Sundays are always special at camp because of our sleep in and epic brunch buffet, but today we took it to the next level with distance lake swims and a super general where every activity got a bit silly, from “dunking” staff with water at basketball to riding horses backwards to capsizing canoes and going in their air pockets.  Here are a few kids’ highlights:

Asher, Loons

Highlight of the Day:
Sunday brunch was amazing! The food was delicious, and I got to sleep in!

Something You Learned Today:
Revenge isn’t always the answer. We drew on the Owls’ cabins for Silly Sunday, and they got us back!

Dream Camp Day:
I would make it Carnival Day! Everyone would get to eat steak and drive around in mini cars!

Favorite Memory:
Seeing all my friends and staff again.

Something You Want to Learn:
I want to play more football because I love it.

Favorite Activity:
Music! I love hanging out with Rosie and the specialists. We play the piano, and it’s really fun.

Miriam, Bears

Something You Learned Today:
I learned that I like ropes! I went zip-lining, and it was the most fun thing ever!

Dream Camp Day:
A surf vs. sail competition! They’re my two favorite activities, so it would be awesome to see them compete.

Favorite Memory:
Fantasy night for Juniors. It only happens every five years and is so magical, with sparkles everywhere. Each inter-cabin does a skit from a Disney movie, and the juniors get taken around camp to watch the skits.

Something You’d Like to Do This Summer:
It’s my last year as a camper, so I would love to be a color war captain. I’m also aiming for my 2.5’s in windsurfing.

Favorite Activity:
Surf and sail are my two favorites. They’re both really challenging, and you have to rely on the wind. I love the spontaneity – it’s always unexpected.

Violet, Tadpoles

Highlight of the Day:
Silly Sunday was so much fun! I went on the Nautilus during swim, and we had a water balloon fight during volleyball!

Something You Learned Today:
I learned how to enjoy the little things, like appreciating the time you have because you might not get it again.

Dream Camp Day:
I would set up the Slip and Slide, give all the staff a day off, and let the campers take over.

Favorite Memory:
Reuniting with my counselor from last year.

Something You’d Like to Learn or Try This Summer:
I’d like to jump off the high tower again – it’s so satisfying and fun.

Favorite Activity:
Sailing is my favorite. I just got my 3rds; it’s really fun and relaxing. I love the vibe.

Rowan, Loon

Highlight of the Day:
Doing the mile swim was my highlight today. I did it without a life jacket, and it felt like a big accomplishment. It was also really refreshing being in the water because it was so hot today!

Something You Want to Learn or Try:
I want to try to get my 2nds in sailing because it’s my favorite activity.

Favorite Memory:
Playing greasy watermelon polo was really funny, and after we finished, we smashed it open and ate it.
