Monday: Junior Camp #2

MONDAY
   Breakfast: Biscuits & Gravy was our main course, we also had a selection of cereal, granola, fruit, and juice available.
   Lunch: Macaroni & Cheese, bread, vegetables,  & salad bar.
   Dinner: Macho Taco Monday, with beans, vegetarian protein, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, chopped onions, chopped tomatoes, olives, salad bar, fruit, and more.  

MY TOP THREE
   #1: Late last night we completed our camp rotation schedule in order to ensure program variety for campers. We try to get every camper into as many activities as possible so they can try them out. It's not a perfect science and we try to minimize the amount of times that cabins have to repeat an activity. Here is a list of our activities:
    Morning Classes
       Basketball, Gymnastics, Junior Chef, Photography, Ropes Course, Soccer Camp, Trail Biking.
    Morning Rotations
       Archery, Arts & Crafts, Drama Games, Go-Carts, Nature, Skateboarding, & Swimming,
    Afternoon Rotations
       Archery, Arts & Crafts, Climbing Wall, Drama Games, Go-Carts, Field Games, Junior Chef,
       Nature, Skateboarding, Sports, & Swimming (we removed hiking from the schedule this week due to concerns about the weather).
   #2: Today we had some dry winds, clouds, and we saw some rain falling on Garner Valley to the south of us. Rain can be an inconvenience to our schedule, but with the drought in full-swing we wouldn't mind moving everyone in doors for a nice light drizzle.  
   #3: Ultimate cabin is in full swing. Today's big event was double dodge ball (you have to dodge the ball, but you also have to make sure your team's base isn't knocked over). I don't have the list of who did well yet, but if I can get that information I will post it tomorrow.

PARENTS & CAMP
   We always have parents calling to come visit on Saturday, and we are able to accommodate most requests. Please remember to call us in advance to let us know you're coming to visit. Thank you!

STAFF & CAMP
   The department of the day was basketball. Even though the class is small I still saw the campers playing their hearts out with several of the staff this morning. I also stopped by skateboarding in the morning and  Hopi & Nez Perce were there practicing skateboarding skills. After putting on pads and helmets we let them loose on the course. They were there for over an hour playing on our brand new equipment.  


TOMORROW 
   We'll be commemorating the one-year anniversary of the Mountain Fire...
   We'll be watching the second night of our outpost play at the tepees...
   We'll be doing another Ultimate Cabin challenge withe the campers...

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