all camp!

Have a great day!

Session 2 Day 1

We welcome you to Camp Westwind
We're mighty glad you're here,
We'll send the air reverberating
With a mighty cheer
We'll sing you in,
We'll sing you out,
To you we give a mighty shout HOORAY
Hail, hail the gang's all here,
Welcome to Camp Westwind!

WELCOME SESSION 2 CAMPERS (and the parents reading the blog)! We are very grateful for the nice sunny day for check in. Campers are all in, in their cabin groups, and getting ready to watch some amazing Interest Group skits! Tonight, we'll have some move in time, flag, dinner, a campfire, and loads of songs!

Session 1 Day 6

Well I live in the mountains
And I sleep beneath the rocks
The only thing that makes me happy
IS my favorite pair of socks
Because they smell like COCONUTS,
THEY SMELL LIKE COCONUTS,
THEY SMELL LIKE
CO-CO-NUTS

Well, I went to Seattle
To become a rock star
But I didn't really make it
No I didn't get very far
So I had to sleep in my car
And it SMELLS LIKE COCONUTS,
IT SMELLS LIKE COCONUTS
IT SMELLS LIKE CO-CO-NUTS

Well my car caught on fire
Caused by a wire
It burnt down to the ground
All that's left was a tire
So I took a magic carpet
And I flew it to the beach
And I landed in some lotion
And it smelled like a PEACH?!
A PEACH!
NO!
IT SMELLED LIKE COCONUTS
IT SMELLED LIKE COCONUTS
IT SMELLED LIKE COCONUTS
IT SMELLED LIKE CO-CO-NUUUTS

Now that you all just sang that song to yourselves, it was almost like you were here at lunch! Today's lunch was a singing lunch! For those of you who haven't been to camp before, what this means is singing is always happening... Not just any singing but Disney songs, Camp Songs, and other random songs. And the best one from today was THE COCONUT SONG!

We also had a challenge at breakfast to see if Calypso (the camp Artist) could go through lunch without smiling... Well, she did pretty well, until the Sherwood boys made her smile. So, she walked up and down the Lodge like a chicken, followed by Ukulele dressing up in a dress.

The Teen Leads just came back from an amazing two night overnight too!

On the list right now, we are in the middle of Round Robins: free choice activity periods. This week, the activities are Bouldering Wall, Archery, Ocean Dipping, Self Portraits, and Slip N Slide.

We can't believe today is the last full day of the Session 1! We were having so much fun, we didn't even notice the days fly by. Tonight's campfire is run by the Teen Leads, I can't wait!

Quote:
Bumble's Cabin did a random Wiggle Walk (absolute amazing activity that can't be described in words, similar to scavenger hunt, but way more awesome).

Bumble asked her cabin to find something that reminded them of camp. Campers came out with pants on their heads, shorts, wacky hair, etc. When Bumble asked why it reminded them of camp, camper responds, "Because camp is where you can be yourself and unique. You can even wear shorts and be different too, and no one will think you are weird."

Session 1 Day 5

Good morning all my Camp Westwind friends,
With your hair just as straight as mine
Good morning all my Camp Westwind friends
You're surely lookin' fine
Out of your pajamas and into your togs
Hopping down to breakfast like a bunch of frogs
Good morning all my Camp Westwind friends
With your hair just as straight as
Teeth just as white as, smile just as bright as mine

Who doesn't like to start their mornings off with a camp song? Well, today's weather is looking to be amazing! The sun is already out, as camp starts to fill back up with the noise of campers and staff. Camp was out on their overnight last night, which we are grateful that the weather was nice.

Hello Camp Westwind Followers!

Welcome to our new blog that is finally up and running. Session 1 is already three days in and going great! It rained a bit at camp today canceling the Challenge Course outdoors, but everything was a go! We had a Rainbow Olympics All-Camp where campers were split into different colored teams and participated in fun events such as: Extreme Water Relay Race, Elimination, Predator & Prey, Tumbling Pyramid O' Cups, S'more Spectacular.

Earlier this week, we also had a campfire, interest groups, climbing on the new bouldering wall, as well as shooting on our new archery range, and more!
