It’s a beautiful day in Downtown Greeley! The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and though it may pour again tomorrow, we ran and swam and somersaulted and boated and yoga-posed all day long!
Polar Bears dove into to the lake this morning before wakeup, we ate some DELICIOUS French toast sticks, berries and whipped cream for breakfast, and we danced and sang our hearts out at lineup as we announced our second set of at-camp negative Covid PCR tests. During junior choice, some headed to play practice, some participated in a jogging scavenger hunt, some tumbled in gymnastics, many danced, and others played the beloved camp game of GAGA!
Today we also signed up for the Greeley games! This year, beginning next week, we’ll be playing intercamp games with Lake Owego Camp and Pine Forest Camp (our brother and sister camps, all following the same Covid protocols, all with the same Covid testing schedule and negative tests)! We’ll play softball, baketball, soccer, kickball, a swim meet and so much more!
For dinner: BBQ chicken, corn, matzoh ball soup, challah, and grilled veggies. YUM! Oh, and CANTEEN!
Around camp there was so much excitement in the air (as per usual!), probably even more so because the big reveal is tonight! Big/Little Sister Campfire!
Our Timber Tops tradition is that all first-year campers get a big sister, and sometimes they even two (a pair of sisters)!For the first few days of camp, big sisters anonymously gift their little sisters with small tokens and special camp experiences like scavenger hunts! At our first campfire of the summer, our big sisters will slowly walk down to our Lake Selma fire pit with lit candles singing “make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other gold.” Little sisters will be waiting down by the lake with other first-time campers in each bunk, and when their big sisters find them, each pair blows out their candle and makes a wish, together, for the summer! The rest of the night is an evening of song and new friendships. Big sisters are special friends at camp and often for life. It’s going to be another awesome night at camp, but this one might just be a little more awesome than the rest.
