With the first week of session 3 coming to a close, we thought we would look back at some of the best moments from the past six days.
- Move in day was a rush, as usual. Campers met their counselors, got to know their hall mates, and got a pleasant surprise when, after the opening day skit, the super floaters arrived with boxes of Klondike bars!
- Monday afternoon both camps participated in floor bonding, spending over an hour playing games and icebreakers with the campers who live on their floor. Third floor skits are a particularly notable SEP floor bonding tradition.
- Tuesday was the first day of special topics--short classes taught by the counselors--and the first pool day of the session. Campers called home for the first time since Sunday and spent the rest of the evening at extended rec time.
- Wednesday was the first day of field day prep for 9-11. The teams formed and began to work on their banners, team names, and cheers.
- Thursday was karaoke night for 9-11. The camp gathered in Ern Commons and spent two hours singing both the latest hits and older classics together. The boys counselors' rendition of "Chicken Fried" was a big hit!
- Friday was a big day at SEP, as both camps switched up their schedules to prepare for the weekend. 9-11 held their mental challenge--an egg drop--during what would normally be special topic time. After phone calls home, 5-8 gathered on the quad for the field day pep rally. The counselors demonstrated the field day events by competing boy vs. girl against each other. Campers then broke off into their field day teams to make a banner, team name, cheer, and uniform.
It's been a long and exciting week. Who knows what the weekend will bring?
