A Great First Day of Blended Session Two!
Today was the first day of Blended session 2. Check in was a drive-thru and went very smoothly. Campers and their parents had the chance to talk to the admin, the nurse and drop off all of their luggage. Everyone had the chance to move into their cabins, meet their cabin mates and counselors, and set up their bunks. Afterwards, they went to Top Field as a whole camp and played name games, got introduced to camp, and learned the values and rules. Dinner went great; campers listened well and enjoyed it. We had spaghetti, garlic bread, and salad. Due to the light rain, it was inside, with everyone staying in cohorts and wearing masks when they weren’t at the table.
After dinner, evening activities were completed. Campers learned about the purpose of camp, who we are, what we do, why we do it and how we do it. Afterwards, campfire #1 occurred. They did really well with wearing masks when required and listening to the counselors. They learned about campfire etiquette, key log ceremony, and the Goodnight Song which is sung every night. Every camper had the chance to set a personal goal for camp. They were dismissed from the campfire, went for night meds if needed, and went back to their cabins for the night. It was a great first day of Blended Session 2!
