We are so GRATEFUL for the break in the heat this week. Of course that meant that there were storms to contend with Monday and high winds Tuesday and Wednesday - but yesterday, yesterday was a fantastic day on the waterfront! Several staff were down there helping the waterfront crank out some sailing rides all afternoon and during free time.
Last night we held a mini central on the beach. Arrowhead takes a lot of pride in being decentralized. (Our emphasis is on the individual group experience over planning things out with other cabins. So, when we do all camp activities we call it a Central because it's really the only "centralized" thing we do) And when we decide to do Centrals - we do it right! All of our Specialists (non-counseling staff) and Day Camp Staff ran activity or food booths all of the beach. The Outside Crew spent most of their day rigging up strings of lights between the trees and trees of floodlights to keep it all bright and cheery. Paul and George , from the Environmental Center, hosted a hot dog bar with our Prep Cooks, Chloe & Roisin. Kat, Arman, and Wyatt were serving up fresh popcorn. Morgan and Ellie were scooping up snow cones. Maddy and Molly from the Craft Shop ran a really silly photo booth. Carleigh and Nikki from the infirmary were doing face paint with David from the kitchen. There were tons of games to play and glow in the dark necklaces for everyone!! A highlight was pie throwing - campers got to throw plates of shaving cream at staff members. It was EVERYWHERE. Word of the street is that it tastes minty and clean but no one would highly recommend getting it in your mouth.
We're all a little sad that it's the last day but we're squeezing in all the last moments of fun that we can while we prepare for all of tonight's festivities - Camp Arrowhead (Cheesy) Chicken for dinner, Dirt for dessert, Eucharist with Ginny Wilder from Trinity and Old Swedes in Wilmington, and the CAMPFIRE!!!!
See you tomorrow camp families!!
