Just Mossin’ Around

This morning, I woke up to a glorious smell… it was Jim’s waffles! The cabin of Buckingham Palace won “Waffles with the Dunns” at Auction and this morning they finally cashed in their prize! Jim tossed one to me out the window and boy was it delicious! Everyone is working hard on

Let’s Go to the Movies

Thursdays are highly anticipated here at Merrie Woode! It was warm already when I woke up, so I went down and took a dip in Lake Fairfield. Campers in Sailing were blessed with the perfect amount of wind and sun, and there was plenty of laughter coming from beneath those big

My Shadow and Me

I woke up late with a start—why hadn’t I heard the Wake-Up Bell?? I was scurrying around in a panic until I realized that no one was out of their cabins. It was Sleep-In!!! The Wake-Up Bell rang at 9:30 today; everyone ate a late breakfast in the Dining Hall, where Cob Web, Oz,

You Are My Sunshine

I was so filled with folly when I woke up today that I just had to dance! I joined the Jazz class as they warmed up and worked on their performance for Final Shows. Even after Jazz I was still in a movin’ mood; I hopped over to Lily Pad where a yoga class was just starting. Some

I was taking death-defying-life-leaps through the trees this morning when I spotted a wonderful sight. It was an Arts and Crafts class sitting peacefully by the shore sketching landscapes of Lake Fairfield. They were planning to take the sketches back to the Arts and Crafts Hut

Like a Tiny Spark

Oh boy do I love Sundays! I slept in a bit and then snuck a cinnamon roll from the kitchen before swinging over to Chapel to watch my friend Hardin Minor (a.k.a. Captain Rainbow) perform his mime piece “Father and Daughter”. After he finished, the Glee Club’s performance of “Here

Believe it or not

It was a beautiful Saturday here at camp! I watched the folly from my perch in the trees as girls cooled off in Lake Fairfield during their boating classes. Everyone’s paddling skills are getting strong! They were having so much fun in Swimming class that I absolutely had to

Ashay Ashay!

Camp Merrie Woode was alive with drumming today! The Healing Force, an African drumming and story-telling performance group, was with us all day long. During the day, they taught African drumming and dancing classes. When it came time for Evening Program, they told wonderful

So come along if you would like…

I was sleeping near the Nature Nook this morning when I awoke to the sounds of laughter and chatter. It was the campers in Nature Class! They had collected leaves and rocks around camp and were using them in nature-inspired art projects. Some were painting leaves and then

Chug-a-wump!

After seeing yesterday’s flower creations from Arts and Crafts, I decided to see what some of the other arts classes were up to today. In Stained Glass, the girls were foiling their newly shaped glass pieces. Stained Glass has only been around for a few years at Merrie Woode and
