The morning was beautiful and sunny and as the day went on it just got hotter.  The girls came out of their units one at a time to get ready for flag and breakfast.  Once breakfast was over it was time to start the morning activities.

The morning for the girls was split as the Saddle up girls headed to the barn for some riding while the rest did a few other things.  While the Saddle up girls where gone the Just a Sampling girls started their day with some BFF.  Once the introduction was over they headed to arts & crafts and worked on some stick signs.  After they had all cleaned up from arts & crafts it was time to head over to Dreamer for some drama.

Everyone woke up normal today and started out doing some arts & crafts to make invitations for their dance party later tonight.  Then it was off to do some drama with Dreamer, followed by some fun games in the field near the flag pole.

After the fun morning activities it was time for lunch which was awesome tacos.  With everyone’s tummy full of the delicious food it was off to the units for some me time.  A time to settle and rest before heading out to do the fun and exciting afternoon activities.  Me time is now over so it is off to start the new activities set up.

JACKMAN’S

The little ones start out with some drama with Dreamer and were in groups coming up with their own stories.  With drama over it was time for the Pony Pal girls to head to the horse barn for some ground lessons learning about the saddle and the parts of it and about the brushes used for grooming.  Our First time girls played some broad games and did a puzzle in the lodge while the other girls where away.  Once everyone was reunited they all headed down to the lake to cool off for the night.

Dinner Time!  Tonight’s dinner was grilled chicken with fruit salad, corn and salad.  When dinner was over it was time to get ready for campers choice.  It was Harry Potter based since we are having a Harry Potter dinner tomorrow which is exciting.  So all the campers were in groups and rotated though the stations and the stations were wand making, making decorations, Sorcerer’s stone searching and silver bullets (team building games).  Everyone seem to love everything they were doing and playing but sadly rain hit us right at the end though so everything still worked out.

After campers choice Hawthorne had their dance party where everyone was invited and had a good time.  With the party now over it is time for the campers and their counselors to head off to their units for bed.
