Last Monday of 3rd session

Hello families,
How did we get here already? It really feels like all our campers just checked in. I can't believe we will be seeing you this Saturday for pick up. Thank goodness, many campers decided to stay for 4th session! It won't be so hard to say good-bye.
Many campers went to Busch Gardens yesterday and had a great time. They got off the buses with big smiles and many stories to tell. The campers that stayed at camp had a wonderful day, as well. We had a longer morning thought about how camp helps you to grow, become a better person and become more responsible. Campers and counselors then broke into smaller groups to discuss how camp has changed them and helped them to grow personally. Each group picked a representative to speak for their group. WOW!It was very inspiring to hear them talk about learning to be more tolerant of others, being more responsible, to be more of a team player, taking others feelings in to account not just theirs and so much more. Of course, it brought a tear to our eyes realizing what an amazing time for growth camp can be. We knew it but it was very moving to hear the campers talk about it. After Siesta we had a counselor hunt where the campers have to find counselors and get points for each one. I was so proud of myself...they didn't find me. Following the hunt it was to the beach for Beach Bonanza Relay. Two teams had to bury 3 campers in the sand, fill a cooler with water using a good bucket and a bucket with holes, paint a team member, swim holding hands and the final leg was a canoe race. They had so much fun nobody cared which team won. We had a general swim before the camp favorite for dinner...PIZZA! Everyone got a good nights sleep after such a busy day. You have a fantastic week. I know we will. See you Saturday between 9 and 12. The Horse Show starts at 10.
