Today was our last full day of activities. We still had a couple of trips out today. Hiking took a morning trip to Dupont for another waterfall hike. The rock climbers were out for another trip to the High Rocks. It was a little bit of a crazy weather day with that tropical depression lingering to the east. It was a little cloudy windy this morning, then a touch of on and off rain. Finally, back to the breezy cloudy. It made for a nice cool day. Good wind for sailers for a little bit, then just enough calm to get those rockets launched. We still have a few more to launch tomorrow, but it was a good adventure today.
Tomorrow we have regular activities in the morning and then we will start our transition after lunch. First, we start packing our trunks for pick-up on Saturday morning. We wrap up the afternoon with a camp-wide game. It has been a highly exciting event over the last few years. We will shower before dinner and then enjoy a sit-down meal that is served by our head staff. Finally, we will head up to campfire one last time to sing some songs, listen to a story, end then hand out our ten-year paddles. It is going to be quite a day. Always a lot of excitement and emotion.
While I’m thinking of Closing Day, I’d like to pass along a few logistical details. Closing Day on Saturday morning, will run from 9:15 am to 11:15 am. You are welcome to arrive anytime during this window. There are not assigned times for closing day. If previous years are an indication, we expect most parents to arrive before 10:45. If you are running late, give our office a call so we can let your camper know. If you are shipping a trunk and you have not already done so, please fill out this UPS form and email Darby at [email protected]. Trunks will be packed tomorrow and delivered to UPS Saturday afternoon.
Tonight all of camp went out to the Mud Pit for some good dirt and grit event! If we do not have pictures ready tonight, they will be uploaded tomorrow. It is always a blast!
I will put up one more post tomorrow night with some final pictures of the session and what to think about on the closing day and the ride home. I look forward to a quick hello on closing day, Saturday! Look for myself and Zoob near the tennis courts after you park. Safe travels.
All the best,
Don Gentle
