Rain, Rain, Go Away!

This morning we enjoyed waffles and bacon after a rainy walk to the dining hall. After Morning Watch in the Rec Hall, our campers headed back to their cabins to get out of the rain and ready for the day. Camp Cody has built two new quads of cabins over the last four years and lucky for us - they all have covered porches! All of our teens were able to meet in covered areas. Check out a photo of our Senior High girls quad:


Today’s theme in Morning Group was mental health. We know that many of our teens and their families struggle with issues related to mental health concerns. We hope that the morning group meetings earlier in the week established a safe environment for the discussions that unfolded today. It's a powerful thing when teens feel comfortable sharing their own experiences in a place where they can receive support from their peers and our amazing staff members. 

After Morning Group, our lunch was pulled pork sandwiches with coleslaw and tater tots (the tater tots were quite a crowd pleaser!). The sun began to peek through the clouds right after lunch, so we were able to enjoy Spree Time and Free Time outside as scheduled. Our entire camp is currently out in the field playing large scale games of Capture the Flag! 

We are looking forward to our Variety Show tonight. It is such a wonderful opportunity for our teens to showcase their talents, skills and hobbies! 

And if you want a look at yesterday's Senior Circle, here you go!


If you have any questions about camp (our schedule, traditions, how we get to eat such amazing food every day, etc.), feel free to leave a comment on the blog. We'll do our best to answer the questions that you submit. We CANNOT answer questions about individual campers. Please know that all your teens are in great hands!
