WEDNESDAY 6/24

Session 3: June 21-27

The canoe trip was the highlight of our day, but before that, we had a great start with Morning Watch delivered by Pine, followed by flag raising done by Craig.

For breakfast, we had scrambled eggs, biscuits, and bacon to fuel up for our day. We separated our crew into two trips, with the first one in the morning and the second one in the afternoon.

Everyone practiced their skits and had a wonderful time during cabin time. The weather was very nice to us, and we got to have a lot of fun during our trip.For lunch, everyone had sandwiches, apples, and Oreos—the perfect snack after a long period of canoeing down the river!

For dinner, we had spaghetti night with banana pudding for dessert! Honor Llama and Dirty Duck were announced; Stone took the Llama, and Pine took the Dirty Duck.

To end our night, we had skits delivered by each cabin and the leadership staff, followed by Store (ice cream and soda time!), flag lowering by Hoffman, and Vespers by Whitetop.

What a wonderful day!
