The first day of 3rd session! Can it really be here already??

Hello Circle F family,
What a fantastic first day. Check in went smoothly and everyone is here. The afternoon was filled with a swim test, outdoor games and getting know our new friends. At 5:45 the dinner bell rang and finally we got to eat the fried chicken that we had been smelling cook this afternoon, yummy! The campers all made a pledge after dinner to be good, kind, follow camp rules and have a fantastic time while at camp. At 6:45 we began our cabin photo scavenger hunt. Each cabin had to take a photo of the entire cabin doing the following: hugging Swannie's tree (the huge oak on the playground), in front of the "vampire slayer's" stall (Buffy), flexing muscles with the Pioneer boys, making funny faces with the nurse (Joy), waiting at campcraft, giggling at the gazebo, playing dead at the rockwall, swimming with the head of waterfront(Blake), being hunchbacks at the bell, doing a "Charlie's Angel" pose at paintball, pointing and laughing with the girls head counselor (Mia), being short around the boys head counselor (Devin who is 6'5') and pretend to be angry with the me! So much fun and when they are all done, they know their way around camp and know who administration is. Following the hunt will be counselor skits where they get familiar with the activities and the counselors who teach them. Of course, store will follow where everyone will enjoy a treat. After everyone is done, we will call our youngest campers (Buckaroos) to bed to be followed later by the Wranglers then last but not least the Pioneers. I think everyone will sleep well tonight after such an exciting and active day. I know I will.
We have a very international session this time. It is so much fun to get to know children from other countries as well as our own. We have campers from Italy, France, Martinique, Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, Guadeloupe, El Salvadore and Spain. Wow, what an adventure for everyone!
It makes no difference where they are from, they are children having fun and laughing together.
Thank you for sharing your children with us. We are enjoying them already. So are the puppies!
Diana, Murray and the gang
