Day 1 was a success at Camp Amicus. Once the campers arrived at camp there were chicken fingers and fries waiting for them. After lunch the Goldeye Ropes Staff ran some get to know you games so we could all learn more about each other before we take on the low ropes course tomorrow at camp. After that the campers decided to play some games in the lake. It took them a little while to get use to the cold lake water but all are excited for swimming again tomorrow. Today for Social Skills we taught the campers how to make SMART goals. We split them into smaller groups to play activities with them and to help them make a goal for there 4 days at camp. It was then dinner time and after that Buffalo let us know that a plane had crashed above our camp and gold was all over the place. The campers were asked to get in groups of 3 with a few counselors to look for gold, but to watch out for the bad guys that were looking to get there gold back. The kids and counselors loved the game!! To end the night we did a campfire with the counselors singing some songs, a camper singing a song, a few skits and then Buffalo playing her guitar for the campers to end the night. I’m writing this and am happy to say that all campers are sound asleep!! (Sorry I’ve posted this in the morning it was a late night and I can only get internet in 1 place at camp and it’s not anywhere to close to my room). I hope you enjoy the pictures and I’ll try to take more pictures today so you can see the cool activities we have planned for them. Talk to you soon!!

Rufus, thanks so much for making the extra effort to take and upload pix and write daily recaps -- it's wonderful to see the kids looking so happy and doing so many fun things with you. And Goldeye looks gorgeous!
