While many campers were busy throughout camp, we had a small group of campers venture out to Darien Lake for their Roller-Coaster-Mania trip. It started with a backstage tour of the mechanics and workings of the Park and then an afternoon filled with rides and laughter. Even the rain came and went, but it didn’t stop us from getting the most out of our day.

What a beautiful day here at camp. We had so much fun doing activities such as finger painting like Michelangelo, beING lazy on the canoe, or Dancing like a Disney Character. Now under a clear sky, the campers are settled in for a quiet evening with cookout snacks and camp-outs in tents.

Good Evening! We have already started out having a blast. We have completed swim tests, riding pre-tests, ate pizza for dinner, and had an opening camp fire! The campers are all asleep eagerly waiting for the fun of Monday to begin.

As we bring this week to an end, the campers were up high on the zip-line, exploding volcanoes, and taking one last swim in the pool. Several campers earned Polar Bear patches and Road Runner patches for getting up before 7am to meet the challenge.

This evening, we finished with our closing campfire under a clear sky. Now the campers have settled down for a quiet night in their units.

We are hot, hot hot, but with water bottles and suntan lotion on hand, these Girl Scouts have been Go-Getters today. Our Ropes groups were climbing higher today, while others were running through obstacle courses or maybe even trotting on their horses. With cooler weather tomorrow, we plan on continuing all this fun!

Wow! what a beautiful day here at camp. The campers were all out and about enjoying the sun. They were taking in some Gaga (see attached video to see how its played), learning archery, taking swim lessons, beginning low ropes training, or making volcano’s in the Gross-ology program! We can’t wait to see what awesome activities happen tomorrow.
