Special Days and Special Nights - Farm & Wilderness

Written by Kory Mathis | July 21, 2011

A few times during this first session, we mixed up our schedule and threw in Special Days. Our first special day was Adventure Day. Campers had an opportunity to choose from a number of hiking, climbing, and canoeing adventures. We packed lunches early in the morning and then hit the trails. One group hiked from camp to a cheese-making company in Plymouth (and tasted samples). Another hiked to the top of Ascutney Mountain. One group spent the day honing their climbing skills. Another hiked three peaks in one day – Pico, Killington and Shrewsbury. And another one group worked on all kinds of paddling skills.

Yesterday, we arranged a country fair day with a square dance in the morning; corndogs, smoothies, curly fries, and funnel cake for lunch; and various afternoon events like sack races, eating doughnuts from strings, and showing our animals.
