Fabulous Friday!
We started off the day by waking up in the cabins after a good night’s sleep. Everyone was up by 7 to shower, brush their teeth, and get dressed for the day before heading to morning circle. Today, our senior 14/15 year old campers got to run camp for the day! They led our morning circle, camp songs, and took care of all of the announcements throughout the day. For breakfast we had English muffins, bacon, and eggs. After breakfast, we broke into our cabin groups to take care of our chores. Then we met with our teams and did some reflective activities about our values, backgrounds, and pastimes. After we finished, it was Free to Learn–time allotted to campers so that they have a chance to enjoy camp without highly structured activities. After that, we went to the Dining Hall for a lunch of turkey sandwiches, chips, and fruit and then returned to our cabins for siesta. After our short rest, the afternoon camptivities began! The activities included archery, crate-stacking, slack-lining, hiking, swimming, and arts and crafts. The campers took a break for La Tienda, then resumed their campivities with their cabins. After camptivities ended, we came down to the Dining Hall porch to sing songs while waiting for dinner. For our evening activities, the younger campers played Gaga ball, and those who were 13 and older participated in a privilege walk. It was a very impactful and eye-opening experience for them, and their debrief and discussion afterwards reflected that. After that, we returned to our cabins to get ready for bed and get some rest for tomorrow. Another good day at camp!
