Day Camp 2 - Friday

July 19

Happy Friday!  Though the weekend is quickly approaching, we have had a busy day at camp!

After our daily Zones of Regulation check, we moved to camp-wide game. We played Temple of Doom! In this game, four teams rotate between running and throwing, with the running team avoiding dodgeballs to grab bean bags. It is a veritable camp classic, but what camp-wide game isn’t?

Today’s Social Skill was Leadership. Our activities during social skill were designed to demonstrate the effect that one person assuming a leadership role can have on the entire group. Campers brainstormed good qualities for a leader, and in counsellor Coulee’s social skill, took turns leading a blindfolded teammate through an obstacle course.

Clubs came afterwards. Sports club played badminton, and cooking club made pizzas from scratch! I hear that music club is working on a song to share for the end of the week!

After a half an hour of free time, we ate lunch. Choice came afterwards. Some campers made jewelry, some played backyard games such as British bulldog, and some worked their way through an obstacle course, keeping a balloon from hitting the ground the entire time. Two of our choice groups joined together for a gym-wide game of dodgeball once the weather outside got nasty.

Finally, our last choice option saw the camp room lights dimmed, relaxing music played, and face masks applied for the Spa choice. The wonderful Camp Amicus spa even provided complimentary hand rubs. 

After choice, we gathered in the camp room for Steps in the Right direction, and dispersed for our 2:6 Zones of Regulation check to end the day.
