Only a couple of days have passed since camp began, but there is so much to share.

After a delicious sphaghetti dinner on Saturday evening campers joined their counselor's for the first program planning of the session. Campers chose from classes including Monkey Business (low ropes course), Nature Mosaics, Beginning Guitar, Spelunking, Fab 5 (swimming lessons), Costume Design, Patchwork Pillows, Pane in the Glass (stained glass), and Trip to India. Following program planning campers headed back to their bunks to get some rest for the first full day of camp.

Sunday morning began with the first morning meeting followed by Big Living Unit time during which each living unit (Dorms, Cabins, and Tent Unit) mingled and got to learn fun facts about their counselors and fellow campers. The rest of the day included more bunk time, a swim at the waterfront and a quick trip to the health center to meet the nurse. In the evening campers gathered as living units and worked together to determine which interesting and zany facts belonged to which counselors. We learned that Danny has roasted marshmallows over lava, Hannah has lived next to 3 US presidents, Erin spent 4 days in Panama with an indigenous counselor making chocolate and Jake and Kerry traveled across the US for 5 weeks together.

Yesterday was the first day of classes which culminated in a Pirates vs Vikings capture the flag game. Always a camp favorite, capture the flag did not disappoint! After dinner this evening campers will enjoy a carnival, and tomorrow night a camp fire. With sunny, warm days and cool evenings perfect for a good night's sleep we're sure to have a fantastic week ahead!
