After breakfast we went to the pool again but the chlorine levels were too high for the campers to swim safely so we went to the waterfront to do some fishing. The campers were able to catch a lot of fish and quickly forgot about not being able to swim. We ended up going to the pool for the second rotation after they were able to get the chlorine levels under control. At the volunteer lunch today we filled out evaluations and did a short reflection of our time at camp. The talent show was this evening and our campers acts consisted of a beat box with rap and dance, Diablo, partial back flip, and a song. The song was Carry Underwood “All American Girl” which was phenomenal. It was performed by a quiet camper who spent the entire session with a smile on his face. Seeing this camper come out of his shell and really belt this song followed by the first standing ovation of the night was great. The oldest campers graduated and the parents got to come which was neat. I had a great talk this evening with Robert a good friend I have made this session from Uganda that is working on getting a Hole in the Wall camp started in Africa.
