What a beautiful start to the day in the Realm! The sun came up and reveille went out at 8am sharp and then we get rolling after flag raising. The ARchers raised it this morning as they were the cleanest bunk in boys camp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Breakfast was delicious, belgium waffles, a big favorite, plus lots of fruit, cereals and eggs. Then it was back to the bunks for today’s inspection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking at the schedule for the day both boys and girl groups have waterfront activities, including water skiing, sailing, canoeing and kayaking. Temps today to hit 93F so water time is a must. For those who didn’t get to the water this morning, they will go later today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are no days off for the next few days so that all activities are going strong. All activities have many staff, so that when days off do start, there will always be a staff member available to run that activity. Rain can change all that, but so far – no rain!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On a day like today, we do like to stress hydration at meal times and throughout the day. Water stations are all operating so they can easily and often refill their water bottles. Sun lotion is also a must and stressed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last night, shortly before taps, 3 goats arrived and settled in. They are very cute and friendly, campers will be meeting them today. Yesterday the younger campers got to meet the chicks, the got to pet and hold them. Our city slickers are getting a bit of farm life here at the Realm. Throw in our 10 horses at the stables and it’s quite the farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mid afternoon there is snack time. Today it will be a cold flavored ice cream to help with the heat. Fruit is always available too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tonight both boys and girls groups will be having a campfire, girls are at the waterfront and boys at the ODT. Both groups will have the oldest groups – Saxons and Scribes introduce our youngest campers to camp. It gives the youngest and oldest a chance to bond, and to learn a few songs and cheers! Following campfire campers will return to their cabins to get ready for taps at 9pm. The day will come to a close and staff and campers will get some rest. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
