Catapults – Pink Porlocks
The Catapults had a jam-packed first day at camp. We led the morning flag, and then went right to crafts, where we learned how to sew buttons onto custom tote bags. We headed to science to make slime and test pH strips before going back to our unit for more sewing – this time, we started with our Cornish Pixie craft. The porlocks shot bows and arrows, shot slingshots, and hiked for fresh watermelon before ending the day making our SWAPs. Tomorrow is character day, so make sure to bring a costume if you’d like to be in the photos, and have something to wear underneath that is weather-appropriate. It is also tie-dye day, so send your camper with something to dye (a t-shirt, pants, pillowcase, etc).
Tornado 1 – Red Firedrakes
We had an amazing first day at camp! We started off our day with some sports and games, which entailed playing Quidditch! After having some fun on the field, we headed back up to our unit and played some get-to-know-you games and made some Harry Potter themed flying keys (with wings) to hang up on the pavilion. We ate some lunch and then headed over to tie dye! While some of the girls were dying, the others learned some fun camp songs! Afterwards, we learned how to sew buttons onto a cloth bag to bring home! Lastly, we had some fun making our unit swaps!! Don’t forget your name lanyards and water bottles and make sure to bring them EVERY DAY!!! We can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow for Harry Potter Character Day!
Tornado 2 – Blue Dragons
We had a great start to camp! First, we got to know each other, and then we headed down to the field to play Quidditch! After some fun time in the sun, we went on a scavenger hunt for a watermelon, which was so refreshing after running around. After our treat (and some more games!), we headed back to the field to practice archery! Some of our talented girls even got bullseyes.

Sunrays 1 – Purple Princesses
The Purple Princesses started off with tie-dye. Our little artists are so excited to show you their beautifully tie-dyed items.

The Mischievous Marigolds had a GREAT first day at camp! Everyone’s creative spirits soared as we crafted our wands, started a collaborative art project, made our very own pet owls, and tie-dyed at the lodge. It’s not a camp day without treats – so we strolled by HQ for some sweet treats after lunch. We ended the day by exercising our bravery and problem solving on the challenge course. The campers are an amazing team! Your camper brought their camp shirt home today—WEAR IT ON WEDNESDAY!! Please also remember to send extra clothes in case the campers get wet or muddy (very likely when it is extra hot this week!)
