Getting the Hang of Things

   You could say it was a picture perfect day at camp as our campers woke up to clear skies and temperatures in the low 70's.  Our campers knew this was the time to get those cabins clean to either defend their title as the cleanest cabin, or bring the heat and the clean to challenge those who took home the awards the night before.

  Campers headed up to the flag pole for flag raising and breakfast.  This morning they had bacon, eggs, bagels, and other options like cereal and cottage cheese.  There is no reason for anyone to go hungry at camp.  Although with all the energy they put out each day its no wonder that they show up famished.  

  Once they had nourishment it was time to hit the camp.  Our youngest campers got to go canoeing on Lake Hazel today.  No worries for those who are not strong swimmers because everyone wears a life jacket if they even go near the lake.  Our next oldest youth went to archery and got to play some cool games.  The Health and Earth Groups took off for the swimming pool, because that is the best way to stay cool.  The Sun group headed to horses while our oldest campers in Adventurer and trekkers went up to the ropes course to learn how to climb, jump, and walk high up in the air (with a harness and rope attached(.

After rotating activities it was already time to head to the dinning hall and enjoy lunch.  On the menu today, a kids favorite.; cheeseburgers and fries.  Our campers gobbled it down like it was going out of style.  They also had their cup of water and then juice if they felt the need.  Our camp staff make sure our campers stay hydrated out there.

After lunch campers went out on more adventures.  The Beaver Hike, swimming, fossils, crafts and even Yoga/Meditation time.  Which for some campers meant sitting and meditating, other colored, and some found a whole new way to utilize their yoga mat and get a little shut eye in before the next event.  The next event for half the group was switching activities while for the rest it meant camp store.  Oh how much fun they have getting a drink and snack every day.  Then it was back to the fun of activities.

Dinner tonight was barbecue chicken, green beans, and mac and cheese.  Table waiters were having to go get lots of second and third bowls of these favorites for their tables. Our campers were full of food and energy of the evening activity.  For half our group that was water sports and the other half got to play games and make s'mores.  

By the time the sun was setting our campers couldn't wait to get showers and hit the hay.  Wednesday has some brand new adventures awaiting them as well as the realization that we are almost half way through our camp week.
