Good evening to our Wamah readers!! Today was one of our favorite days and traditions of the session…TRACK AND FIELD DAY!!!!!! We started out the morning with some delicious peach bread with the option of hot or cold cereal as well. Alongside we also had orange juice and some nice hot coco. Following breakfast, instead of our normal daily schedule, we headed up to the A-Field in our Green and White teams to take part in the Running Long Jump, the Standing Long Jump, the Softball Throw, and the 50 Yard Dash where each team had the opportunity to earn points for their prospective team. Following the competitions the campers headed down to a morning general swim to cool off after all the running around. Following the general swim we had our traditional dinner of ham and mashed potatoes with a side of corn, and for dessert the campers had a choice of either orange or raspberry sorbet. Following dinner we had our normal rest hour and then following rest hour the campers had the option to participate in the marathon with is a little under half of a mile which takes place mainly on the camp road. Following the marathon the whole camp participated in the traditional triathlon which consists of running, swimming, and boating. For supper we some yummy left overs, also known as pick up, and same with dessert. For evening program we had camper relay races as well as other fun relay games where the campers could compete against each other to collect more points for their team.
Overall today was a very fun and exciting day here at Asto Wamah and we can not wait to see what the second half of this week brings!!
