Hot, humid and so much going on! The schedule was jam-packed in all Divisions…Cubs: Bunks 1-3, Lions: Bunks 4-6, Tigers: Bunks 7-12, Freshmen: Bunks 13-18, Sophomores: Bunks 19-21, Juniors: Bunks 22-24, Seniors: Bunks 25-27, and Stars: Bunks 28-30.
Lots of firsts today as well. Marcus W (Bunk 11) caught the first fish of the season, and it was a big one!
The Tigers took the first trip of the year, to Ice Skating in Bridgton. That’s a town about 15 minutes away that has an ice rink located at a boarding school. The cool air and slippery ice were perfect for such a steamy day. Skating with Skyfriends is super fun, whether it's your first time or one of many.
The premier play of the 2025 season is “Finding Nemo”. Those of all ages were invited to try-out, and Drama Director Suzie had the difficult job of deciding who gets what part. It’s tough because there’s a lot of talent in this house.
First bullseye at Archery! Congrats to Henry Z!
Pontoon Party Night for lucky Bunks 1 and 2. That’s when you take a cruise around Trickey Pond to see the other side of the lake, probably for the first time. It’s a relaxing way to spend 7th Period, and the snack menu is appropriate…Swedish fish.
The camp-wide Scavenger Hunt was an awesome and high-energy Evening Activity. Teams were made up of an older Bunk combined with a younger Bunk. Each team had to unlock the clue at a particular location by finding specific items, answering trivia questions or performing a stunt. For example, to unlock Mary Beth’s clue they had to bring her a pair of Nike sneakers, two blueberries and a pair of colorful sunglasses. They had to dance the Macarena, show five different letters in ASL and figure out how many years Mary Beth has been a teacher.
One more first -- the first Intercamp action of the season saw our 15U Soccer club play a trio of games in a round-robin tourney on the road, finishing with a win a loss and a tie. Coach Spencer lauded the total team effort, led by 7 different goal scorers – well done boys!
