Timberlake Opening Day 2011 - Farm & Wilderness

Written by Kory Mathis | July 27, 2011

We can’t deny it, the weather has been very helpful.  Well, there have been some storms on the radar last night, but all they  meant was we needed to raise our voices for dinner announcements as the rain crashed on the roof.  The evening skies have been stunning.

As I walk around camp, I see campers gathered in the Packard Shed listening to out Work Project’s head low, confident voice run them through an orientation that inspires and informs the group.   Later, I will see campers hammering on siding to our new cabin so it can be finished by this summer.

At circle up, I hear about campers who have passed their knife test, build a wet weather fire or led our goat, Bruce, to a new pasture.

We have had a night of wacky skit’s for our Trips, including fluffy white clouds, high octave singing and shiny silver tights.    Not everyone can get their first choice but we can make sure they get one of their top half  choices.   We’ll now start doing the team-building initiatives for each trip group.

Thanks to everyone who came up for a smooth drop off day.
