Video Blog of the week – Gymnastics Show Tonight!!!
Today is the last day of the first two week signup at camp! Tonight the girls get to show off their amazing skills by putting on a gymnastics, dance, and drama shows in front of the entire camp. I am lucky enough to get to watch the girls practice almost everyday since the gymnastics mats are right by the office. Click the link below for a little sneak preview of both Elena and Cayley practicing no handed back flips with just a little assistance from our amazing nurse. Nurse Lauren was a college gymnast and worked as a counselor at a gymnastics camp for many years. We are so very lucky to have such a special nurse!
One…two…three…stroke!
Happy Belated 4th Of July!!
Alumni Perspective – 2nd week of Camp!

Week #2 Has Begun!
Week #2 started today and the girls are doing amazing in their activities. They have been passing levels left and right in both archery and riflery. It’s amazing how far the kids can get in their skill development by the end of the summer when they get to practice everyday for an hour a day! Don’t worry I will start reporting on the skill development for the girls in Sailing, swimming, horseback riding, and gymnastics soon!
Last week the girls learned an amazing about about each other within their cabins. This week the girls will learn how much fun it is to be part of a team (within their cabin). Through a series of games and group challenges, during “cabin nite” they develop trust in themselves and their fellow campers. They learn how to work with others towards a common goal, contribute their own special talents, and celebrate in the cabin’s success.
P.s. The girls are designing and assembling an amazing quilt for Mrs. J in Arts and Crafts. I will post a photo when it is finished 🙂
