Wednesday: Junior Week #2

Wednesday night 'Campfire' @ PSR Camp
WEDNESDAY
   Breakfast: Pancakes, with assorted fruits toppings, syrups, canned fruit, fresh fruit, and juice.
   Lunch:Vegetarian Chicken Parmesan, plus macaroni salad, vegetables, and a full salad bar.  
   Dinner: Pizza night (as per camp tradition, we had a lot of campers in line for second helpings of everyone's favorite meal).

MY TOP THREE
   #1: Today I saw the boys from Navajo lining up for the camp store and they bought quite a few items. What makes this my number one favorite thing of the day is that they were sharing their store account money with other boys who didn't have any money. The boys were happy to share! They never said 'You can only get this or that,' or 'I'll buy you something cheap,' they said 'go ahead, get something you want.' It was really awesome.    
   #2: For big event we played capture the flag. Almost all of the campers played with the staff (and then against the staff) during our most popular event of the week. Campers sometimes forget to go to the jails, but then again sometimes our staff do too. We were just really proud that everyone played with dignity and aplomb. 
   #3: Cabin Mohawk lowered the flag today and it was my favorite presentation of the summer. Counselor Michael and the campers really did a great job representing how camp is fun, spiritual, and inspiring.

PARENTS & CAMP  
  If you're planning on coming up on Saturday, please let us know soon. If you are trying to contact your camper, they may be involved in activities so we'll make sure you have the opportunity to talk to them at the earliest possible time. We still discourage calls home, but we also understand that things can happen where you need to communicate with your child.

STAFF & CAMP
   Things are always at the PSR Archery Range. They keep their area clean, organize a fun activity for campers, and don't mind digging through bushes for lost arrows. Today I saw cabin Hopi practicing their skills during the morning rotations. Our ropes course program was equally impressive with their morning class. All of the campers were wearing helmets, and climbing up the climbing wall to showcase their abilities. That's why our ropes course is a wait list only activity for the rest of the summer!


TOMORROW 
   More ultimate cabin points are up for grabs...
   Campers will get a nice treat at Town Hall...
   We'll be getting ready for more big events, special family group times, and so much more! 

   Wishing all of our parents, grandparents, and camp family a good night!

We hope you enjoyed the show!
