Happy last full day of camp!

We started off the morning with a camp classic waffle breakfast. The race for cabin cleanup was tight, so campers had to clean extra well today while also beginning to pack up.

During morning classes, campers finished up testing and learned if they passed boating and swimming. In arts and crafts everyone participated in a nature scavenger hunt, and in sports campers had the option to fall off the trust fall!

Dinner today was Shepard’s pie and dessert was brownies. After dinner, the store had one day only flash sale, buy one get one half off on candy, thanks David!

After fueling up on candy and relaxing during rest hour, general swim was super exciting because many campers were able to swim in a new area after passing swimming earlier in the day. Campers who just passed level 4 also had the opportunity to jump off the tower!

Following general swim, all campers played a fun kickball game called “Run Around Town” while the boats and lifeguarding equipment were being cleaned and put away.

For our last supper we chomped away at some delicious meatball grinders and devoured jello cake for dessert.

Tonight’s evening program was campfire. While enjoying s’mores and singing songs, campers received their swimming, boating, and track meet awards. Some campers were also presented with arts and crafts, kitchen, and cabin clean up awards. We ended the night with the traditional last song of linger. We then stood up and faced the lake for the last goodnight songs of the 2025 camp season.

Thanks for following along this summer, have a great year, and we will see you next summer!

Happy Banquet!!

Today breakfast was English muffins with the camp favorite, cinnamon butter!! Morning classes started the same, with many campers finding out if they passed swimming and or boating!

Lunch was smaller today, we had egg salad, tuna salad, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Lunch was smaller to save room for our big banquet supper later in the day.

After rest hour, we started general swim by watching a synchronized swimming routine to the song “Dancing Queen” by ABBA, choreographed and performed by our seniors super star swimming class!

After 4th period many swimmers who just passed into level 4 enjoyed jumping off the tower for the first time during activity period.

The big excitement today was banquet! Banquet is our big Thanksgiving dinner where we move all the tables into the inner lodge so we can eat together. Campers dress up and wear their white tops and green pants (or their cleanest clothing). We also enjoy Shady Glen ice cream for dessert!

After we finish eating we sing songs, watch the slide show of pictures from the session, campers get their year awards, and the LTs get their clipboards for if they work on staff! The pictures are so sweet, and sometimes funny to look back on!

To end the night we have a candle light reading. Tonight was a rare, but special occurrence. Because the wind was so low we were able to put the candles, in styrofoam bowl boats, into the lake to float away. The candles looked so pretty as they floated across the lake!

Don’t worry though, staff members (us) rowed, to what seemed like was all the way to Denmark, to collect and clean all the candles up.

All in all it was a perfect last banquet of the summer! We can’t believe tomorrow is the last full day of camp. See you tomorrow for campfire!

Happy Wednesday!

We started off the day with our daily morning exercises known as chicken fat, before having french toast and melon for breakfast.

All of the morning classes went smoothly. Many boating classes went to Frog Island today and many swimmers began to get tested to see if they would move up a level at the end of the session.

Dinner today was Texas Hash and for dessert we had butterscotch pudding with sprinkles! Everyone enjoyed a relaxing rest hour before going in for general swim. During fourth period, campers worked on gifts for their secret sister during Arts and Crafts, sailors practiced capsizing as there was no wind and at sports they played spud.

There were many options for activity period. The Hunter, our largest sailboat, went out, campers went paddle boarding or played GaGa. Counselors also offered aquarium games, where Henrietta, the blue heron, helped lifeguard the campers.

Tonight was another day off for the kitchen staff. We sat with our cabins on different docks around camp, eating deli sandwiches on pretzel buns, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Tonight for evening program was talent show. There were a lot of great acts such as cabin skits, songs and dances. Everyone had a lot of fun! See you tomorrow for banquet!

Happy Tuesday!

We started the day with banana bread, which was a new top breakfast for many campers. We picked names for Secret Sister today, the camp version of Secret Santa.  This morning was our Frog Island swim for those in superstars or level 6 swimming, or if they are 14 years old and in Water Safety. These swimmers got to swim all the way across the lake, take a rock back with them and sign their name in the Frog Island book.

Morning classes went smoothly and everyone was super excited for today’s dinner, ravioli and baguettes. We had pears for dessert before the campers grabbed store and headed back to their cabin for rest hour. After a peaceful rest hour, campers went in for a refreshing general swim. During fourth period, the sailors took advantage of the windy weather while in arts and crafts, many started their gifts for their secret sister.

Supper tonight was tacos, and dessert was another camp favorite, apple crisp! For tonight’s evening program, it was LT carnival! The LTs put on a skit revealing the theme of the carnival as zombies before introducing their stations. Campers enjoyed all of the stations including accessorize seabrook (pin the accessory on the zombie), seabrook spot walk (musical chairs), zombie explosion (water balloon toss), and seabrook salon (hair chalk and face paint). We had ice pops before singing songs and heading off to bed. We’re looking forward to another fun day tomorrow!

Happy Monday!

Today was a nice rest from track meet with a 30 minutes tomorrow sleep in. Then, waffles for breakfast!

It was a normal day, with normal first period classes. Campers were swimming, boating and canoeing all over the lake!

Dinner was chicken tenders, followed by sherbet for dessert.

Rest hour was very restful and general swim went swimmingly before campers headed off to fourth period. During activity period some campers did yoga, or went out on paddle boards, but most of camp went to the dance party where we played music ranging from descendants to Miley Cyrus throwbacks!

Supper was English muffin pizzas, but the real excitement came with dessert. Dessert was our personal favorites, chocolate pudding pie! It is a graham cracker base covered in chocolate pudding, with graham crackers sprinkled on top! We definitely recommend!

Evening program was also a camp favorite, pirates! In this game campers run all throughout the woods searching for the hidden treasure, while at the same time engaging in gun battles, by throwing flour “guns” at each other! To make this game even more special, the counselors dressed up in pirate hats and eye patches, it was so fun!

See you tomorrow for another great day!

Happy track meet!

Today was a break from the normal schedule, but we started with egg bake and cereal for breakfast. Since today was track meet, after cabin cleanup and camp duties everyone headed up to the A field. The first part of the day consisted of the standing long jump, running long jump, and softball throw. Campers competed against each other, either on the green team or the white team.

After these events campers competed in both the 50 yard dash and a mid distance run before cooling down with a general swim. Campers were jumping off the tower, playing categories, naming animals like “GIRAFFE!”

After general swim we had a classic track meet lunch of ham and noodles with green and white cake for dessert, depending on what team each camper was on.

After rest hour campers had the option to run the marathon down camp road! Following the marathon was the best event of the day, the team triathlon. In this event the whole camp works as a team. Each camper was either assigned as a runner, swimmer, boater, canoer, or passenger. They all worked as a team to pass a baton throughout camp.

After we finished cheering the last swimmers on, it was time for another optional race, swim races! Campers competed against each other based on their swim level.

Swim races were followed by pickup for supper. Pickup is our form of leftovers, a camp favorite! Pickup was also for dessert!

The busy day was finished with multiple different relays for evening program. Campers competed with their teams in soccer relays, ping pong relays, obstacle courses, and more!

Today was a busy day with many activities, so we are looking forward to sleeping in 30 minutes tomorrow!

Happy Saturday!

We woke up to another beautiful day on the lake! Breakfast was waffles with peanut butter, a camp favorite. After breakfast, some cabins switched bunks for the halfway point of the session, allowing campers to be on the top or the bottom bunk if they weren’t before.

The morning was perfect for classes! Many boating classes practiced oar retrieval today and swimming classes kept working on improving their strokes. For dinner, we had chicken parm and spaghetti, and vanilla pudding pie for dessert.

Everyone went in for a refreshing general swim before fourth period. For activity period, campers went paddle boarding, played aquarium games, got their hair braided and made friendship bracelets.

Tonight was another one of the kitchen staff’s day off so for supper we had hot dogs, chips and cookies. Instead of eating inside the lodge, campers were able to eat in the gazebo, on the benches and picnic tables with their friends from any cabin!

Evening program tonight was King Dodge, a dodgeball game similar to medical war. Campers headed off to bed, ready to rest before a busy track and field day tomorrow. It’s hard to believe the session is already halfway over, but we’re looking forward to the week ahead!

Today was a nice break from the heat which was much appreciated. Breakfast was blueberry bread and cereal.

Morning classes were business as usual as kids painted Red Sox logos on rocks in arts and crafts (sorry Yankee fans). It was very windy during boating which made it great for sailing!

Lunch was lasagna with a side of baguettes, and dessert was butterscotch pudding.

The afternoon looked a little different because of rain. After rest hour instead of general swim we played board games like headbandz and uno. 4th period sports and boating were both indoors but kids were able to go outside for activity period! Many campers played volleyball or did yoga on the A field.

For supper we had chicken patties and yummy apple crisp for dessert. After supper we played a fun basketball like game called garbage collector. In this game campers try to score dodgeballs into baskets for different point values. We were able to sing good night songs before the rain started again as the campers headed off to bed!

We are excited for another cooler day tomorrow!

Happy Wednesday!

We woke up to another beautiful day today. We had french toast for breakfast before getting ready for the day. Campers love to listen to music as they clean their cabins such as songs by Taylor Swift or the Glee cast.

Everyone was excited to jump into the water for swimming class today as it was another hot day. Campers had fun in their boating classes, starting projects in arts and crafts and playing various games at sports.

Dinner today was meatloaf and mashed potatoes, with sherbet for dessert. Rest hour was a much needed break, but everyone was more than excited to get back in the water for general swim. The lake was calm this afternoon, so both canoeing and sailing classes practiced un-capsizing boats.

For activity period today, there were unique options such as jet roulette, where counselors picked a random number and campers got to spray them with a setting on the hose, with their favorite being jet!

For supper tonight, the kitchen staff had their day off, so campers got to eat sandwiches on pretzel buns on different docks around camp. The pretzel buns are always a big hit!

We ended the day with triad on the field, a three-way soccer game, before cooling down with quick dip! Campers enjoyed watermelon before heading off to bed.

We have been making the most of this hot weather, but are looking forward to a break from the heat tomorrow!

Today was another hot one that started off with lemon poppyseed bread for breakfast. It was super hot so swimming was very refreshing. The boats were finally able to go out today and campers had so much fun row boating, canoeing, and sailing!

Lunch, which we call dinner was a fan favorite of baked ziti, with pears for dessert. Rest hour was a nice break for the campers before cooling down again for general swim! The sun was so bright, and the water was as blue as Cookie Monster!

After having fun splashing around campers headed off to 4th period where the kids who had sports played Gaga ball. Activity period was filled with campers jumping off the tower and playing aquarium games.

Supper was another fan favorite of chicken melts with chocolate cake for dessert. Then, the evening program game was spies and smugglers. In this game campers hide pieces of paper on them and try to smuggle them up the hill. We ended the night with songs and a slightly extended quick dip so the campers would be nice and cool before bed!

See you tomorrow for another hot day!

Happy Friday everyone!

Today marks our last day of First Girls 2025! We had English muffins with cinnamon butter and jelly for breakfast. Then, we got right to our morning classes. We had lots of happy swimmers and boaters who passed their classes today. New level 4s got to jump off the tower and have a fun Friday class.

Despite the heat we all enjoyed Shepard’s pie for dinner today. Lots of tired campers headed back for extended rest hour so that we could avoid the storms rolling in this afternoon. We played board games in the upper lodge for general swim and then played fun games for sports and boating too. Unfortunately, the rain stopped us from having general swim but the thunder stopped and we got to have the tower open for activity period.

We had so many first timers and it was so fun to see so many nervous and happy campers. Afterwards, there were lots of hair braiders like always, and then we all headed up for enchiladas for supper. A newer meal at camp that turned into a favorite already.

Then campers headed back to pack up all their stuff to get ready for tomorrow morning. It was a busy evening before we headed to the council ring for campfire. We sang so many songs, ate smores, and everyone got their swimming and boating awards. Kitchen staff gave out their best manners award and we heard all the winners from the Track Meet events.

We sang Linger as our last song for tonight. Campers and staff headed to bed thinking about what a great session this was, and counting down the days till next year.

It was such a blast writing the blog this summer. I hope to see you all next year!

Good morning from the lake!

Today started out a bit warmer which is what we needed after these past few chilly days! We had lemon bread for breakfast and then went back to change and get ready for the morning.

In morning classes, swimmers continued swimming and boaters continued to work on their skills. Up on the A-field everyone enjoyed their second to last day of sports. It had been a great session with lots of great weather for basketball, soccer, tennis and archery too!

As a traditional pre banquet dinner we had sandwiches. Tuna salad, egg salad, PB and J and delicious sides were all enjoyed at our noon time meal. They were delectable and were enjoyed by everyone. We had an extended rest hour today which gave everyone a much needed rest. After general swim we had 4th period. It was super windy today so it was a great time for boaters to demonstrated their proficiency in boating and canoeing in windy weather.

We had lots of tower jumpers for activity period today! Since swimming has been testing the past few days, a few swimmers that just passed into level 4 got to jump off the tower today. It was super exciting and perfect timing in case we get some storms tomorrow.

Afterwards, the LTs and Cookees went to set the tables for banquet and we all gathered to start the meal. The food is Thanksgiving style with turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce and more. The kitchen staff and cook did an amazing job making this meal, and every meal, and we are all very thankful for their hard work! Later we had ice cream for dessert, campers got to choose between cookie dough and cookies and cream, both amazing options.

Banquet celebrations were our evening program today. We celebrated all the campers by giving them their year awards for the number of years they’ve been at camp. Then we watched a slideshow of all of the pictures from the session, from talent night to track meet to classes, there were so many great moments.

It was a bit windy tonight so we did not get to have our candlelight service outside but we still reflected on our two weeks here inside the lodge. Throughout the night we sang songs and we finished with Amazing Grace as each camper and staff received a candle. As we lit each candle and reflected on the night it signifies the end of our night. We blew out the candles, sang goodnight songs and headed to bed silently.

I cannot believe tomorrow is our last full day here!

The sun and chilly weather woke us up this morning, but everyone was happy to get their day started. We had French toast and melon for breakfast and then got right on with cabin clean up and camp duties for the day.

In morning classes, swim classes started to test their skills to see if they passed to the next level, as did boaters. In arts and crafts everyone fitnjed to make little gifts for their secret sister or work on bracelet or paintings to take home with them.

For dinner today we had Texas hash and pears for dessert. Definitely a top five meal at camp! Rest hour was much needed after a busy morning but everyone was eager to get right back in the water for general swim. The wind was perfect for seniors sailing today during 4th period and cankers got to practice swamping and capsizing a canoe.

We had lots of activities today such as tower jumping and basketball, but lots of campers were practicing for their talent show performances for evening program tonight! After activity period everyone got ready for Eat Out since kitchen staff had their day off. Everyone got to eat their pretzel bun deli sandwiches or PB and Js on the docks with their cabins.

Good morning!

Today we woke up chilly as the temps dropped below 60 last night. It was a perfect night to sleep and we enjoyed a 30 minute sleep in. The campers were super tired after an eventful weekend so extra sleep and chocolate chip bread for breakfast made everyone happy :)

Today was our Frog Island swim for our Level 6 swimmers and 14 year olds in Water Safety! This is a super cool opportunity for these campers to swim all the way across the lake to the a shallow area to explore the lake and test their swimming skills. After taking a small rock to remember their trip they swam back and got to sign their name in the Frog Island record book which dates back many many years.

After morning classes we had ravioli and salad for dinner. It was super warm and delicious meal for a slightly cool day today. We had butterscotch pudding for dessert and then headed to rest hour. The sun was still shining bright during general swim so everyone enjoyed their time and headed off to 4th period. We announced secret sister today so everyone had time to make a gift for their secret sister in arts and craft.

After lots of activity during activity period, such as jumping off the tower, gaga ball, taking out paddle boards and sunfish, everyone got ready for supper. We had tacos tonight with a newer dessert, sugar cookies. They were super delicious and a perfect end to the day.

Later for evening program was LT Carnival! This evening program is super special because all of the LTs from this session put together a carnival full of different games all based on a theme. This session’s theme was mermaids. All of the LTs put on a great skit and then had super fun stations. Campers enjoyed walking around going to Trident Fighting, Bubble Toss, Mermaid Makeover, Pin the Tail on the Mermaid and more!

We ended the night with popsicles and a few songs before heading off to bed.

Good morning and happy Monday everyone!

The sun was shining bright this morning which made wake up after a hard and long day yesterday just a bit easier. For breakfast we had waffles with peanut butter and syrup, and oranges of course. Then campers got on to getting ready to go back to classes today.

With the beautiful weather today everyone enjoyed their morning classes being out on the lake or up on the A-field. Crafters got to continue what they have been making or even start new projects for the second week. After some free time, we had chicken tenders and pasta salad for dinner. For dessert we had sherbet which was perfectly refreshing.

After rest hour everyone got in the water for general swim and enjoyed free swim before heading to 4th period. All around camp everyone enjoyed their class time in boating, sports, and arts and crafts. Archery and tennis started again today which always is a fun switch up from normal sports class.

For activity period today there were lots of fun activities! Campers could make friendship bracelets, get their hair braided, jump off the tower, and play Gaga ball! Afterwards we enjoyed grilled cheese and tomato soup for supper. Then, one of my favorite desserts, chocolate chip bars, for dessert. For evening program today we played Pirates! The green and white teams split up to find each other’s treasure, hidden somewhere around camp, all while engaging in pirate gang battles by throwing “guns”. These guns where little flour pouches from old dishee rags. The game ended with the white team winning but only by 1 point!! It was a great way to get out all our energy before heading to bed.

See you tomorrow!

Happy Track Meet!!!!!

Today marks the middle of the session which means its Track Meet. All day campers will compete against each other, the green and white teams, in different events for points. It is a fun, energy-filled, exciting day!

For breakfast we had egg scramble which is perfect fuel for all the running, jumping and swimming we will have today. Campers went back to their cabins and started to get dressed in their green and white colors for the day. Hilltop, lakeside, and senior cabins compete against each other in the standing long jump, running long jump, and the softball throw.

It was a super hot morning so campers got to get in the water for a quick general swim before dinner today! It was a great way to cool off and have fun before our break in the activities. For dinner we had our traditional ham and noodles, with bread, corn, and green and white cake for dessert. Each camper got to have the color frosting for the team that they are on.

After a much needed rest hour, campers had the option to run the camp marathon. While not 26.2 miles it is a race between Hilltoppers, Lakesiders, and Seniors around camp and on the trails and finishes on main camp where everyone is cheering them on. It’s an optional race so it was amazing to see how many campers participated.

Next was our camp wide Team Triathlon! Campers split up into groups and each had a small part in this relay between green and white teams. Runners took the baton from the beginning of camp road, passing it to their teammates along the way, all the way to main dock where swimmers swam from raft to raft and then passed the baton to row boaters. Our rowers then rowed to canoes and more rowboats to made their way to Cook’s dock to more runners. Those runners ran all the way back to main camp to hand to two senior swimmers who finished the race with a long swim! It was super fun to watch and a great time to have everyone involved.

Afterwards we had swim races based on swimming level and after that it was time for Cookee Bell and supper! We enjoyed English muffin pizzas and chocolate pudding for dessert. A storm rolled in right at supper time so we sang songs and ate our dessert while the storm passed. While afterwards it was too wet to continue the games on the A-field, we had fun relays in and around the lodge and activity room. We had an obstacle course, block building competition, a relay with filling a pitcher of water using a measuring cup and skittle sorting. Time flew by and we ended the night with songs and snack.

Happy weekend from the lake!

It’s already halfway through the session, time has flown. We woke up to some sweatshirt weather this morning which felt amazing after the many days of heat this past week. We had cinnamon bread and orange juice for breakfast this morning which was delicious. The morning was just perfect for classes so our swimmers and boaters kept practicing and perfecting their skills.

For dinner today we had chicken Parmesan and spaghetti, personally one of my favorites. For dessert we had vanilla pudding with an extra treat of sprinkles today. The lake stayed warm and breezy for general swim and fourth period! Boaters got to go out on the lake, and then enjoy all the activities for activity period! There were water aerobics, corn hole, and gaga ball offered today!

Today is Saturday which means it is kitchen staff’s day off! So, for supper we had hog dogs, chips, and cookies for dessert. Campers got to eat around main camp with their friends which is a fun change from normal camp meals.

Afterwards, we played for King Dodge, another super fun dodge ball game up on the A-field for evening program. Of course, we ended the night with quick dip! See you for track meet tomorrow!

Friday, July 18th

Welcome to Friday everyone!

Today was such a beautiful day all around camp! We woke up to blueberry bread and strawberries for breakfast and got ready for the day. Classes out on the lake had shared smiles and laughs all around. The water was super warm but still refreshing. Boaters even got to dunk in the water before heading out on their row boats, canoes, and sailboats.

After morning classes we had beef barbecue sandwiches, peaches for dessert and then headed to get our rest for the day. Campers and staff were super ready to get in for general swim! We had plenty of time to play games, dive for rings, and swim with our friends. The wind was perfect for fourth period sailing and sailboats even went out for activity period. Campers also did yoga and played Gaga ball.

Later, for supper we had meatball grinders, a definite favorite from the reviews of the meal this session. We had chocolate pudding and churros for dessert. Campers were a little tired at supper today but we got ready for Step It Up for evening program! It was a race between two teams to earn beads and bring their robot (a counselor) back to the A-field from their location around camp.  There were mini games around the A-field that everyone enjoyed.

Campers headed to bed after a great game, ready for the weekend at camp.
