Day One, Week One

We have just completed our first day at camp. And it was SPECTACULAR! This morning the first batch of kiddies and their counselors ate a delicious breakfast consisting of pancakes, apples, scrambled eggs, hash browns, and cereals. Following that we had our daily cabin inspection where campers are expected to make their beds, clean up trash, have sunscreen on, full water bottles, and their teeth brushed and ready for the day. Each cabin has the chance to do extra credit, such as a song, dance or skit, and the cabin with the most points at the end of the week receive a fancy pizza party! After inspection the camp was split into two groups of Teens and Youngins, and we were off on our adventures. We hit some bulls-eyes at archery as well as Pioneer Village with the tomahawks. Next we played kick-ball, basketball, and after our macaroni and cheese lunch we swung by the zip line and rock wall! It was exciting to see the kids face their fears and take on the height of the zip line and the rock wall. But once they took their first jumps or climbed the first rock it was all smiles from there. So after all of this running around in the crazy sun, naturally we finished the day poolside! For din din we had festive fajitas, and for evening activity it's Counselor Scavenger Hunt! The week has started off great and I look forward for tomorrow....and don't worry parents, I have the young gals in my cabin and they slept great, had a fun day and not one was feeling homesick...expect letters home soon!

Cheers,
Spano

  2. No prob! and yes she is, everyone LOVES her! She is a brave one. She was a little nervous about the heights but she conquered that zip line. Today she had a moment of really missing her mommy(naturally)but after a nap she was ready to get back into it and was excited for arts and crafts so she could make you a painting :)
