Harvest Weekend wrapped up quite nicely last Monday, and it’s a good thing it did, since I woke up to snow on tuesday morning! We had just a dollop of thick, wet snow–perfect for snowballs– and I got really excited about the coming winter. It means it’s finally time to start all my indoor projects: more flint-knapping and making a hickory bow with Forest Flame.
For those of you who came and helped Harvest, thank you so much! The gardens look great, and we got IB, TL and SAM closed down and ready for the coming snow. You can check out pictures in the Photo Gallery on the website. They’re not up as I write this, but they will be soon! There’s also one more way you can help if you were at camp this summer: we’d love to get your feedback, whatever it may be, on the parent or camper survey.
In other news, I’m sad to say that Flying Cloud is losing a very important race that started last week. So far Indian Brook has two campers for next summer, and we don’t even have one! If you’d like to make my day (and help stop IB from gloating), get your application finished ASAP and send it in. You can learn everything you need to know about applying on the “How to Register” page or you can wait just a few days and you’ll receive your very own application packet in the mail.
I hope you’re all settling comfortably into fall, and that if you have any great nature moments you won’t hesitate to tell me all about them!
