Tween Camp: Monday

Briana taking record at line call

Today was the first full day of Tween Camp, and after we recovered from yesterday’s downpour, we continued on with our regularly scheduled programs. 

Specialty camps held their first class sessions, and the campers are well on their way to learning all sorts of new things this week. A couple of the specialty camps we have this week include Junior Chef and Skateboarding.

This afternoon, we had a lunch of vegetarian chicken nuggets, broccoli, and mashed potatoes with gravy. After eating, we had a bit of free time, followed by the very important emergency drill we perform at the beginning of every week.

Self- Defense Class

Once we got that out of the way, we proceeded with our regular activity rotations. Some of the activities included medic dodgeball at Sports and ultimate frisbee at Field Games. Of course, all that wasn’t quite enough to tire out these tween campers, so we continued the day with Big Event, in which we played a game called Turkey Run. Campers had to run through a gauntlet of “hunters” with dodgeballs, and anyone who was hit became hunters themselves. The last few cabins with members still standing earned Ultimate Cabin points.

After we replenished our energy with a haystack dinner, cabin Iroquois lowered the flag at line call, and we met at the wagons to watch the first act of this year’s Outpost. Set twenty years after last year’s program, returning campers were able to see some familiar characters while also meeting new ones. Tonight, we found Autumn Wrightley grown up with her own children, only to have the Gales come in and cause some trouble.

We’ll see how the story continues tomorrow, -Colin
