We left the 4-H office bright and early however Mother Nature was not cooperating. We left in quite a storm and by the time we made it to our destination it was clear as could be. All the campers jumped in the pool and had a magnificent swim to start the day off. After getting out and getting dried off it was time for a few quick rec hall games before heading to the dining hall for for lunch.
Lunch included a make your own sandwich selections, tat or tots, peas, and a sugar cookie for dessert. Now admittedly we had some entertainment during lunch that ewe weren't expecting. Mother Nature put together quite the fireworks show complete with her own music selection. Now her selection of the audio portion was quite load, and the storm knocked out the power. So let me say now how proud I am of our campers who hung in there, even though the elements were tough. The staff was exceptional getting up and leading camp songs for about an hour and getting everyone involved in the fun.
When Mother Nature let up and the power was restored it was time to vacate the dinning hall and head out into the wilderness. Admittedly it was not that far into the wilderness, actually just around the dinning hall. We had youth at the craft shelter making old fashioned lanyards. Another group was in the rec hall playing games. The last group was at the Nature Shelter talking nature, animals, insects, and playing games.
At 3:45 it was time to load up and head home. The rain made the day a little different but we had a good day and are looking forward to returning tomorrow.
