ON 1 - DAY 1: Welcome to CAMP!

Welcome to OVERNIGHT CAMP! We are so excited to have you all with us for this exciting week of fun, activities, and most of all learning.

After we all got signed in, we boarded the bus and headed off to our beautiful site for the summer, Pioneer Lodge!

Once we arrived, we went for our first community meeting, and were treated to a good snack. We then set up our cabins for the week, and holy moly, it was already time for lunch!

After eating some delicious sandwiches, our lovely counsellors sold their “choices”. Choice is a time where our campers are given the opportunity to pick which activities they would like to partake in during our choice blocks. Today's choices were rock climbing, archery, dodgeball, and rock painting!

After some amazing shots, throws, climbs and rocks painted,  it was time for some downtime in our 2:6 groups. Which led right into our free time. Here the campers work on their braids, play some games and much more.

We then headed off to supper, which was a yummy chili with cornbread and salad. Finally it was time for our CAMPFIRE.

The Campfire was… a little soggy… but! We had an incredible time singing and acting out songs, laughing at silly skits and handing out our “steps in the right direction”.

Steps in the right direction is our time at camp to recognize each other and build a community amongst our campers and counsellors. Steps can be handed out for many different reasons and for no reason at all. All that matters is we appreciate each other and the wonderful things we all bring to camp.

After a quick evening snack, it was time to set into our bedtime programming and catch some much needed rest. (Who knew summer camp could be so tiring?)

We can’t wait to see what tomorrow has in store for us, and we hope y’all join us then.
