Yet another week has flown by at Windsor Mountain.
We were excited to see so many familiar faces and meet new families yesterday! We hope you enjoyed all that visiting day had to offer from the entertaining morning meeting, to the delicious brunch, lunch line entertainment, and fabulous theatre festival performance (great job to all those involved!). For photos from Visiting Day and the rest of week please click here.
Leading up to visiting day the week was full of energy. Tuesday morning began with the Respect morning meeting run by the girls from Goldrush. The Alpha Wolf evening activity left the campus saturated in different howls and wolf calls as groups of campers sought out their “alpha wolf”. Wednesday began with a whirlwind of music – morning meeting was run by the music department afterall! In the evening campers gathered by living unit for big living unit night which included tent unit idol and an evening at the waterfront. On Thursday we celebrated Jamaica Day at morning meeting and gathered for our weekly community celebration (sing) in the evening. Friday’s morning meeting received some help from the LITs, and the evening’s activity found campers working together to solve the mystery or who or what might have created the hole we discovered the week before. Saturday’s morning meeting filled the pine grove with laughter as campers learned ways to have a successful visiting day.
Today, Monday, marked the start of our international rotation. Classes, meals, morning meetings, and evening activities include an international flair as our campers and staff from around the world share information about their home countries. We enjoyed a Mexican themed burrito dinner this evening and will be “traveling around the world” tomorrow night visiting the booths of various countries including Mexico, Russia, Australia, England, Germany, and Jamaica among others. Some of this week’s classes with international themes include “World Cup Cricket”, “Greek Goddesses”, “International Rock Band”, “How to be a Kiwi”, and “English Ettiquette”. By the middle of the week we’re all sure to have learned one new piece of information about another culture represented at camp.
With only 9 days of camp left we know time will fly, and we’re making the most of every moment between now and the 20th. Our final update and batch of photos will be posted next Monday along with reminders about closing day, so be sure to check the blog on the 17th.
Until then…
Enjoy the photos and the final days of summer!
