Monday: Junior Week #1

Outpost night one @ the fort
MONDAY
   Breakfast: Biscuits & Gravy was our main course, we also had a selection of cereal, granola, fruit, and juice available.
   Lunch: We had the full enchilada plus rice, beans, churros, & salad bar.
   Dinner: We had some awesome bean dip, with broccoli, and salad bar.

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, but this week our cabins rotating in the afternoons won't be assigned to an activity area more than once. 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, @ Hiking.
   #2: This morning we sent off our first trip campers of the season to the lake for their wakeboarding lessons. We had campers of all different skill levels just waiting to get out on the water. They called me as soon as they arrived, and everyone made it to the campsite safely.
   #3: Today I watched cabins Seminole & Shoshone play some field games during PM rotations. They were very competitive, but I also saw them working together and (for the most part) being good sports when it came time to tally up the score.

PARENTS & CAMP
   No special requests yet. We have a few campers who need lots of sunscreen and we're doing our best to keep up. Nurse reports that our campers are in pretty good shape, today wasn't too hot and we all had plenty of water.

STAFF & CAMP
   Today a camper told us how much he loved the drama games! We have to give a big thank you to our drama department, they really are incredible.


TOMORROW 
   Even more of our campers will meet our new camp turtle!
   The campers will see our second night of the outpost play (I think it gets better every week).
   Boys (cabins Seminole, Shoshone, & Pueblo) will be taking over the pool for their afternoon rotations...

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