Week Two Update - Farm & Wilderness

Written by Kory Mathis | July 15, 2010

Hello there friends and family!

We had our first Naming Ceremony at camp this week, and it was a blast! While the staff planned for the coming week, the campers spent all day building a big fire under the leadership and guidance of our four Camper Leaders. After a hard day’s work, we wrapped up with a great big party with guests from Indian Brook, Timberlake and the Barn Day Camp!
Please join me now in honoring our newly named Flying Cloud Brothers:
Oak Heart
Orchid Path
Moon Song Chickadee
Winter Spring
Elk Shapes the Hearth
Red Buck Runs

As I write, campers are out on the last full day of their trips. We have a group tracking animals on the Montague Sand Plains in Massachusetts, a group hiking on the Long Trail, and a team testing their survival skills in the Arthur Davis Wildlife Management Area just across the valley. The last group canoed across Flagstaff Lake and is now hiking a section of the Appalachian Trail. I expect to hear a ton of great stories when we welcome them back into camp tomorrow night!
