Fear Factor and a Rainy Day

Howdy Circle F Family,

One of the great things about camping in Florida is that when it rains it normally only rains for about 30 minuets or so. Today was different. We had a rainy day reminiscent of North East Camps. It was great. We called it Wet and Wild Wednesday and had some special games in the rain. It was one of the funnest days of camp I have ever seen.

Waterfront is probably the most popular place to be at camp and it is easy to see why. With the blob, banana boat, water games, swimming, sailing, canoeing and kayaking, waterfront is filled with fun. Our waterfront staff are all trained lifeguards through the American Red Cross. They provide a safe environment for our campers to get wet and wild and have a blast.

This evening's program was Fear Factor. Based off the of the hit TV show, we had 5 counselors competing for their cabin groups. There were three events: hang tough, eating challenge and the ping-pong challenge. We also had Joe Rogan, the host of Fear Factor come to host the game. In the end the youngest cabins (CBB, CBG, B1B, B1G and B2B) won a pizza party and a movie.

We are really having a blast here at camp. I wish all of the parents could somehow look down from a cloud and see the fun we are having. I think you would be impressed with your campers, how they are making decisions on their own, how they are stepping up to new challenges, how they are overcoming obstacles and how they are learning from mistakes.

Fantastic Wishes,
Roger and the gang
