Sunshine and Smiles

Camp couldn’t have asked for a better day! The weather was everything you dream of in summer: warm, breezy, and perfect for being outside. When given the choice of activities this morning, the campers voted as one voice: back to the lake! And what a choice it was. Between swimming, splashing, and relaxing by the shore, the hours seemed to melt away in the best possible way.


Nothing says “summer at camp” like a sweet treat, and this afternoon popsicles hit the spot. Sticky fingers, colorful smiles, and a whole lot of “mmm”s could be found all around.

And dinner tonight was a classic cookout: hamburgers, hot dogs, and juicy slices of watermelon. Plates were piled high and spirits were just as full as the dining hall rang with conversation and laughter.

Meanwhile, our young engineers have been hard at work, and today they proudly completed the first round of mechanics projects. From oscillating fans to night lights, the creations were both practical and inventive—proof that the minds of campers are as busy as their bodies.


As evening falls, the camp is winding down in that special summer way: showers are finishing up, cabins are settling, and a group of senior boys is enjoying a spirited pickup game of basketball under the fading light. The sound of sneakers on the court and laughter in the distance makes for the perfect soundtrack to another day well spent before school starts back up again.


We can hardly believe that there’s just a few days left of camp, but we’re feeling pumped for Color War festivities on Saturday. Campers have been bonding with their teams and preparing all week with chant practice and banner designing.

Can’t wait for captain selection tomorrow!
