Tuesday, July 18

Today started off with our first Polar Bear Swim of the session! It feels great to get woken up by our campers singing the Polar Bear Chant. We had a big crew this morning: 40 campers! Counselors reported that everyone had gotten a good night’s sleep, and everyone was feeling hungry for pancakes, bacon, yogurt, and fruit at breakfast. At our staff meeting this morning, counselors reported that a couple of campers were feeling a bit homesick last night (which is very normal for this point in the session, when campers are tired and still learning their way around). Families - please know that we check in with campers who aren’t feeling 100% throughout the day, and we will call you if your child is having trouble adjusting. If you haven’t heard from a director, that means your camper is doing OK!

Campers were excited to head to their first focus area activities. This week’s offerings are: Balls Balls Balls, Yarnapalooza, Farm & Garden, Swimming, Woodworking, Puzzles, Tennis, Mountain Biking, Paint and Sip, LARPing, Taskmaster (a series of challenges), Mindfulness and Meditation, Photography, Magazine Making, Beginner Sculling, Field Games, Sailing, and Card & Board Games.

Lunch today is Taco Tuesday, everyone’s favorite!

Tonight we’re looking forward to County Fair Night, a fun evening of free-choice carnival games.

We’ll continue updating the blog every afternoon - so check back soon!
