It's Backwards Day!



Greetings from beautiful Freedom, NH! It's a gorgeous day to be at Camp Cody! This year's theme is Camp Greatest Hits: 1958-2018. The theme celebrates the 60th anniversary of camp and brings back some of the most popular programs from previous years. Today, the campers awoke to some surprising news - it's backwards day! They also found out some shocking information that set them up for the day's programs. The set-up of the game was this - two of our staff members disappeared after the dance last night, and the entire camp has to work together in color teams for an epic game of Clue (hence the name of the game: EpiClue) to figure out who committed the crime, where it happened, and what tools were used. They're working right now during the afternoon program to solve the crime!

Because it's backwards day, we started the day with vespers and then a buffet dinner of chicken patties, watermelon, chips, and cookies. How often do your teens get to eat chicken patties for breakfast? And cookies??? So fun! The first part of EpiClue, the "evening" program, was this morning, as well as chapel. Lunch was a new camp meal (everyone at my table gave it two forks up!) of tortellini with sausage and spinach, peas, and rolls. 

Coming up later on this backwards day: breakfast for dinner, morning watch, and then the ever-popular morning group at night.

The weather has been amazing so far this week, and the campers are having a great time! Thanks for entrusting your teens to us. The campers are the reason that camp has been going strong since 1958!
