Deep Preparation - Farm & Wilderness

Written by Kory Mathis | June 27, 2011

We got in character today for our “Mock Day” – a dress rehearsal for a typical day at camp, complete with songs (“Paradise”!), swim lessons (first thing in the morning, so we know what if feels like!), learning to share at the lunch table, and even staying in character during rest hour. The “campers” successfully built new benches in meeting circle and herded up an escaped cow and goat. The experience gave teachers a chance to teach and counselors got to walk a few steps in a campers shoes and see what that’s like. A brilliant day being finished off with a Council Fire. Thanks for all the hard work of staff and particularly our new Program Director Jon Schoder.
