What a week! We've had backpacking trips, high ropes adventures, outdoor cooking smorgasbords, and waterfront shenanigans galore. Day Camp had a double program this week - some foiled the Toilet Paper Villain during Superheroes Week, and others made awesome crafts in Arts Around Us. It's been so much fun seeing our staff bond with each other and the campers, and watching the campers get out of their comfort zones to make new friends and memories. I had one camper tell me after getting off the Power Pole, "Wow! I'm afraid of heights, so I wasn't sure if I could make it!" She hadn't said a thing beforehand, and just jumped right into the challenge of conquering her fear.
Last Saturday was also our July Ridge Dinner, a New England style four-course meal including a shrimp boil and delicious whoopie pies. The incredible PRIDE of Newaygo County volunteered for the event, Donald Benson and Jay Round performed, and we were able to raise funds for the PRIDE members to attend the Drug Prevention Conference in Arkansas. Overall it was a beautiful night.
Next week is the last week of resident camp. It goes by so fast...
Happy Camping!
