Session 5 day 4

We hear it is really warm back in the valley.  It isn't so warm here at the beach.  But we don't care because camp is still great fun no matter what kind of weather.  Today campers came back in from their overnights, cleaned up and had the morning to do activities.  Many cabin groups were out doing challenge course while others were doing archery, arts and crafts or taking much needed showers. 
On the second night we had an all camp beach party complete with elimination, snowcones and dancing.  We decided to dig a giant hole as well.  With a lot of camper power we dug a hole that was about seven feet long and six feet wide and four feet deep.  We thought it would make a great camp hot tub being so close to the ocean! It will be gone soon when high tide comes.

The meteors are out and some of us have seen shooting stars! It's pretty amazing at camp with no city lights!
The tooth fairy has come a few times as well as celebrating three birthdays! At camp we don't need  a reason to dress up and act silly and sing but birthdays and the tooth fairy are two of our favorites!

Tomorrow is the last full day at camp.  The Teen Leadership 2's will  be closing their time talking about change and transition, Alpine and Teen Adventure will have a good ole fashioned ho down, Highlands is having a spa/board game party and Sherwood will be hunting for fairy houses and gardens.  Everyone will come back together to share one last campfire before saying "see you next summer" as the cross the river on Friday.

Thanks as always for trusting with your children!
