Camp is off to a great start!  The campers arrived on Thursday and were pretty much unpacked and settled in and ready to go.  Friday morning, the bell rang at 7:15 and several boys took an early morning dip in Panther Pond.  Flag raising was followed by breakfast and then cabin clean up.  All of the campers had a quick swim test that morning to determine their swim groups.  We also started our orientation period where the boys go to several activites with their cabin.  Each cabin must get to riflery, archery, woodshop and sailing before we can start sign ups.  Swim groups were assigned Saturday morning and instructional swim has begun!

Friday afternoon, we had our first "Friday Candy" line when each boy can chose 2 candy bars and a soda -- always a highlight of the week!  Saturday night, we were lucky as the predicted showers held off and the cabins were able to have their cookouts.  We cook by cabin that night. The boys help the counselors collect the wood, keep the fire going, cook the hamburgers, and clean up.

This next week will be our first full week and there will be lots happening. The Crows and Hawks cabins will be going out on their camping trips and sign-ups will begin.  We have been very lucky so far with the weather.  Rain has been predicted every day but we have just seen a few showers and the sun was out all day on Sunday.
