MONDAY - 6/22

MONDAY

First full day of camp!!

Campers started their day off with pancakes, bacon and an assortment of fruit for breakfast. Fueling up for the first day of activities.

After breakfast campers got straight into their activities like tree climbing, archery, fishing and mountain biking.

Then we had corn dogs, mac and cheese, and carrots for lunch, followed up by an assortment of cookies. We then announced who won the first honor llama for cabin clean up this week which was Hoffman! Then we announced who got dirty duck for the least tidy cabin which was Grandfather.

For dinner, campers enjoyed chicken, mashed potatoes, and coffee cake.

For our evening activity, we held beast games which was friendly competition between cabins in the gym.

We finished our night with vespers led by Hoffman about the importance of love in everything we do!
