A Terrific Thursday
On this Terrific Thursday, our early birds woke up at 6 am to do some nature sketches. They enjoyed the morning breeze near the flats and listened to the birds chirp as they drew and colored. At 7 am, all of the campers woke up and got ready for the day. They headed to morning circle and then enjoyed a breakfast of eggs, oranges, and coffee cake – which was a very big hit among the campers. After some camp chores, the campers broke into their teams for team-building activities including lineups, stand ups, and hula-hoop passes. Each of these activities required trust and communication, which helped the campers better connect with their peers. After team time, the campers did a “nature search and swatch” scavenger hunt. They found a lot of cool things including loose bird feathers, Kupugani landmarks, and, of course, some butterflies at Walnut Grove. For lunch we enjoyed hot dogs, doritos, and juice. After a rejuvenating Siesta, the campers broke into their first and second camptivities. We ended our day with a dinner of hamburgers and salad and a campfire to celebrate friendship as the evening activity. What a great way to end day 5!
