Today is the day; the very first day of the August Session. I was awakened early this morning by the shrill screams of delight of campers arriving to their assigned cabins. It was a wonderful sight; old friends reconnecting after a year of being apart, saying bittersweet goodbyes to parents and siblings, and the best part- unpacking.
It was the perfect day for a Swim Evaluation; hot, hot, hot. The girls had a blast diving into the cool lake with their brand new cabin friends. After a much needed lunch break, the campers took turns signing up for their activities for this session! After all the hustle and bustle of First Day sign-ups, it was finally time for dinner, and then Opening Campfire!
The best part of a session is watching the girls gather around the fire with wide smiles on their faces, filled to the brim with excitement about the start of camp. They sang songs, told Tajar Tales, and made the best memories. I can already tell this is going to be the session of the century!
