ON 2 Thursday: Conversations

Welcome back to overnight camp! This week has flown by so fast and we cannot believe it is Friday tomorrow.

We started off our day with our usual Polar Bear Dip before heading down to breakfast where we had “Peaceful Pancakes.” Following breakfast, we got together in our 2:6 groups to go clean up our bunks and begin packing up our cabins before we played a camp wide game of Force Field! In this game there are two teams , the attackers, and the defenders. The attackers goal is to capture flags on the defending teams side and bring them over to their side without being tagged.

After camp wide game, we had social skill. Today, we learned about conversations. We discussed maintaining conversations and how to enter and exit those conversations. After social skill, we went down for lunch where we had tuna melts with coleslaw. After lunch we went back to our cabins for rest hour before our choice block. Since it was so hot today, lots of us spent rest hour taking a nap or hanging out in the shade. Following rest hour it was time for choice. Today we have a choice between, kayaking, zip-lining, and tie-dye. Zip-line was a lot of fun. It was great to see all of our high ropes skills come into play while we climbed up the zip-line pole. Kayaking provided a great opportunity to cool off on the lake. Tie-dye was really nice and relaxing as we were also able to make some bracelets. While campers were all at choice, some of our coordinators were preparing the slime for Kangaroo Court!

In Kangaroo court the campers decides which counsellor gets “slimed,” through camp democracy with ballots made by the campers throughout the week.

After Kangaroo Court, we got ready for dinner . For Dinner we had taco salad! Then we cleaned up dinner we went to a campfire, where campers were given awards and also had s’mores. Our final campfire and steps in the right direction always provided a heartwarming goodbye as we leave camp tomorrow.
