That pretty blue sky above did not shy away from letting us bask in its glory today! We absorbed the sun’s warm rays on the first real day of Main Session 2019! We are so very thankful to have the session start off on such a beautiful note.
That being said, here’s a quick recap of the day! I hopped around a bit this morning to all sorts of activities. In Arts and Crafts, the girls used shaving cream and food coloring to make some masterpieces. In our other crafty classes, like Jewelry, Ceramics and Stained Glass, girls wasted no time jumpstarting their projects! They’re all coming along swimmingly, and it’s only day one!
Our archers were on target today, shooting great shots as if they’d been here the whole summer. Quite impressive! I tagged along with a group of gals down to the Barn where I watched girls learn how to properly bridle a horse. We horsed around a bit before I took off to the Boat Docks.
The warm, warm day made for a lovely lake experience. With soft winds blowing and the sun shining, girls didn’t hesitate to jump on in. The Kayakers, Canoers, and Sailors all enjoyed the marvelous morning and afternoon beneath the bright skies. In Canoeing, boaters intentionally sunk their boats and played around in the water all day long!
For some Mountaineering fun, today was All Day Wall Day! Girls could climb the indoor rock wall up in King Arthur’s Court. Girls who’ve climbed the wall can go on climbs outside of camp on real rock face later in the session! It’s wicked cool, and I usually tag along. Tajars make for avid climbers.
The day wrapped up nicely with one of my favorite Evening Programs: Deck the Counselor! In these cabin skits, campers take the lead and direct their counselors in how to put on a little show for all of camp to see. They range from cute to sassy, funny to wild, and all things in between. All the skits sure got a good chuckle out of the crowd!
All in all, it was more than a great day. We’re so pumped that this session is kicking off in the best way possible. Boo Whoop to that!
Whew…according to my new CatBit, I’ve logged 13,687 steps today!
