Today, we have Sloan, George, and Izzy from the Dragonflies and Moose sections giving us a glimpse into their camp life. Let’s dive into their stories!
Sloan, Dragonflies
Highlight of the Day: Making a ball out of clay for my brother in Arts & Crafts was the best part of my day. It was really fun to paint it, and I chose red and blue because they’re his favorite colors.
Something You Learned: I learned how to do an elementary back crawl. The weather was so hot, and the water was nice and cold, so it was really refreshing!
Dream Camp Day: If I could take over camp for a day, I would throw a candy party where the kids are in charge. There would be face painting and bouncy castles everywhere!
Favorite Memory: My favorite memory is when I first got to camp and met my cabin and counselors.
What Do You Want to Learn or Try? I want to try and get my 3rds in something, though I’m not sure what yet.
Favorite Activity: Sailing is my favorite because when you get in the boat, it’s wobbly, but when you start sailing, it’s really calm and relaxing.
George, Moose
Highlight of the Day: We “stole” walkie-talkies (with permission) and kidnapped one of the instructors. It was a blast!
What Did You Learn Today: I learned about my route for our trip and what meals we’ll have. We’re setting off tomorrow for a long trip, and I’m really excited.
Favorite Memory: Buck practice has been my favorite memory so far. It was great to hang out with the Smalls and spend time together.
Something You Want to Learn or Try: I want to learn how to do buoy rounding and nail a good landing sail.
Favorite Activity: Sailing is my favorite activity. It’s so cool to rip around on the water.
Izzy, Dragonflies
Highlight of the Day: Swim class was my highlight of the day. I got to jump in first, and with the weather being so warm, it was nice to be in the water.
What Did You Learn Today: I learned how to make a bead buddy in Arts & Crafts. I made a purple dragonfly.
Dream Camp Day: My dream camp day would be making riding the only activity and making everyone take care of Paprika, my favorite horse.
Favorite Memory: Getting off the bus was such a cool experience because I got to meet my counselors and our section head, Maya.
Favorite Activity: Horseback riding is my favorite activity. I feel so free when I’m cantering.
