Fabulous Friday

Today was a fabulous day, especially in that the campers enjoyed the least amount of rain in days! Indeed, only trace amounts fell…woo hoo! We can enjoy life at our Midwest summer camp in the dry! After a great start to the day with Miss Natasha’s chocolate chip pancakes, morning teams and Free to Learn time in the Walnut Grove, while the elder camp ladies did some great community service visiting the retirees at nearby Pinecrest, the sun shone through, allowing the girls to enjoy camptivities such as lake play, […]

First Full Day of Boys Camp!

Today was the first day for all of our boy campers! The bright early morning was full of the peaceful sounds of nature and the crunching of twigs from those who awoke early to go on a Nature Hike! Boys experienced the initial Team Activities which helped them learn more about each other as well as each other’s opinions on racial controversies in the thought-provoking activity, Four Corners. After lunch, campers went through Swim Evals, Nurse Checks and enjoyed a wonderful camp tour with their counselors to explore the beauty […]

A Nice Day Five

As we take a moment to remember our fifth camp day, we’re pleased with the girls’ development; today consisted of a morning of team activities focusing on respecting and honoring diversity which is an especially honored subject at our multicultural all girls camp that we run here at Kupugani. The afternoon consisted of camptivities, with the girls either choosing a more adventurous activity such as a challenge hike or canoeing or choosing a more relaxing option such as chill time, where they used the time to reflect on how much […]

Swim Sensation

Today was a beautiful warm day… One lovely camper had her Snickers ice cream dissolve in her hand minutes after buying it from La Tienda. The girls enjoyed the pool nearly all day; when they weren’t in the pool, they were basking in the warm sun (or enjoying the shade). While the new campers went on a tour through beautiful Camp Kupugani to get their bearings and to see where all the camptivities take place, the returning campers jumped in the pool. As another session of camp begins, we notice […]

Camptivities Galore!

After a morning of challenging team building activities, we had an afternoon of camptivities galore. We had tie-dye, cratestacking, and a full camp challenge hike! How exciting! The campers delighted in also having another full camp soccer game…not a clamored-for rematch between staff and campers, but two teams divided between all of camp! The boys continue to enjoy camp more than ever, even as they are challenged in teams and cabins to use good conflict resolution skills and use their resilience and empowerment skills. The camp rush is at an […]

Extreme Challenge Hike!

Camp Kupugani was full of challenges today between camptivities, Teams, and evening activities. Our campers were met with an extreme challenge hike–through the valley and across the two-wire bridge–as well as many other twists and turns met in the woods. The boys dabbled in some crate stacking and rock climbing too in order to channel their inner Bear Grylls here at camp! After a most appetizing and scrumptious dinner of Chicken Kiev courtesy of Miss Natasha, the boys participated in a very thought-provoking activity called Cross the Line. As an […]

I Don’t Know About You, But I’m Having Fun at Camp!

Cackles of laughter and spews of Kupugani songs fill the camp as the boys are settling into the camp routine! The joy continued throughout yesterday with camptivities of a challenge hike to go dam jumping preceding the choice of either cratestacking or archery! Nurse Linda even joined in on the Cratestacking, meeting her goal of stacking six crates while the campers buzzed past her with ease and excitement! The campers channeling their inner Robin Hoods all made it within inches of the Bullseye which makes us wonder if we have […]

GaGa for Camptivities!

Today marked the first day for camptivities! During the first camptivity session, all the campers enjoyed a game of GaGa and then headed to the pool for an exhilarating swim! Following delicious treats at La Tienda, the boys chose between Rock Climbing and Archery and channeled their adventurous souls! The evening activities included Diversity Bingo and Diversity Show and Tell. Diversity Bingo is a version of Bingo where campers get to know each other through facts such as naming three Motown hits, if they speak more than two languages, if […]
