Wednesday at Camp Heart Connection

Wednesday's theme was Showdown at Camp Heart Connection. Many campers dressed in cowboy and cowgirl gear to show their camp spirit.

Instead of the usual camp activities opening after breakfast, the LIT's (Leaders in Training), planned an all-camp activity. Camp Heart Connection Olympics was held on the open field by Pioneer.

Cabins were paired up and given a country to represent in CHC Olympics. They competed in M&M races, tug-o-war, a three legged race, wheel barrel race, and hula hoop competition. Paper metals were presented to the top three teams, but everyone got to enjoy an ice cream sandwich!

Camp activities opened after lunch with a special activity for the youngest girl campers. Aunt Fifi's Princess Party was held in Chase for girl campers ages 5-8. Campers dressed in their finest camp attire (donated prom and formal dresses) and paraded their way through the cabins down to the Tea Party site in Chase. Here they participated in Princess themed crafts and enjoyed some Tea and Pastries, aka Juice and Little Debbie Snack Cakes.

After dinner campers headed to the main stage to watch the all camp talent show. Each cabin presented a skit, making for quite a show! 

An extra special event was held Wednesday night. Campers and all of the support staff headed out into the woods to wait for a visit from Aunt Fifi. She appeared and spoke to the campers about their accomplishments for the week so far. It was a late night and everyone was ready for bed!
