Nama-stay In Camp

This morning I felt a bit off balance after a long night’s sleep in my tree-top home, so I decided to try my hand—and tail—at yoga in Lily Pad. It was the perfect start to my day and afterwards I had the energy to hop all the way over to the barn where a class was about to embark

Lots of Laughs

This morning I decided to see what Zumba was up to because I heard lots of raucous coming from the Dance Studio. They were busy dancing away and having a blast doing it, too. Afterwards I hopped down to Ceramics, where the campers have already begun to glaze their clay creations,

And the Gold Medal Goes to…

This morning was a bright and beautiful one, so I decided to visit the tetherball courts with the Landsports classes. The tetherballs were flying and spirits were high as the sun grew higher in the sky. In Castle, the Drama class was perfecting their scene with blocking, lights,

Rain or Shine We Play and Rhyme

This morning we all awoke to a light drizzle, typical for a Monday, but I was convinced not to let that get me down. To begin my day I wet my feet in the lake and watched as the boaters practice their strokes and play water games. In the lakeside garden a Farm and Garden class

BINGO-ing Back is the Best of All

This morning, I stopped by the lake to see how all of the swimmers are doing on their strokes and such. As it turns out, the little tadpoles are quickly learning how to freestyle, backstroke, and paddle around. While I was down there, we were visited by a Photography class that

Things are Looking Giddy-Up!

Today was a lovely day filled with exciting new things. The three-day hike returned today with many stories and much laundry. The Would Bes, recently back from their trip to Camp Cup, also paddled the Nantahala River today. Little old me chose to stay in camp and see what

Don’t Strauss Out!

Today was certainly full of new and exciting things! I began my morning with a walk by Tajar to see what the campers in knitting were up to. I was impressed by the creativity of the headbands, herbies, and purses that the campers made. Similarly in Weaving, the stools, chairs,

Celebrating in Style

What other way to start a beautiful Tuesday morning than with tootie buns and overalls down at the docks? Of course I have no such hair to wear tootie buns and my overalls hardly fit over me at all, but I still shared the sentiment with the counselors and campers that were
