The day kicked off with a great breakfast - french toast and sausage - and then all of the campers headed down to the field for a surprise. What was the surprise? The Boone Scenic Valley Railroad's train picked us all up at Camp and we got to ride the train! For a lot of the campers it was their first time on a train. The views were grand and tons of photos were taken. We even got to take our cabin photos next to the train! (Take a look at them below.)
After the train ride, it was back to Camp for lunch. During the afternoon all of the regular activities opened for the campers. The teens climbed the rock wall, the little boys rode the horses and all of little girls headed to "Aunt FiFi's Princess Party!" Before the party started the girls stopped by "Aunt FiFi's Dress Shop" and picked our their attire for the Princess Party. The older boys escorted the lovely ladies down to the party where they had snacks and put together a special princess-themed craft.
The afternoon was filled with arts and crafts, swimming at the pool (since the weather was perfect) and even creek stomping for those who wanted to get a little muddy in the creek!
This evening we'll hold "Camps Got Talent," the all-Camp talent show. Many of the cabins have been practicing their skits, brushing up on singing, and learning dance moves for this evening. After the talent show, the campers and counselors will head out to the woods for a campfire where they'll hear from Aunt FiFi. Aunt FiFi is the magical being that looks over Camp. She, along with her magical pet alligator Mortimer, make sure that all the cabins are clean, all the campers are getting along, and she even leaves special presents and notes around Camp for those who are good!
We had another eventful, jam-packed day! Here are a few photos from the day: (Click on the photos to view them in a larger format.)
camp looks like a wonderful place to have fun but it is sad to see so many children with cancer.
