Teen Camp Day 5

Well it was our last full day of camp. Before I tell you about today I should let you know what we did yesterday. Yesterday was our first sunny day in awhile so the campers and counsellors enjoyed it quite a bit. We did archery, obstacle course, swam and then went to Easter Seals Camp Horizon. At Camp Horizon we did the low ropes course, rock climbing wall and giant swing. After a day in the sun the campers were pretty good at going to bed.

Today was a very nice day at camp. The teams did obstacle course and archery again. We then went swimming and had a surprise guest arrive after swimming. Eryn Murray (the old Program Director who is currently on maternity leave) stopped by with her 2 little boys Josh and Zach. All the returning campers loved seeing Eryn and the 2 newest additions to her family. While Eryn was here we played the Animal Game and then had a water chugging contest outside the dining hall where Team Wood won by a few people. Throughout the week the counsellors have been giving out money to campers when they do something good. All this money went to good use tonight at our "Counsellor Auction". The campers were aloud to bid to get a counsellor to do whatever they want tomorrow. They are aloud to dress them up, make them pack there bags, take there dishes away at meals ... pretty much anything. All the campers really got into it and the counsellors were bought for large amounts of money. It will be interesting to see what they make them do tomorrow. Right now the campers are just finishing up our first outdoor campfire all week. So hopefully it is going well and everyone participated in singing some songs, telling jokes or doing some skits.

This week has been great. I hope all the campers had a good time.
