WEDNESDAY 7/8

WEDNESDAY

Today was such an adventure!

We started our day off with Flag Raising by Hoffman and a beautiful message during our Morning Watch delivered by Rogers.

For breakfast, we had eggs, bacon, and biscuits to fuel us for the day ahead.In the morning, our girls' cabin left for their all-day canoe trip, while the boys' cabin stayed back for some cabin time and skit planning.

For lunch, we all enjoyed sandwiches, Oreos, and apples.

Unfortunately, due to weather conditions, the boys' cabin could not go on their canoe trip. Instead, we threw a big Beast Games fest with a lot of amazing games and fun jokes (there is a video on Instagram with a glimpse of some of the games!).

Dinner was spaghetti night, with banana pudding for dessert!

Today’s champions for cabin clean-up were Whitetop and Grandfather, who took home our Honor Llama. Rogers took home our dirty duck, but there is always tomorrow!

Our evening program was skit night, and we had such a great time with all the cabins' skits. From a murder mystery to a "day in the life of a counselor," the skits were so funny!To end our night, we had Vespers delivered by Grandfather.

What a day!
