Today was a much anticipated day in the campers’ minds: TRACK MEET!! The day started off gathered around the flag pole and the campers were welcomed with waffles and peanut butter, hot chocolate and cereal! Following breakfast the campers cleaned their cabin and headed off to the A field to begin track meet! The events that took place were standing long, running long jump, softball throw, 50 yard dash, and mid distance run! The campers cheered on their respective teams (green and white). The morning ended with a general swim in which the campers all went in with a buddy to swim around! Dinner was a track and field classic: ham and buttered noodles, corn, wheat bread, and tossed salad! Following dinner the campers went to their cabin to lay down and (hopefully) write letters during rest hour. Immediately after rest hour was the marathon, a race down camp road that ends at the lakeside washstand. After the marathon was our team triathlon, which involves passing a baton between runners, swimmers, and boaters. Everyone has a part in this relay. Next up was swim races where campers could compete against others in their swimming area to earn points for their team. The campers were very hungry after all of the events that took place in the afternoon, so supper tonight was pickup! This is the camp version of leftovers and it’s a great chance to eat something you enjoyed again! After supper we had our classic track and field day evening program: a series of different relays where green and white teams in each area compete against each other in soccer ball kicking, dodgeball passing, hoola hooping, and an obstacle course.
