Week Three

(Please be patient, there are lots of pictures this week)

Most of us have already forgotten how hot is was this week but Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday were extremely hot and humid - not typical Maine weather!!  The lake was the only place to be and that's where we tried to spend most of our time with extra swims, water-skiing, tubing, kayaking, sailing, canoeing -- anything that would keep us in and near the water.

Special activities this week included the "Building of the Bonfire" on Wednesday morning proceeded and followed by swims. The boys worked hard and the finished product was a huge 15 ft pile of brush and wood which we were able to burn on Thursday evening, July 4th.  Thursday night, the weather changed and by Friday, we were back to typical Maine summer weather.  Friday morning, we played the much awaited first game of Capture the Flag which had had to be postponed due to the heat. The entire camp is divided between the Green and the Gray teams and everyone plays. It is a lot of fun! We had our Friday trips with canoeing, kayaking and sailing on Panther Pond, a hike up Rattlesnake Mountain, and several competitions with other camps including a 15 & under soccer game, 15 & under tennis and 12 & under tennis  matches.  Saturday morning was our Timanous Relays which is an annual event with 5 other camps coming to compete in a fun all relay swim meet. On Sunday, some boys went to Wohelo to sail and play tennis and we had our first "Sunday Soccer" with Wohelo. It was a great week!

This week coming up, we have 5 camping trips going out!!

P.S. I updated the cabin  pictures to  include the few missing boys.
