It is the end of our second “work” week, though that doesn’t mean there was any knocking it off early for our camper crew this Friday! Yet another cool, clear morning with the bell ringing loud to get everyone moving. Breakfast was a southern affair of sausage biscuits, gravy, grits, berries/fruit, yogurt, and cereal. The dining hall was a bit relaxed this morning as the schedule asks a lot of our guys, but it didn’t stay relaxed for long.
As soon as an early breakfast was consumed, our paddlers made tracks for a day on the Tuck with a mixture of canoes and kayaks for the day. With the day proving to be a sunny and hot one, a river run was the perfect fit for that crew.
Flattop took their cabin’s turn up on the course before finishing with the zipline and having some stories to tell about many first experiences up that high. Climbing had a sort of in camp trip to work on some belay and rappel level skills with a number of climbers.
In pottery, groups of campers worked on chess sets in a variety of themes, cutlery being the one featured here. Other set themes included food items, Star Wars characters, bugs, and rats! Some more pictures of the sets are in the gallery and are certainly worth a look. The creativity of the guys was on full display, mixed with a quality element of teamwork. In other gallery shots you can see campers working the wheels, creating lots of messy fun as they practice that new skill set!
Age Group 1 (Hillside and Connestee) Had an amazing night on the waterslide and rope swing!
Age Group 2 (Lakeside, Flattop, and Foxhollow) Hit the dinner plan early and then headed out to Sliding Rock for their Chill Night!
Age Group 3 (Chalet, Overlook, Windswept) Had some games on the soccer field.
Age Group 4 (Outpost and Sprucepine) dodgeball in the gym!
Age Group 5 (Lookout, Pinnacle, and Halfway) A good number of these guys headed out for an evening of golf across the street. Our Aides mopped the dining hall, which left just a few guys to shill on the activity field.
