Campers woke up for the first full day of camp this morning, and it did not disappoint!
Breakfast was waffles, cereal, and yogurt! Some campers and staff (like myself) ate our waffles with peanut butter and syrup, and to drink we had orange juice and hot cocoa.
Unfortunately, today was rainy from around 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., so all classes and activities were held indoors. Boating classes learned the rules of boating and the parts of a rowboat, while swimming classes played Scattergories! Arts and Crafts was held as usual, and sports classes were in the upper lodge.
Dinner was chicken tenders and rice, with butterscotch pudding for dessert. After the meal ended, campers went to the Camp Store to get a piece of candy for the first Rest Hour. During Rest Hour, campers have options of different quiet activities, including sleeping, reading, writing letters home, playing cards, or anything else that won't disturb the cabin!
Many counselors like to sleep during Rest Hour :)
With the weather still cold and rainy, there was no General Swim today. Instead, we had a camp-wide sing-a-long! Songbooks were handed out so that everyone could learn the words to popular camp songs, and we sang for nearly half an hour.
Tonight for supper, we had tacos! Dessert was a delicious vanilla cake, which the campers all loved! After supper was our Evening Program, and tonight we played Reverse Scavenger Hunt. In this game, each cabin brings 10 items with them and acts out different skits. The cabin with the best skit in their age group wins a point!
The rain has stopped for tonight, and the weather looks nice and sunny tomorrow! We'll have our first classes on the lake, and everyone is excited for the morning to come.
See you all tomorrow!
