Give me a D-U-N-N-Y! Give me a D-A-Y!
What's that spell?
DUNNY DAY!
Yesterday brought us beautiful, sunny weather and one of our favorite activities - Dunny Day. Dunny Day is an afternoon at the waterfront filled with swimming, fancy jumping off the dive tower, rope swinging, canoe races, a sailing regatta, an open water distance swim, smoothies, music, face painting, stenciling, and a BBQ. We even brought one of the ping pong tables down to the waterfront this time! As always it was a blast and we're already looking forward to Dunny Days to come.
Before the start of Dunny Day we began Sunday with donuts for breakfast - a special treat. Following breakfast we gathered for our quaker style Sunday morning meeting. We began with a guided meditation followed by thoughtful comments on the topic of gratitude. Some campers expressed thanks to their parents for sending them to camp, others expressed thanks to their fellow campers for making Windsor Mountain a welcoming place where they could be themselves.
Sunday was certainly an eventful day, but there is much more to share about the rest of the week. Since our last update we've captured the flag, sang songs and listened to stories around the campfire, contra danced with the tent unit, searched for our pack leaders in Alpha Wolves, gone down the zipline, explored the local town of Hillsborough, camped out on the big island, and completed an 80's scavenger hunt - all during evening activity! In the mornings we've celebrated Jamaica's independence, been introduced to the story of Peter Pan, learned about Chicken Patties from the LITs, and signed up for more creative, exciting classes. Which classes you ask? Well, some include Canoe Wars, Random Acts of Baking, Archery, Disc Golf, Freakin Batikin, Fun on the Farm, Iron Chef, Risky Business (high ropes), Hard Rock Cafe (off campus climbing trip), Extreme History, Recycled T-Shirts, Post Morning Meeting Challenge, Propaganza, Magical Mystery Tour and Step. Phew! What a selection!?!
There is still more fun to be had this week, but shh the surprise up our sleeves is a secret...
Sunday is Theatre Festival/Visiting Day as well as the final day for many of our campers. Families should arrive at 10:30am. Morning meeting is at 11am, brunch at 12 noon and the Theatre Festival at 1:30pm. If you are picking up your camper on Sunday we welcome and encourage you to stay for the Theatre Festival (which should be finished around 3pm). If you need to pick-up your camper and depart before then please remember to sign them out in the office. If your child is participating in the performance, they will need to be here until the Theatre Festival is complete. Any questions please call 603-478-3166.
We look forward to seeing many of on Sunday. In the meantime, click here for the most recent round of photos.
