After breakfast we had Arts and Crafts which has a new huge facility to work with that doubles as the lodge during the weekend adaptive ski program throughout the year. The campers thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to make things such as a wooden plane, tie dye shirts, and ceramics. The next rotation was Outdoor Extreme where we made dream catchers and did team building games in the forest. I was a little disappointed to see the games in the woods weren’t wheel chair accessible. The afternoon rotation was basketball which was disappointedly rained out and so we went to the game room and back to Arts and Crafts instead. We then went to the waterfront and did some fishing from the dock and out on a boat which the campers really enjoyed. After dinner we had cabin night but our planned outdoor activity was rained out so instead we had pizza and wings inside (yes… more food! ;) ). We were able to redirect the campers disappointment about the outdoor activities with mafia inside, card games, movies, etc. After we got the campers to sleep we had counselor night out which is a really great concept unique to this camp. Another cabin sent over 2 people to watch our cabin and we all went to Friendly’s ice cream which was nice getting to know the other staff more and just enjoy some time off camp.
