Is there Enough Time?

 We woke up this morning and it was WEDNESDAY already!  Where has the time gone?  We have had so much fun and there is so much to do.  So our campers got up and really worked hard cleaning to try to obtain the elusive golden faucet award.  Once things were cleaned they headed to breakfast to fill up for what would be an exciting day.  This morning for breakfast our campers had French toast sticks and a choice of fresh fruits, cereal, and other fun stuff.

After flag raising it was time to spread out and get the day's activities going.  Our younger campers make up the Head, Heart, Hands, groups.  Our older youth are in the Earth, Sun, Adventurer, and Trekker groups.  Being this is Wednesday our Trekkers are packing up this morning for their trip to canoe in a river and do real rock wall climbing so they will be headed out on an adventure.  These older campers will return on Thursday afternoon and we can't wait to hear all about their fun.

Our campers today got to go on a fossil hunt, go creek stomping, they visited the arts and crafts shelter, there was the Yoga and meditation time, and of course the pool.  All of this before lunch which was grilled chicken sandwiches, chips, and it was just right for our campers who are expending a ton of energy having fun.

In the afternoon we had the climbing wall, pool, creek stomping, horses. and more.  Also in the afternoon we have our ever popular camp store.  Camp store is where our youth can get a snack and drink and have a little rest time in the rec hall playing four square and other team building games.  After a quick break it was time to hit the camp and finish our fun activities today.

Tonight for dinner we had a camper favorite of meatballs and spaghetti.  Of course we needed some breadsticks to make this a complete Italian feast.  It was topped off by vanilla cake with icing.  Let me just say we had some happy campers.  Of course after dinner it is time for flag lowering and the announcement of the cleanest cabin award.  Tonight was a total upset.  The girls swept the top three positions with cabin 3, 2, and 1 taking the golden faucet, the silver toiler seat, and the bronze tooth brush.

Our evening activity was the ever popular talent show.  We had youth dancing, singing, doing magic, gymnastics, slight of hand and more entertainment.  We had so much talent there we had to take an intermission and then go back for the big acts.  After the talent we hit the showers (really) and then off to bed.  Tonight we noticed many of the cabins shut lights off early and campers were out cold even before our normal lights out.
