Day 1 at Camp Slides By



It was a busy day as our campers hit the ground not necessarily running but sliding by. The morning started with a hot breakfast and flag raising. After it was off to activities. Some campers climbed to new heights on the rock wall while others climed onto horses and galloped off (to the other side of the ring). Our older youth took to the woods for orientiering, canoes for canoeing of course and then there were those who felt swimming in the lake was the way to go. We had swimming tests in the pool, archery and hopefully some rest time.

After a delicious make your own taco dinner it was time for water sports. There were relay races where the youth had to spin around five times, grab a water filled sponge and race down the hill to squeeze the water into a bucket. First team to fill their bucket wins. There were relay races in the swimming pool and a wet parachute game or two. The real event of the night was the slip and slide. As youth hit the plastic sheet they sailed down toward the cabins with water hitting their bodies and grins on their faces. There were shreks of laughter everywhere as everyone played until they were exhausted.

As I type everyone is tucked into their sleeping bags and should be sound asleep resting up for all of tomorrow's action. Stay tuned for more fun notes and photos as we head into our next day of camp.
