Welcome Second Half campers! - Farm & Wilderness

Written by Pam Podger | July 24, 2013

We greeted 119 campers at Indian Brook on a sunny second half opening day! This week returning and full campers have been orienting your camper by learning about the Indian Brook schedule and how they can find success at camp this summer.  The sun is shining and smiles are all around here while girls start to carve a spoon, swim to the snow bar, learn all about how to prepare for their upcoming trips, friendship bracelet making, and improv theater games.

While discovering the garden, a Radish Rap transpires during garden beautification time:

Radish Rap

Master Beet Juice, Turnip da Beat!

My name is royal radish

I do it on the daily,

Photosynthin’ sunshine, making this amazing

Color, I’m redder than the beat or tomato

IB Garden swag, say AY OH!

Some call me spicy, others say I’m feisty

Either way you cut me up you’re gonna want a bite

But hold up, haven’t ya’ll heard I’m Quaker

Need some peaceful Vitamins? I’m your maker!

I hope you lovely people liked this didily

It was just something to introduce me,

If you really want to know how I get down

Climb the hill to the garden and find my crown

Royal Radish Out

Whether it is her first time or fourth time at camp, we are here to encourage your camper to find her voice and be a positive part of the community. Cabin contracts and rights & responsibilities were all shared on the first night so everyone can learn to work and support each other.

The silliness continues as we create Haiku poems to post in the KYBO’s.

Many times I think

That there is no place like home

Home on my Kybo

OR

Really have to go

Run to the nearest Kybo

Before it’s too late

OR

Kybo’s are treasures

Sometimes they’re not easy finds

I’m glad you found me

OR

Thoughts come together

In transcendence on Kybo’s

The best place to think
