After a few rainy days, it was awesome to have clear skies and sunshine all day.  The girls started the day with french toast then headed to chapel. We heard from Anna Potts who told us a story about her time as a CIT in Costa Rica. We learned about who Jesus is and how he carries our burdens. After chapel we enjoyed some free time, usually filled with fresh apples and tetherball.

First period brought lots of smiles, especially in PAWS where the girls took the dogs for a stroll around camp. In knitting, the girls worked on head bands. The girls filled up on pizzas in cooking; they made pizza for the girl sitting next to them!

Second period rolled around, and happiness and laughter flowed through the camp. In diving, Elizabeth Olvey taught the girls their tuck and pike dives. In backpacking, the girls did team initiative activities on the low ropes course. They had to use their communication skills and trust that the other girls would have their back.

Lunch was a delicious meal of meatball subs! The girls then made their way to a much needed rest hour. Free time provided trading post and even a fencing tournament! It was announced that tonight’s evening activity is BASE JUMPING!

Third and fourth periods came and went. It was another beautiful day at camp! We have loved getting to know your girls and look forward to this last week of friendship!
