ON 5 Welcome to Camp!

Welcome to the overnight camp blog for our fifth session of the summer!

After we signed in we got onto the bus straight to our beautiful overnight camp location. Then while our head counsellors were getting cabins set up we played some back pocket games to get to know each other in our 2:6 groups. We also got to play a game called spot! In this game we are all given a card that has random symbols, and we have to find a partner and figure out which symbol both of our cards have, then find one similarity between the two of us.

After a few more get to know you games, we headed inside for a snack and also discussed some rules of camp, such as:

Respect each other, ourselves, and the property.
Cruise in twos, with our shoes.
Keep our bodies to yourselves.
No technology.

After a quick snack, we got into our 2:6 groups and made a group contract discussing what we want to see in camp, vs what we don’t want to see in camp. We also finished getting our cabins set up during this time.

For dinner we had chicken burgers and coleslaw. Afterwards, we went down to the point to have our first campfire of the session! After a few songs and dances, we did our steps in the right direction. Steps in the right direction is a really special part of our day at camp as we take the time to point out the wonderful things that we have all seen from each other throughout the day.
