Moving On Up

What a day, what a day! The counselors came back from their campouts less than well rested after a night of frivolity, and the day started right off with some emergency drills and all-gather practice. The Summer Staff sure wants to start the session as prepared as possible for

Make Way for First Aid!

I sure am learning a lot at this Orientation session! The counselors spent all day in the Dining Hall learning the ins and outs of everything about camp traditions, protocol, and perks of the job. They had a very informative session on mindfulness and why it matters, and learned

Brrr! Even my furry coat can’t keep me from shivering in this cold weather we’re having. At least the sun is shining and the counselors are in high spirits! There’s still much to be done before campers arrive, and the Swimming and Drama Staff are hard at work. Swimming Staff

Main Session Play: Peter and the Starcatcher

“When I was a boy, I wished I could fly…Out the window and over the trees, high as a cloud and lighter than air, then loop the loop and up to the stars! I dreamed about flying all the time…Eventually, of course, we dream other dreams. We change. We grow up. It always happens.
