We had a wonderful Visiting Day yesterday and enjoyed opening campus to so many families, friends and siblings. Everyone basked in the sunshine and appreciated the occasional breeze that would pass through campus. Festival performances from the A Capella group, reggae band, step class, air band, and others kept the audience entertained before many campers enjoyed the afternoon off campus with family and friends. We even had an impromptu whole camp dance party last night before bed! After a busy day we were happy to have a delayed wake-up this morning followed by a Sunday-style morning meeting with a friendship theme.
If you were able to join us for visiting day you saw first hand some of the activities campers have been participating in and the finished products from some of our art classes. During week two campers participated in classes including Isn't it Organic, The Sandlot (baseball), Paper making, Canoeing, Jam Band, Jog with me, Outdoor Cooking, Puppet High Tea, West African Dancing and Paper Mache bowls. A few trips off campus have taken our LITs (Leaders In Training) to Vermont where they did some community service and explored Burlington, a green team class to a local farm, and our international campers to Boston where they were able to walk along the harbor, cool off in a fountain (be sure to look for photos) and explore Faneuil Hall.
In the evenings campers have kept busy with activities including a "who-done-it" mystery adventure, camp fires, Jabborwocky (a two-headed camp legend which campers defeated with team work)and bunk nights. On Wednesday each large living unit participated in their own activity. The Tent Unit had a hunger banquet, the cabin boys played Gatorball (a Windsor Mountain original sport combining the rules of many more traditional sports), and the dorm girls had a spa night. A variety of activities indeed!
In the next week we look forward to hosting an open water swim meet for some of our campers and kids from the local YMCA (this afternoon) and international day - complete with internationally themed meals.
A quick reminder for parents who are picking their children up on July 22 - please plan to be at camp around 9:30am. Morning meeting ends around that time and you'll be able to meet your camper(s) on the deck and then collect their luggage.
Looking forward to week three!
