This morning the campers awoke to blueberry bread for breakfast! It has been a new bread this summer that everyone has loved thus far—I think the icing drizzle on top really makes it. The meal was paired with orange juice and cereal of the camper’s choice. After breakfast it was time to get ready for the first day of classes. The girls were eager to hop on into the water for their swimming classes, start up their boating skills again, play hard in sports, and have some fun creating in arts and crafts. For dinner, which is what we call lunch here at Asto Wamah, was Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes and squash. We happily gobbled down vanilla pudding after the meal for dessert. After dinner, it was time for rest hour, a time for the campers to relax and reflect in their bunks quietly for an hour. But first… store! Before rest hour everyday campers are allowed to purchase a candy of their choice or any other necessities. After rest hour the girls gathered up to the A-field because we had a little twist to our normal day. Two of our most beloved twins at camp, Sami and Leann, had their birthday today, and their mom got an ice cream truck to come and treat the whole camp to frozen treats. I think the most popular choices were the chipwiches and the bomb pops. After this excitement we headed to fourth period to finish up our classes for today. Supper was pulled pork with chips and apple sauce, and a camp favorite, apple crisp, for dessert. Currently the girls are up on the A-field playing capture the flag which is always competitive and fun. Everyone seems very content and excited for tomorrow. Until then!
