A Fun First Full Day of Camp
Today, we started off by waking up in the cabins after a good night’s sleep. The campers took a shower and brushed their teeth before heading down to our morning circle. We went over the quote of the day, sang our morning song, and then dismissed it to go eat. Breakfast today was pancakes and sausage with grapes. After the campers enjoyed their meal, they broke off into their cabins to do camp chores like cleaning the amenities and whatnot. When done with the chores, they broke off into their teams to do team building activities. They got familiar with their team groups by doing a couple of fun activities. Then we had a delicious lunch of Sloppy Janes and veggies. Sang a couple of songs after lunch and split back to the cabins for Siesta. After the quiet time the Siesta provides, all the campers either took a swim evaluation or a tour of camp. After the swimming and touring was done, the campers got to purchase things from the camp store, LaTienda. The other half of kids that did the tour now did the swim eval to give the others kida an opportunity to tour the camp. After the activities were done, they headed back into the cabins to get changed for dinner. For dinner we had Bratwursts and sauerkraut + mashed potatoes. The evening activity today was Diversity Bingo. The goal of the bingo is for the campers to learn more about each other in a fun way. Dismissed the campers with a Goodnight song and headed back to the cabin for lights out.
