Sunday June 27

What amazing weather for our first day of camp! Getting in the water for a swim check felt really good! We all went through a waterfront orientation with Thayer after our swim checks, then we had meetings in our cabin sections to make sure everyone knows where the bathroom is and where to find the head counselor cabin. After that, we went to some all-around-camp rotations to see more of camp and understand how things work. We visited the dining hall to learn about how we will stay spaced apart while we eat, we talked with Jon about respect and general camp expectations, and we signed up for our weekly focus areas with CC. For dinner we had spaghetti and meatballs made by our incredible Chef Cecil. After dinner we got to choose our elective activities for tomorrow. Our evening activity was Human Spoons, where we worked together with our cabins to complete a lot of wacky tasks and challenges. It was a really fun way to be together and break the ice a little bit for people that may have been a little nervous or shy. Tonight we will have campfires in our cabin sections and get to know our new friends even more. Sometimes sleeping in a new environment is a little tricky on the first night, but our counselors understand this and are really prepared to make everyone feel safe and comfortable. We are staying hydrated and happy!
