Happy Belated 4th Of July!!
Alumni Perspective – 2nd week of Camp!
Alice Lurain went to camp as camper/counselor in the 80’s though the late 90’s. Alice is a successful Chemistry teacher at a private school in New York City.
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 🙂
First Canoe Trip – Aquarius
The Counselors – in – training (CITs) got to go on the first canoe trip of the summer! The girls had a true excursion as they canoed the chain-of-lakes. You may ask, “Lee, what is the chain of lakes canoe trip??” Well, parents and friends I am so glad you asked. The girls started off at Chain lake, canoed through Echo lake, took a short break at Stone Lake for a refreshing swim, and they ventured to their camping destination on Sand lake. The girls worked as a team to keep all of their canoes together throughout the trip and enjoyed cooking their dinner on an open campfire! As a treat for all their hard work, they got to sleep in (8:30am), eat chocolate chip pancakes, and have a small canoe trip back to Camp Woodland. We give a lot of credit to Caroline A. who canoed the whole way! This is her first summer at camp and she gave it her all to have an amazing adventure.
They wrote a poem about their experience but you will have to read it in the camp newsletter – No spoiler alerts here!!
This is a picture of the girls at their campsite!
