Apologies for the two day break in blogging—there has just been so much excitement and so much to do! Sunday was our track and field meet which was tons of fun. The weather was perfect for the day, as it was cooler and overcasting making it easier to run around camp. There was lots of cheering, running, jumping, swimming, and the campers loved it all. Stay tuned for updates on who won!
Today started with cinnamon bread for breakfast paired with orange juice to drink. Secret sister was announced this morning as well, which is where a camper randomly picks a name out of a hat and gets to do nice things for their person. This could be something as simple as giving them a compliment, or it could be a more timely endeavor such as painting them a tote bag. It was a windy day, making it perfect for sailing. Despite the breeze, the water today was comparable to bathwater, and the campers were eager to swim in it during their swimming lessons. For dinner we had chicken parm with spaghetti and a side salad. Desert was our delicious sweet peaches. After rest hour, we all gathered up on the field for a game of Non-Stop-Cricket. Essentially, it is like baseball, but one team keeps hitting until everyone is out rather than three outs. It was lots of fun, and close too (33-31)! For supper we munched on grilled cheese and tomato soup! Dessert was a camp favorite: chocolate pudding pie! Yum! Due to the small amounts of rain we had this afternoon, we played Murder by Night. This is a game that is like a camp version of Clue, where the campers try to find the “murderer” of a staff member on their day off. RIP Emma:( Apparently our counselor Devon was the “murderer!” The game was lots of fun, and so was today. We are looking forward to the predicted hot days ahead!
