The rest of camp in a nutshell - Farm & Wilderness

Written by Kory Mathis | July 28, 2011

Today marks the fifth day of camp for this session. Campers in First and Big Lodge have gone through all the major areas – Barns and Gardens, Swim Lessons, Outdoor Living Skills, and Work Projects. Senior Lodge has completed a three-day cycle focused on one activity area and will begin their next cycle.

Trips have been selected and groups are beginning to do team building work on the lower ropes course as part of the preparation for going out on the trail. The weekend will bring some big all-camp games, the first Council Fire, more open waterfront and camper-led activities.

A1 short session campers will going on their overnight camping adventure tonight.

The principle feature of next week will be trips and a shrinking and expanding camp. We may even eat pancakes with ice cream. Who knows?

Once everyone is back from trips, we will be diving into preparing for Fair, harvesting for Food Day, preparing for our final, blow-out Banquet and finishing all the work we began in each program area.

I’ll keep you posted!
