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!
