Session 6 (and 5 week two), 2016: Part One

It’s hard to believe that the final week of overnight camp is here already! We are so lucky to have such an amazing group of campers here this week enjoying the last little bit of summer. The days and nights have gotten much cooler and some birds have been sighted beginning their southward migrations. We’re keeping an eye out for raptors and nightjars flying across the skies above the pond.

We closed out Session 5 last week with an amazing campfire hosted by our Leaders-In-Action (second year LITs). They did an excellent job of creating a fun theme along with skits to carry us through the history of Wildwood throughout the campfire.

We also received some pictures back from the Caves and Waterfalls trekkers who spent their day along with guides from Adventure In Adventure Out exploring cave formations in western Massachusetts. That was after a day exploring the Quechee Gorge area of Vermont which included a visit to the amazing VINS Nature Center.

The forecast looks great for the week ahead so we expect lots more fun over the coming days. Enjoy this peek in to camp and see you back later this week!
