Thursday! Party Time! Excellent!

6/27/2014

 
Thursday H10 and H4 worked on woodburning their pieces of camp.  Day Camp 1 made sand art prayers in the Pavillion.  P1 made some really cool books in the Craft Shop while H1, Day Camp 2 & H7 made fantastic tie dye shirts. P5 learned how to flip canoes in the bay and spent a good chunk of their morning paddling around in the sunshine.  P3 learned survival skills from their counselors, Will and Kevin.  The boys found that if they shave the bark off of a cedar log and light it with a flint, they would get a raging fire very quickly.  P7 planned their chapel while at archery and led the whole camp on Friday morning.  In P6, some campers enjoyed lashing a tepee in their campsite during a cookout.

Speaking of tepees, The service session CIT's were organizing old tarps in the Rec Hall and uncovered an old one that Teri and her Retreat Pathfinders painted in 1998.  We're working to find enough poles to try to set it up next session in Boy's Homestead... we'll keep you posted!

Thursday Nights at camp are for Socials!  Homestead had a Scooby Doo Dive In Movie at the pool.  They were served psychedelic snow cones and Scooby Snacks (puppy chow).  Don't know what puppy chow is?  You coat chex cereal in melted chocolate and then cover the chocolate with powdered sugar.  It's a camp favorite.  You can also add peanut butter to the chocolate, use white chocolate or mix ingredients like cinnamon, cocoa powder or cake mix to the powdered sugar coating.  It's a camp favorite!  And Ketih and Emma had some episodes of Scooby Doo projected up on a screen at on the deck of the Quail's Nest Staff Lounge.  The kids had a blast - and the staff had fun too.

The Pioneer Units had a beach party in the Pavilion and called it the Tidal Wave Tango. P5's counselor looked up all of his campers names in Hawaiian and made them name tags.   P4 wore lyrics to a beach song on their name tags and P3 wore Hawaiian & beach phrases like Aloha, Mahalo & Surf's Up! P1, P2, P6 & P7 wore flowers in their hair.  They danced to surf tunes and pop music dj'd by the Eriksen Cousins - Paul and Lars. 

Though the weather has been a bit cloudy this week, the sun keeps peaking through at Camp Arrowhead and all planned activities have commenced without any rain drops!

Today we're packing and preparing to return home.  Tonight we will attend Eucharist.  Every unit is in charge of a a part of the service and Father Tom from Christ Episcopal Church in Milford with celebrate. After the service we will have our end of Session Campfire.  All the groups meet up at the dining hall and silently process to the Council Ring for the fire.  Every unit will share a skit to share and Walt's leading the fire tonight so it's sure to be a fun one!

Peace & Adventure Are Out There!
Teri & Theresa
