Monday, July 17th.

New skills were learned today, whether it be belaying at the rock wall, making a fire without a match or making a basket out of pine needles. After a day of exciting activities, good food, and a lake swim, sleepy faces were spotted at assembly. Campers jumped into bed as a summer thunderstorm rumbled them to sleep. There is something so comforting about the sound of rain pouring down on our metal cabin roofs.
