Well Teen Buddies is well underway! On Sunday when the campers arrived we had spaghetti for lunch, gave them a tour of our new site and decided that since the sun was shining we should go swimming/canoeing. In the first canoeing group Nova and myself decided to start a few waterfights with other canoes which resulted in a canoe of 3 campers tipping when they were trying to get us wet. It was our first tip of the summer and we're hoping for more this week :) The campers didn't seem to mind the cold water and are excited that the sun is out today so that we can go to the lake again. Sunday night the Goldeye Ropes staff start the ropes programming with us to get to know the campers. We did a few team building activities that we will build upon throughout the week.
Monday was horseback riding day. We managed to fight off rain most of the day and the campers really enjoyed riding a horse for an hour. When they weren’t riding they were either doing social skills, playing soccer or making mosaics in the dining hall. We finished off our afternoon playing a game of Sardines (where one counselor hides and when campers find that counselor they sit with them until everyone is there). After dinner we played Gold Rush (campers try to get gold to the platform before getting caught by the pirates) and had a campfire.
Talk to you all soon!

I wish you had blogged more during Friendship Camp!! I loved reading and seeing the photos. Thanks for what you did blog...and hopefully in future you can do more.
My daughter had a terrific time at Friendship Camp - it was her first time. I highly recommend this camp.
Thanks very much to all of the counsellors for being so kind to Hope.
