Good morning! Yesterday, we had our first full day of activities! The campers were able to brush up on some existing skills, like soccer, basketball, and baseball. They also got to try out some new activities such as rock climbing, horseback riding, riflery, rocketry, mountain biking, canoeing/kayaking, and cheerleading.
It was Lulu’s first time mountain boarding yesterday, and she made it down the golf hill without falling! The dance class learned over half of their dance in the first class (Dylan, Livia, Delaney, Ella, Tasha, Hailey, Reese, and Grace)! Ella made it to the top of the rock wall! Mayson perfected her round off back tuck in cheerleading! Ellie did five back handsprings in a row! Becca walked on her hands across the entire gym mat! In archery, Anna, Sydney, and Scott G shot bullseyes!
Last night’s activity was counselor hunt. This time, the counselors planning the activity added a theme. Since a lot of the campers (and counselors) are into the new Pokémon Go! game, they had the hidden counselors dress as different Pokémon characters. The camp was divided into seven teams. Each team searched the entire camp in order to “catch ’em all”. When a counselor was found, they handed the team a Pokémon card with his/her character on it. India’s team was the fastest to collect all the Pokémon cards!
