This completes the last full week of camp and it was busy! Monday
morning started out with Capture the Flag which we played again on Saturday
afternoon. After many games, the Greens and Grays are tied. The deciding
game will be played on Monday or Tuesday. There was also a tennis
tournament at Agawam and a 10 & under Kickball game on Monday.
Wednesday morning, after breakfast, the whole camp left for Scarboro Beach,
returning late that afternoon. It was a perfect Beach Day and everyone
seemed to have a good time. Nurse Heidi was kept busy making sure everyone
had enough sunscreen!! The campers had a chance to hid Friday morning
when we played Junior Granddaddy Gorilla. 21 campers escaped being
found by the counselors - they had some great hiding spots but I won't
tell as they can be used again next year! Friday afternoon, the Mallards
headed out to Crows' Point for their camping trip, returning after breakfast
on Saturday. As I mentioned before, Saturday afternoon, we played
Capture the Flag. The Mallards joined the Crows for their Saturday
night cookout and had a chance to try the Crows' slide! Saturday
evening was "Horse Races" with the counselors being the horses. It is an
annual event and always a favorite. Ask your sons to explain.
There was also a trip to Pleasant Mountain, an overnight to our "Outpost",
a 15 & under Basketball game, 12 & under soccer game, and a sailing
regatta at Wyonagonic. In addition the boys were busy finishing shop projects
and completing requirements for awards. It is hard to believe that
camp will be over in just a few days!!
