After check-in on Sunday, campers were excited to begin our first full day of camp! We woke up to a beautiful sunrise and light breeze, which was much appreciated given the warm temperature.
Breakfast consisted of waffles and peanut butter (or butter, if preferred) and then campers and staff went back to their cabins to clean and get ready for morning classes. After camp duties (everyone helps to keep camp clean!), seniors started off in swimming, lakeside started with arts & crafts, and hilltop started with sports. The lake was perfect for swim lessons; everyone stayed in the entire time and enjoyed cooling off. Campers were able to start projects in arts & crafts and played the name game in sports. During smallcraft, campers listened to safety rules so they can begin rowing, canoeing, and sailing tomorrow.
During Counselors’ Swim, some campers took advantage of the beautiful weather and went fishing or boating with friends. For dinner, we had chicken tenders with corn and rice, with butterscotch pudding for dessert. Campers then headed off to store and Rest Hour. Following Rest Hour, campers went in the water for their first General Swim of the session. Most campers stayed in for the entire swim; the water was perfect!
During Activity Period, campers were able to go sailing on the Sunfish and the Hunter (our large sailboat), to jump off the tower (we had 27 people, so there were a few rotations!), to draw, and to make friendship bracelets.
For supper, we had Tacos with all the fixings and chocolate cake for dessert. Following supper, campers went to the A-Field for Evening Program, which was Medical War (dodgeball). They had a great time and were able to cool off with a quick dip in the lake before bed.
We look forward to tomorrow!
