Good evening (parents and friends of) campers!!!!

MP here.  Thought I’d share some of my thoughts today with you.  As I write this, we are having a bit of rain tonight, but it didn’t stop us from having a great evening program.  HCH (Happy Camper Hall) is such a versatile facility for us.  We use it everyday, whether it’s raining or shining, but HCH really shines…when it rains!  And tonight we held our annual Project Agawak!  So, what happens here is each cabin dresses up their counselor…but the main part of their outfit is a plastic picnic tablecloths that we provide them.  You would think that that would be enough, just seeing each counselor dressed to the 9’s…Agawak style!  But no!  We have interviews and talent portions, too!  Julia S. and Logan W. were the MC’S, and they just killed it!  It may have been pouring outside, but it was hilarious inside!  Congratulations to Spencer W. for taking home the grand prize! 

It was only fitting that we had to end the day in HCH, since our day began with rain, and we spent our morning in HCH, too.  Since it was raining this morning, we let the girls sleep in a bit, and then we held a cabin lip sync contest.  Each cabin didn’t really have a lot of time to prepare, but you would never have known it by the creative songs, costumes, and routines each cabin put together, with the help of each cabins CIT's.  The winning cabin was cabin 10.  They did a hilarious routine to the song, “What Does The Fox Say”, with Lexi R. stealing the show as the Fox!!!!  Major props to all for making it such a fun morning.

After lunch the weather broke enough for us to get in a full afternoon of activities.  Once again the ski dock was bustling!  We’ve really had a chance to get our girls advancing to new things, or just helping them catch-up to where they left off last summer.  Girls crossing the wake, dropping a ski, getting up on one ski, or most importantly, learning to ski for the first time!  Today we saw Lily M. and Lindsey B. both get up behind the boat on the long line for the first time.  They both made it up and skied around the lake.  Way to go girls!!!!

It’s late now, Suzi is already asleep, and the camp is quiet except for the pitter-patter of rain on our cabin roof.  Look, I want sunshine as much as anyone, but very few things in this world is as calming as hearing the rain on a cabin roof at camp.  I can promise you I will sleep well tonight!  It’s hard to believe it’s been over a week since camp started.  It seems like yesterday the buses rolled in.  I know all of you miss your girls a lot, and each day they are away must seem like an eternity, but up north, camp time FLIES by.  If you can think of a way to slow it, let me know…

Sweet dreams everyone,

MP
