As another great day on the lake draws to an end let’s take a moment to look over some of the highlights from the day.

Our u10 boys and girls embarked on a soccer journey to Wildwood, where they showcased passion and heart, unfortunately no victory this time but lessons learnt and heads held high none the less.

Meanwhile, our yeomen and lancers dove headfirst into our first swim meet of the year. We eagerly await their return to hear how they got on.

This afternoon, we granted our entire camp the gift of choice. Each camper handpicked their favorite activities, creating some very entertaining tennis games, electric volleyball rally’s, great soccer practices, and still hands at the rifle range. 

As the evening came closer we got our first rain in days, but it didn’t dampen the spirits of our campers as they all took the time to practice their dance in the bunks ready for the big show soon.

Another amazing day here at Camp Robinhood, and only a week until Parent visitation day, we are excited to welcome you all here. Until then goodnight from all of us here at Robinhood, enjoy your weekend.

Dear Camp Robinhood Parents,

We hope this message finds you well! As the sun sets over our beautiful lake, we wanted to share the highlights of another incredible day at our beloved camp.

Morning Delights: Cinnamon Rolls and Mini Golf The day began with eager campers gathering for a delightful breakfast—warm cinnamon rolls that disappeared faster than a squirrel chasing acorns! Our yeomen and archers, fueled by sugar and excitement, embarked on a friendly competition at the local mini golf course. Laughter echoed through the trees as they putted their way to victory.

Bayle Mountain Hike Meanwhile, our junior campers laced up their hiking boots and set off on an adventure up Bayle Mountain. Their youthful energy and curiosity led them to discover hidden trails, wildflowers, and breathtaking vistas. The view from the summit was nothing short of magical.

“So You Think You Can Dance” Preparations In the afternoon, the camp buzzed with creativity as campers rehearsed their dance routines for the upcoming talent show. From slow dance to hip-hop, our talented performers practiced their moves with dedication. We can’t wait to see their dazzling performances under the starlit sky!

Euros Fever: England vs. Netherlands Sports enthusiasts gathered in the barn, eyes glued to the screen, as England faced off against the Netherlands in the Euros. Cheers erupted when England secured a thrilling 2-1 victory. The camp camaraderie was electric!

Chicken Parm and Bowling Battles As the sun dipped below the horizon, the aroma of chicken parm wafted from the dining hall. Our bards and friars, fueled by both pasta and passion, engaged in a fierce bowling tournament. Strikes, spares, and friendly banter filled the air. Who will emerge as the bowling champion? The suspense is palpable!

A Realm of Adventure Awaits As we bid you goodnight, know that your children are safe, happy, and thriving in this enchanting realm. Tomorrow promises more laughter, more memories, and perhaps a few surprises. Until then, rest well, dear parents. We’ll see you at morning flagpole!

We are so lucky to be here this summer. Today was a perfect example of why. We have been making the most out of the beautiful weather and sunny skies that we have been blessed with nearly every day this summer. 

Fresh off their epic summit of Mount Washington, the Saxons headed to Ogunquit Beach this morning. They were accompanied by the Friars and Foresters, leaving the Lancers as the oldest boys group in camp for most of the day. The Friars, Foresters, and Saxons enjoyed basking in the sun, strolling the boardwalk, and bodysurfing. It is SO special to have watched the kids in these groups mature over the last several years.

This morning we shipped off the Jugglers, Squires and Archers to Birchmont for a playdate. After a fun morning of sports, they returned to The Realm just in time for grilled cheese! Meanwhile, the Tumblers and Bows took on the ladies from Birchmont in our house. They worked together and didn’t lose a single game all morning. Girls Camp is on quite a roll!

The Yeomen set the record for fastest climb of Bayle Mountain today. What was so awesome is that they spent the entire climb together as a unit of 21 12-year-olds. After enjoying the views while lunching, they nearly made it all the way back to the vans before the rain. The short shower didn’t damper the mood as they stopped at Cozy Corner on the way home for some well-deserved ice cream.

This evening, the Quills defeated the Foresters in the 2024 Challenge Cup in a modified game of volleyball. In addition to the glory, the Quills will receive pizza and ice cream, get to customize a championship t-shirt, and own the Cup over the next 12 months. Congratulations! 

Cozy Corner had a busy night as we sent the TPs, Tumblers, Shires, Bards, and Friars to ice cream this evening after the hot day. The day was capped off with another incredible sunset at our beachfront. Sweet dreams from The Realm!
