I had to title this blog, Days Like This. Because the world would be a happier place if everyone had days like this. It’s hard not to be completely fulfilled when you start your day eating breakfast overlooking the most beautiful peaceful lake with all the glass doors wide open and you can feel that morning breeze. Then it’s off to play activities, maybe a baseball game or a biddy basketball tournament. After that, you are off to the lake to go tubing with your friends. You find yourself making a friendship bracelet in Arts and Crafts. You have built up an appetite so it’s off to the Lodge for lunch and it’s not any lunch, it’s chicken nuggets and french fries. Wohooo! The food was delicious but it didn’t compare to that giant sing-a-long party you had. You will forever remember dancing to Jai Ho in the Lodge. There is something so awesome to stand on the table, sing at the top of your lungs in a room full of everyone singing with you. After lunch you take a needed rest and put away all your clean laundry. Then you and your friends head out to a few more awesome fun activities. You enjoy an afternoon snack and the wrap up your day with one last fun activity to do. Its time to shower and after that you head back into the Lodge for some incredibly delicious General Tso Chicken and Fried Rice. Just when you thought your day couldn’t get any better, its off to your evening activity where we all get crazy, dress up and sacrifice our Visiting Day candy. This is the day your children had today. This is why we have happy campers – because they have days like this.
Girls Side Sports:
Our girls side had a great time at the Tyler Hill Dance competition. We had 80 dancers perform in Hip Hop, Lyrical and Jazz categories. The girls worked hard and the choreography was fantastic. We couldn’t be more proud of our dancers and the heart and soul they put into todays comp. They are fierce, fiery and fabulous.

Tonights evening activity was the candy sacrifice and it’s when each bunk purges all of its candy from visiting day. Girls side hosts the Candy Cat Walk and Boys side embraces Candy Gods. It is absolutely hilarious and a great way to get all that candy out of the bunks. Sacrifices were made and now our bunks are clean. It was all laughs and much respect for those bunks who brought all their candy to the sacrifice. And to those bunks who had little to sacrifice, we know where they hide the rolos. It was a great fun night and one our campers will not forget. Candy, dressing up, sacrifices…Oh what a night!
