Week 3
Bugle Call
We have had a crazy week this week! With just one week left in the three-week session, we packed in as many fan-favorite activities as we could! We started with a bang on Sunday with the forever favorite activity Hunger Games. All of the campers had so much fun running around Camp competing to be the last camper standing.
On Monday, we enjoyed the classic game Human Stratego. The campers always enjoy this game because they all get to play different roles and strategize together. It is always super fun for everyone!
Tuesday we got to spend the entire day celebrating the 4th of July with Leelanau! We had a jam-packed day even starting with some cabins doing 4th of July-themed dips. We spent the morning giving everyone face and body paint before heading to the Glen Arbor parade. Everyone decorated the Big Blue Bus at the parade. They then got to be in the parade! The Waukeenas got to ride in the bus and throw candy while the Wildwoods walked and sang songs. In the afternoon the campers “prepared” to fight the British for their freedom. Campers went through stations that included activities such as a water balloon toss, an obstacle course, and a waterslide. After they finished preparing all of the campers swam out to the raft to capture Queen Elizabeth and King Charles and win independence! Even after all of this, the day wasn’t over yet! After dinner, the Waukeenas had a fun little bonfire on the beach where they got to swim and roast marshmallows, and the Wildwoods went on a hike up pyramid point and played some fun bonding games like Python Tag and Perch on a birdie. The day was a huge hit!
Wednesday we had Cabin Day at Camp. Our cabins got to do so many fun activities with their cabin days including a cookie baking challenge, doing the Ropes Course, and going down the Zipline! For the Evening Activity, of course, we had our Wednesday Night Church and testimony meeting. We love hearing all of the healing and gratitude that comes from being at Camp.
On Thursday night we all had a blast playing a Toy Story themed game of Clue! The kids had a blast solving the mystery. Friday we had a sleep-in! We all got to sleep in an extra hour and ate breakfast at North Star. That afternoon we got everybody packed up and ready to leave the next morning. We had our Final Banquet and Pine Boughs ceremony to wrap up the final day of the three-week session.
We said goodbye to the three-weekers on Saturday after one last dip. We had the best time this session and are so excited for the four-week session to being! All of the three-week campers will be missed and we hope to see you all again next summer!
