Track Meet Sunday!

Happy track meet!

Today is the middle Sunday of the session which means it’s Track Meet! We had cereal, oranges slices and eggs for breakfast. Then campers got to switch to a top or bottom bunk during cabin clean up.

When morning classes started, the green and white teams of each area split up this morning to compete in three events. The standing long jump, the running long jump, and the the softball throw. The captains  and counselors cheerleaders of both green and white led their teams to a fun and eventful morning. Afterwards we had the 50 yard dash across the A-field! It was a tight race for hilltop, lakeside and seniors!

After a super quick general swim to cool off, campers headed out and got ready for dinner which was a camp tradition of ham and noodles! After fueling up, we enjoyed rest hour and campers rested for the Camp Marathon and Camp Triathlon. While the marathon is an optional run on the paths of camp, we had great competition in hilltop, lakeside, and seniors. Then for the Camp Triathlon each camper had a running leg, boating, or swimming leg. Campers raced against each other and despite the windy day the boaters made it across the lake and to the final runner legs and swimmers. The white team pulled ahead in the end but green put up a great fight.

Afterwards, the fun continued in swim races for aquarium, intermediate, and deep water. It was a great way for campers to cool off in the water after a long hard day of track events.

Later we had English muffins pizzas for supper with churros for dessert. We ended the night with team relays up on the A-field. Hilltop green, lakeside green, and seniors green, competed against their counterparts in soccer relays, an obstacle course, ping pong balancing races and more to earn final points for their team.

Campers headed to bed ready for some much needed rest. See you tomorrow!

With love from the lake,
