Tripping!
All of our cabins have gotten the opportunity to go on a
camping trip this session. The cabins under 10 years old camped on the Range,
roasted marshmallows and got a taste of tripping! Campers over 10 years old
went on a canoe trip in either the Kawartha or Haliburton Highlands. Tripping
is always a highlight of the two-week sessions, and luckily the weather was
wonderful for most of B!
Programming!
Where do we start?! Dinosaurs roamed the camp on Thursday as
campers learned facts and chased them down, Wednesday’s theme day was on the
Range and involved learning survival skills and working as a team to build different
sustainable camps, and of course there was SUNDAY FUNDAY! Sunday started off
with a sleep-in, followed by Bunk Time, an opportunity for cabins to do any
activity of their choosing that they haven’t tried or that they want to do
again. Highlights were sailing, archery and high ropes. In the afternoon the
camp turned hippie for Campstock; there was a live band, homemade flower
crowns, face paint, a slip n slide and nachos cooked with a solar oven. It was
a lovely afternoon followed by a crazy energetic outdoor dance. These programs
are just a sample of the many transformations camp underwent this session.
Leadership Campers!
Session B is a huge session for our leadership campers. The
LIT program began shadowing this week, each LIT was assigned to help out a
cabin and learn from the counsellors. LITs bring great energy and enthusiasm
into the cabins and they’ve done an amazing job so far!
The WLITs left for their 9 day camping trip this session.
They’ve been checking in regularly with our trip director, and it sounds like
quite the adventure. They shadowed in Session A and also did a terrific job.
The CSD program has been working hard this session on their
Bronze Medallion and Bronze Cross swimming skills. Their exam is at the end of
this week, and we wish them good luck! Shout-out to the CSDs for all their hard
work this session, I’m sure it will pay off.
So, there is your snapshot of Session B! For all the parents
of Session B campers, I’m sure your campers will fill in the blanks with their
unique camp experience. For future campers, we look forward to seeing you and
have you join the Camp Kawartha adventure!
