Teepee Takeover!
Session Four has started with some of the most beautiful weather of the summer! To change up the camp scene the boys have taken over the Teepees and the girls are located in the Blue Village!
After first day opening night hike, day two was spent building team spirit and making friends. During the day all campers spent much of the day working on group initiatives and the Challenge Course, working through the “Wall of Adventure”, zooming into the air on the “Flying Squirrel” and speeding through the tree tops on the “Zip Line”. All campers achieved their own personnel challenge goals for the day. Mathew aged 12 “Today was Awesome! It was all about conquering our fears, working together and feeling good about ourselves” Tonight will be shelter building and and counselors and campers will continue to work on building those relations.
