In Years to Come

Today has been a day filled with wonder and reflection. It began down by the docks, where the paddlers were competing in a race where the canoers used kayak paddles and vice versa. The lake water was a refreshing break form the hot sun that has been shining on Merrie Woode these

Movies and Marvelous Times

Today I visited the chicken coop with the campers in both the Farm and Garden classes as well as Earthworks. The new chicks just arrived a day or two ago, and all of the campers are so excited to meet them soon. The butterflies are also well on their way to escaping their

Merrie Woode’s Got Talent

Today we all awoke to realize that the Wampus Cat had visited last night and left his whiskery kisses on our cheeks! I of course knew my dear feline friend would be visiting, but it’s always such a fun surprise when he does that I didn’t want to spoil it. This morning was also

Sync and Swim

Today was a very exciting day, beginning with some smoothie making with the Farm and Garden class using mint from our own lake-front garden! After that delicious pick-me-up I stopped by the water games class to see how things were floating. They were busy cheering on the canoeing

Marvelous Music and Memories

Today was a very relaxed day under Old Bald as we settled into our second week of June Session. I started off the morning with a visit to the Landsports field to see what the campers were up to—it turned out that they were playing a rousing game of kickball, which I refrained

Campfires and Camp Friends

We enjoyed another beautiful day here at Merrie Woode, with only the sunny sky above and the clear blue lake below. I took the time to languish in the half an hour more of sleep we got, and savored each bite of quiche and cinnamon roll. At chapel today we had a very special guest

Paddlers and Performers

Today I was feeling especially creative so I made my way up to King Arthur’s Court to visit Glee Club, which was practicing for the upcoming Sunday Chapel service. I didn’t even try to sing along, as I would most certainly have drowned out their golden tones with my own brassy

Fun and Games in Green and Grey

Today, I spent quite a bit of time down at the Nature Nook as lots of exciting activities were going on. First, the Earthworks class learned how to build a low-impact fire so that their campouts and other wilderness adventures could be that much more exciting and informed. Then,

Bag Supper and Showtunes

Today began as any other day with sunny skies and clear waters, but when I realized that it was the first Thursday of the session, I got so very excited for the day! We all know Thursdays are the best days at camp—besides Sundays, of course—because we have pizza for lunch, bag

High Adventure and Hilarity

Today I decided to follow some of my camper friends out into the wilderness again as they took the first river trip of the summer out to the Upper French Broad. The water was very cold, but the sun was shining and the campers were happy to sing their way down the river. At the
