First Canoe Trip – Aquarius

Posted by on June 30, 2012

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!

Campfire Night – Video Blog of the Week

Posted by on June 28, 2012

Campfire Night!

Every Wednesday night at Camp Woodland we have cookout for supper followed by campfire!  The campfire entertainment comes to life by our fearless leaders “Lou-Anne and Hazel”.  Lou-Anne and Hazel are from a far off land where sugar whales and tinker bell umbrellas live in harmony.  Hazel made a splash (literally) arriving by playak to greet the girls at the waterfront.  Every week each cabin is in charge of coming up with a skit or a song for the evening.

Tonight we got a special treat!  Emily G. from Hilltop played the Ukulele and lead her cabin in singing “I’m Yours” by Jason Marz.  Check it out – this cabin is super talented!
