The lake was perfectly still this morning when we came together as a camp for breakfast. On today’s menu: pancakes! They were a sweet start to a sweet day! Morning classes continued as normal with many very eager to best their skills in swimming and boating. The arts and crafts room floor has many more painting on it—a beautiful camp touch to the lower lodge! You could hear the cheers and laughter coming down from the sports classes up on the A-field all day. For dinner we ate baked ziti paired with delicious Italian bread and a garden salad. Dessert was peaches! Rest hour followed as usual, and after we were able to explain the rules for general swim. Since the weather has been on the cooler side, we offered an optional general swim and many were still wanting to get in the water. For those who opted out, we hosted a pretty intense gaga game that was a whole of fun! During activity period there were many campers out in the water on boats, with many friends teaching other friends how to better their skills to pass. For supper we had grilled cheese with tomato soup which was fitting given that it is still a little chilly out. Dessert was sorbet where the girls were able to choose between orange, cherry, or raspberry. I think the all around favorite is raspberry for sure. Tonight’s evening program is spies and smugglers!! There was clearly quite a bit of excitement from the cheers after the announcement that hinted it could be the game for tonight. Everything is going well and we are hopping for more days like today, maybe a little bit warmer, but we won’t complain!
