The sun was shinning bright this morning and the heat finally started to move on in. Even before breakfast campers were talking about how excited they were to have a nice hot day at camp. For breakfast we had bagels and/or cereal, all of which was also served with orange juice. Classes could not have come any quicker, as all of the campers were so eager to hop on into the lake. The water was refreshing and most certainly felt good after being up in sports or out on a boat. For dinner we had ravioli with a side of bread, and it was delicious! Dessert was peaches, which many campers tried and liked. After rest hour we finally had a real deal general swim. There was lots of jumping off of the tower, rings being thrown, and floating around on noodles. Clearly everyone was happy to get cooled off by the lake. Our big sailboat, the Hunter, was finally able to go out today, as the conditions were perfect. The senior girls who went on it had a great time and were able to relax and have lots of laughs. Paddle boards were also taken out, and the campers enjoyed jumping off the best from what it looked like. For supper we had a camp favorite: chicken melts! Rumor has it that cabin 7 ate 40 chicken melts total! As you can see, we sure do love our chicken melts here at camp. Dessert was brownies which everyone was happy about. Evening program tonight was Step It Up, a game where you win beans at mini games and put them in a bucket. Each bucket is held by a counselor who takes a step every time they get a bean. The first team to get from point A to point B wins. The donut team was the clear winner, and it sure was a lot of fun! We are hoping for more days like today!
