Day 1 of 8 flew by today at Friendship Camp. Once the campers arrived and ate lunch we split them into 2 different groups for the week. There they got to meet their counselors and play name games to get to know the other kids (incase they didn’t know them after a 3.5hr bus ride). After some games it was time for everyone to put on their swimsuits and brave the cold lake water. The campers had lifejacket relays where they had to put a lifejacket on like a diaper then swim to a counselor in the water, turn around and swim back before their next teammate could jump in the water. It was a good way to get the kids in the water quickly so that they didn’t worry too much about the temperature. After swimming we did ‘Goal Setting’ in Social Skills and then it was time for supper. I’m not sure why every year the campers try to “set up” the counselors but it already started at this camp. We decided to entertain the kids by making our own “Bachelor Show” where Griffin has 8 female counsellors doing competitions to hopefully win over his heart by the end of camp. Unfortunately Phoenix didn’t make it through to round 2 L. After some free time we played Capture the Counsellor and if the counselor was caught the team that caught them gets to play a prank on them sometime this week. (All counsellors were caught so I’m sure I’ll have tons of pranks to be writing about). We finished the night off with a campfire. Talk to you all soon!
