The day started off briskly with our annual Polar Bear Swim. The counselors started us off with the first heat of of the swim meet, followed by the boy and girl
campers, which made up the second and third heats.
To make Polar Bear status, the participants must swim from the far dock to the beach. If that sounds like it’s a little too much for 7:30 in the morning, there is the option to wade into the water at knee height and the participants who accomplish this feat are awarded the Penguin status.
Congratulations to this year’s Polar Bears and Penguins.
campers and the counselors. Many of these paintings have turned out with award winning quality. It would not be unusual to see lions, tigers and bears walking about the camp as well as a few pirates and robots.
At the lakefront, the campers were treated to speedboat rides. the campers really enjoyed skimming across the surface of the lake with the wind flying through their hair. When they weren’t on the speedboat, many campers spent time on the beach making sandcastles complete with water in the moats.
We held our graduation this evening. Our camps are for children in Foster Care between the ages of seven to eleven. The graduation is for those campers who will turn age twelve before the next camp. We wish our graduating campers many blessings, a happy future and hope they have fond memories of the time they spent with us at camp.
