Sing!, Rings, and Trying New Things

Today I joined the Farm and Garden class for some fly fishing, an activity that Merrie-Woode used to offer but has gone the wayside in the past years. Luckily, our friendly and fresh-faced Mountaineering staff knows a little something about fly fishing, and some staff members

Fun and Sun for Everyone!

Today was a bright, sunny day on the shores of Lake Fairfield. It started a bit late because we all got an extra hour of sleep due to a much-needed Sleep-In. After Devotional in the Dining Hall, I first joined the Would-Bes at the swim docks for some lifeguard training and lake

Time Flies When You’re Having Fun

Wowee! Today went by so fast, I hardly saw it go. This morning I dropped by Tennis Games just in time to catch the campers begin a new round of Queen of the Court, so I hopped in and started playing with them. After I worked up a sweat I cooled off with Sailing down at the docks

Llamas, Dramas, and the Great Race-ama

Today we had some very special visitors; the llamas! The Farm & Garden and Earthworks classes were in for a treat when they got to run around the waterfall field with the cool creatures. Also in the morning the scene study class began their staging and the Would-Bes went on

Another Day of Sun and Fun

Woohoo! Today was invigorating and full of folly! In the morning I stopped by the lake to catch a glimpse of the swimmers. They have grown so much over the last two weeks! After some splashing, I took a dive with the sailors as they practiced capsizing, much to their delight, and

Thankful to be in Carolina in the morning! It feels like summer is in full swing as we enter our third week of Main session and I am ready to face the weeks ahead.  This morning, I dropped by Scene Study to congratulate the newly cast actors and the three camper directors and

Thankful for Thursdays

Thursdays at Merrie-Woode are the best days, not just because all days at Merrie-Woode are fantastic, but also because of pizza, Bag Supper, Movie Night, and overall Thursday shenanigans! Today was no different and I spent the morning rocking out with the Jazz dance class and

Going Bananas for a Talented Bunch

Today was a hot, hot day on the shores of Lake Fairfield, but we at camp know the best ways to stay cool: drink lots of water, take a dip in the lake, and stay positive! Today I fought the heat by visiting the Dance Studio to watch the Hip Hop class work on their final show

My Merrie Tis of Thee, Sweet Woode of Liberty

Today was Independence Day, the one day we trade in our greens and greys for red, white, and blue. This morning, even before the sun rose above Old Bald, I hopped on the back of a horse and rode through camp with Riding Staff announcing that it was the Fourth of July. After
