Session One Begins With FUN!

6/27/2017

 
​Hello friends and family! First Session 2017 is off to a great start. Yesterday, Monday, we were lucky to have great weather. The sun was shining and the temperature felt just right. Each group completed the Low Ropes course with the Adventure Staff, tackling challenges together and getting to know each other in the process. Everyone also attended a morning or early afternoon Swim Block and an afternoon Free Swim in the pool. Following dinner, all of camp had Free Time – where campers have an hour to complete activities around camp of their own choosing. It is also their opportunity to head to the Camp Store for snacks and Arrowhead merchandise.
 
Here are a few highlights from each of the cabins’ days.
 
P7 went on a nature walk to learn about the animals and plants that live with us at camp. In the afternoon, P3 met the chickens. When pioneer groups cook out meals they often use the chickens’ eggs. P1 spent their night making tea and playing with Mocha the Chinchilla in the Environmental Center.
 
P4 challenged themselves at compound archery to begin their morning.
 
Both H3 and H4 tackled the new and improved disc golf course.
 
P2 began their day with icebreakers in the bay, playing fun games in the water to get to know one another. H1 also started their day at the waterfront, with a tubing adventure. H6 went canoeing and enjoyed a nice swim around the bay. P6 spent the afternoon at the waterfront seining and sailing before heading to Free Swim with the rest of pioneer.
 
SPF kicked off their sailing adventure. In the morning they learned to tie knots, and in the afternoon they put their knot skills to use, sailing Sunfish on the bay.
 
H3 walked around the labyrinth to finish off their afternoon activities.
 
Meanwhile, Day Camp 1, H7 and H2 painted tiles in the Craft Shop before dinner. Tile designs included renderings of cabins and ninjas, and the classic multicolor pattern pieces.        
 
Following free time, P5 completed their day by creating torches. APF finished their night with a sun set boat ride on the bay.
 
We had a fun and busy first day at camp and can’t wait for what the rest of the week will bring. Thank you for reading. We’ll be back later this week.
 
With joy from Homestead Way,
Maddie S. (the Office Manager)
