Discovery Camp: Day Two

Cabin Mohave Lowers the Flag

     At camp it is easy to get burned out and it is up to all of us here to lift each other up and make sure camp runs smoothly. So, I want to start today’s blog with an affirmation to our staff for everything they do to cover for each other. Here are 5 things I saw today that inspired me in our staff:

1.) I saw a staff member drop what he was doing to help a fellow staff member escort a camper to the nurses station.

2.) I saw 6 different staff members offer to assist in a cabin to give their fellow staff members a break.

3.) A staff member carried my tray back into the cafeteria because they saw I was a little tired.

4.) I saw staff members rush to the aide of a golf cart stuck at the bottom of a hill with no battery left.

5.) Finally, I saw departments pull together and share a water cooler because we were low on coolers today.

     These clearly aren't life changing situations, but they are little snippets of why camp works. We help each other. We are always there to help each other when needed. Camp doesn't run without these moments and we want to give a huge thank you our staff.

     Now on with our regularly scheduled blog. Our day began with a hearty breakfast of eggs and tater tots, with fruit on the cold bar. From there we had a flag raising by Counselor Delcy and Cabin Arapaho.

    Onward to morning rotations; including Archery, Drama, Swimming, Soccer, Skateboarding, Sports and so many others. Indian camp is having a ton of fun earning their feathers.

     Lunch was a decadent pasta and salad bar. The kids really seem to enjoy pasta day.

Taking aim at the Obstacle Course

     Then a break for village time and a chance to visit our brand new store in the Manzanita Room. Afternoon rotations were a blast, I heard they had a particularly good time at the Obstacle Course.

    The day started to come to an end at supper with a fan favorite: Grilled Cheese. Flag lowering was done by Cabin Mohave in excellent form. Our second night of Outpost happened tonight at the Tee Pees for the first time and was a huge success, then we all headed off to bed, but not before Indian Camp made a quick stop at the Ponderosa Room to earn their blue feather in the chair maze.

    We look forward to every day here at PSR. See you in the morning,           - Colin
