Today was another nice day out at Camp Amicus. The kids were all up bright and early and were ready to start their day. We had pancakes and sausages for breakfast and then we did social skills (dealing with strong emotions). After that we split into 2 teams ... one team did archery and one team did obstacle course. The kids seemed to have a really good time. At archery we had some campers doing it for the first time by themselves and they were so happy that they didn't need the counsellor to help them hold the bow. We also had campers go off the zip line for the first time on the obstacle course. For lunch we had Mac 'N Cheese! After lunch we went swimming and the campers saw the counsellors throw Stanger (one of our counsellors) into the pool. They all thought it was hilarious.

The whole afternoon was "Pirate Day". The kids did a treasure hunt, made pirate boats and went to the river to try to sink the other teams boats. They all really got into it ... so did the counsellors. For dinner we had bbq chicken, potato salad and veggies. To finish off the night we had a "fire war". We had 2 fires going and the campers had to work with there team to put out the other teams fire with only there water bottles. If they were tagged by the "pirates" then they had to dump out the water in there bottle and go refill it.

The campers are now in bed. We will talk to you again soon!
