We had a chillier morning here at Asto Wamah to start off the second day of our coed session. Luckily, Sue, our fantastic cook, was prepared, serving us warm cinnamon bread and hot chocolate for breakfast. Following cabin clean up and camp duties, the sun was peaking out of the clouds and campers enjoyed a busy morning of swimming, sports, arts & crafts, nature and boating! With one day under their belts, campers have already been improving on their front crawl and fisherman’s row. After a filling lunch of meatballs, mashed potatoes and corn, campers took advantage of some down time during rest hour. Campers soon re-emerged from their cabins excited to jump into the lake for general swim or to take part in a rousing game of gaga ball. After swimming for rings or floating on noodles, everyone transitioned to fourth period to finish up their classes for the day. For activity period, campers were able to choose from badminton, stand up paddle boards, card games and jumping from the tower. A few lucky campers were able to go for a ride on the “Hunter”. The Hunter is our largest sailboat that campers and staff enjoy on windy days! Following activity period everyone enjoyed chicken patties, chips, and carrots, with apple crisp to finish off the meal. Campers are now gathering for our evening program! Tonight we are playing a long time favorite, “Spies and Smugglers”. In this game campers try to smuggle points up from the flagpole to the A-Field without being tagged. Everyone will be sure to fall right to sleep after such a busy day!
