Day Three- Birthday Bash

 Day Three was filled with a lot of activities. This afternoon the campers were able to tour the lake on a pontoon boat. There’s something peaceful about floating along the waves, viewing the beautiful scenery and have a good chat with the buddies and other campers.

Act Two of our play opens with the crew cleaning the ship.  Captain Hookinbak is trying to make sense of the treasure map without much luck.  He calls Ma out to see if she can help, being she has been to school once.  They are confused by the letters on the map, N,E,S,W.  Ma concluded that N =No and W= Write, so the pirates need to sale to W or Write. Having survived his first walking of the plank, Captain Smiley has been relegated to the galley to help Ma with the cooking.  After another unsuccessful try at getting Captain Smiley to walk the plank, the crew sets sail in search of the treasure. 

The zipline opened up today and the campers took advantage of it, flying down the line and enjoying the speed.

On Day Three, we have a large all camper Birthday Party.  We like to celebrate everyone’s Birthday in style.  Gift bags are carefully filled and once everyone was handed a gift bag, had  a picture taken, and the Happy Birthday song sung, they tear into the bags to see their gifts.  The second part of the party is pizza for dinner and a Birthday treat.

One of our campers was able to learn his favorite Kurtis Hoppy song and was able to sing as a duet with Kurtis.  Everyone was cheered as they were entertained by their fellow campers and buddies. As the show wrapped up, so did our day.
