This morning we woke up to more heat! But before we were able to get back into the lake to cool off, we had breakfast. Today’s food: waffles! We continued on with our camp tradition of putting peanut butter and syrup on top to make it a true camp meal. After breakfast everyone headed to their morning classes. Today was a big day for many, as it was the final day to test. There seemed to be lots of smiling faces after classes, given the good news of moving on up in swimming or boating. For dinner we had a pickup meal to rid the fridge of leftovers. Plus we still needed to save some room for our big meal later in the day. Dessert was pears, and the campers of course got their candy at store right before rest hour. Everyone was chomping at the bit to get in for general swim post resting. After general swim, the day continued on as normal up until banquet. We all gathered for our thanksgiving-like meal with turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn, cranberry sauce, and gravy. Dessert was ice cream and the campers had a choice between chocolate chip, cookie dough, or caramel crunch. We continued with our year awards and slideshow after everyone had eaten. In the middle of the banquet festivities, we cooled everyone down with a quick dip before ending the night. We then continued with a couple more songs which led into our candlelight service. We were fortunate enough to have a beautiful night and put our candles out on the lake. It was truly a perfect ending to another great day here at Camp Asto Wamah. It is sad to say that our last day is tomorrow, but we are looking forward to it.
