Happy Friday! Today marks the end of the first week of regular programming for Session 3 and this afternoon we head into our overnight weekend. Some of our highlights this week included the always popular Heffalump Hunt evening program which much to everyone’s delight featured a particularly interesting cast of Heffalump creatures. We also took advantage of the great weather on Thursday by jumping in the pond, and exploring the forest which was very active thanks to the rain which was a big benefit to the forest and creates who live there.
Starting tomorrow, Abbey and Dillard campers will load up on a bus and head off for two nights at Monadnock, leaving everyone else to make camp their own for a couple of days. The ladies of Fossey and Carson will also head out on their one-night overnights to First and Second Point, respectively. The boys of Thoreau and Leopold will then have camp to themselves for “Boys Day In” planned by their staff. The girls will do the same on Saturday once the boys leave for their overnight.
The LITs are wrapping up their two weeks at camp this weekend and we are sad to see them go! They had an exciting week working on service projects including a significant cleanup of Route 119 in Rindge. They are setting a great example to all who saw us taking care of our surrounding!. They will have a closing along with the other teen programs, Junior Counselors and Hiking The Long Trail (who returned back to camp on Thursday and headed straight for the showers), tonight before departure at 10:00am on Saturday.
We’ll have some more photos and an update after the overnight. Have a great weekend everyone!
