Overnight Camp 2 - Wednesday

August 14

It is the middle of our week at Camp Amicus, and we’re not slowing down! We began our day as always, with breakfast, before transitioning to camp-wide game.

Today, we played Temple of Doom. With our entire team divided into four, one of the three teams collects as much loot as possible from the opposite side of the field, while the other three teams lob dodgeballs at them. It is, in my opinion, far and away the most photogenic camp-wide game.

We moved after to social skill, which today was teasing and embarrassing feedback. Giving feedback is an integral part of one’s life and professional career, and knowing how to do so in a way that is constructive, rather than negative, is crucial!

We had some free time before lunch, after which we moved to skill block. Thunder and rain once again meant canoeing couldn’t get on the water, and our two groups learning outdoor skills had some trouble with making a fire, but once fires were made, so was bannock!

After skill block came rest hour, which was much appreciated by many. Then we had choice! Today we offered, photography, bead animal making, Minute to Win It style games, and the camp classic cardio Pictionary. This took us until 6pm, at which point we had some free time before dinner.

Instead of our usual second camp-wide game, tonight we had a camp-wide dance! A mixture of throwback songs, slow ballads, and Old Town Road meant that the room was full of energy, and also ensured that every one of us went into bedtime ready for a good night’s rest.
