Taco Tuesday!

What a great afternoon we had! Festa-palooza-stock was a great program that brought all of our campers and staff to the field for a variety of games and activities throughout the afternoon. Festa-palooza-stock began with two service projects. Some of the campers made kindness rocks by writing positive, uplifting messages on rocks that were then put on display around the tennis court. Before we leave on Saturday, we'll pack up the rocks and send them home with the campers. The other service project gave campers the opportunity to send letters to people who are struggling in order to help lift their spirits and encourage them along the way. (If you've never heard of The World Needs More Love Letters, you should check out http://www.moreloveletters.com/.) After the service projects, campers could choose from a variety of activities such as lawn games, tie dying, coloring, volleyball, soccer, open mic (we have so many talented campers and staff!) and a 3 on 3 basketball tournament (complete with the National Anthem). It was a great afternoon, capped off by a wonderful chapel service in which we sang one of camp's biggest hits, "Lean on Me." We have fun hand motions that we do to go along with the words of the chorus. Here's a picture of the hugs we give when we sing "I'll be your friend."

Dinner tonight was, you guessed it, TACOS! This meal is always a big hit with the campers. After chapel, we had a fun evening program called "The Legend of the Ossipee Prince." We worked together with our morning groups to compete in different games all around the field, winning clues along the way so that each team could identify the correct princess and then have the princess take them to the prince. Here's a picture from vespers tonight, where you can see all the glow necklaces we gave the campers so that we could keep track of everyone on the field:

The campers are tucked away in bed, and it's time for light's out in my cabin. Sleep tight, sweet dreams! See you in the morning!
