Monday August 2

This morning we woke up to a very light drizzle which quickly subsided. There were many polar bears heard in great hosmer pond today, and some roller bears too. For breakfast we had maple scones, scrambled eggs, and breakfast potatoes. We all pitched in to do some chores during community work time, like taking care of the farm animals, cleaning up the waterfront, and sweeping the dining hall. We started our AM focus areas. The advanced scullers got out in boats, lake living took some canoes on a tour, mountain biking rode around some of the dirt roads and class 4 roads, puzzles started working on a few jigsaws, and balls balls balls played some ball games. After that we had electives like hard rock cafe, SUPing, bracelet making, and bullfrog hunting. After that we had chicken caesar wraps for lunch and some awesome sides like garlic bread, salad, fruit, and banana chocolate cookies. After rest hour, we had PM focus areas and another elective block. There were options like finger painting, archery, farm and garden, and kickball. We had a free choice E3 block where we could choose to hang out at the theatre, the backyard, the soccer field, or the gameroom. After that we returned to our cabins for some chill time before dinner. We had pork loin for dinner with a peach blackberry chutney, roasted potatoes, and steamed veggies fresh from the garden. For desert we had fresh fruit cups with whipped cream! The evening activity was AMAZING RACE where we split up into our compass cup teams and raced all around camp completing challenges for points. We will find out who won in the morning when the scores are tallied. We returned to our sections for campfires with songs and stories and we went to bed tired and happy.
