Hi parents! Today has been such a fun day here at the Realm, and I’m so excited to update you about all of it! 

First thing in the morning today, the Squires and Archers left camp to play mini golf, and they had such a great time! While those two groups were out of camp, we hosted a Under 12 baseball play date against Camp Birchmont, where although we lost 1-0, the defense, energy, and spirit our team showed could not have been better. It was an old fashioned game, and for those of us who like defense and pitching, this game was absolutely fantastic. 

On the other side of camp, we had a mini green and white taking place, featuring the bows, jesters, tumblers and scouts. The event was planned and executed by the scribes, who served as captains, judges, and counselors. This “mini green and white” featured the White Wings taking on the Green Spirit, and the goal of it was to provide oir youngest girl campers with a chance to experience what will follow later on in the summer. Our mini green and white featured activities (such as 9 square, gaga, and bombardment), dance battles, and crafts, where each time got a chance to make a flag. At lunch, we had a silent meal, inspection, and trivia, all things that actually happen during green and white later on in the summer! The event was a huge success, and by a thirteen point margin, the White Wings came out as victorious. 

Staying on girls camp, we had not one, but two pontoon trips to the main lake today, as the Shires got to go in the morning, and the jesters in the afternoon! Both groups of girls told me that they had so much fun and want to go again!

In the afternoon, we had one our favorite camp traditions take place, namely, the Mainers game. The Yeoman, Lancers, Friars, Quills, Arrows, and Bards all got the chance to take the trip up to Sanford and watch a double header take place. The groups got to eat pizza, candy, popcorn, and more as they watched the game with great enthusiasm. 

Lastly, for evening activity tonight, we had a great time watching our junior campers partake in the JC talent show! We saw a variety of different acts from dances to Taylor Swift songs, comedy routines, unique talents, and so much more! It was great to see some of our youngest campers with so much energy, confidence, and enthusiasm, as they performed their acts in front of the whole camp. Of course, after every all camp event, we sang the goodnight song, and everyone went back to get some rest for what is sure to be another jam packed day tomorrow. 

Thanks for reading!

Until next time, 
Cooper
