Rainy Days? So What!

Sure, we've had a couple rainy days, but that doesn't stop these campers at Wildwood!

We've been out on the property and the waterfront discovering tons of great things while having a great time. The sailboats have been out each day, the ropes course has been very busy and two groups of campers got time at the archery range this afternoon too. We've also been canoeing and kayaking, hunting for herps, building kites, hiking around the entire Hubbard Pond and so much more!

Today during OATS, there was a variety of activities going on around camp including cards games, arts and crafts, boating and even swimming and iceberg time. I'm telling you, there's no stopping this group!

The Teen Trip group spent Tuesday hiking Mt Mansfield in Vermont, and today they headed off to Lake Champlain where they will spend the next couple of days. This afternoon they got out on the Pilot Gigs (long rowing boats) for the first time. They will be studying much of the lake's ecology from these over the next couple of days.

The 2nd Year LIT group met with folks from the Jane Goodall Institute's Roots & Shoots program to learn about this interesting group and their involvement with us this summer. The LITs will pick up where the first group left off with the development of some projects in cooperation with Roots & Shoots

Our overnight session campers are just a day away from our overnight camping weekend, and we're getting geared up for that exciting adventure. I know we'll have some great stories from these trips and we'll be back again in just a couple days to let you know how all that went.

The Broad Meadow Brook day camp from Worcester is our guest over the next couple days and tomorrow, Moose Hill from Sharon also drops in for an overnight too. It's great to have the place alive with curious campers! 

Tonight, just after dinner, as a dense fog rolled in over Hubbard pond, all the campers headed up to the field to play a huge game of Capture the Flag, certainly one of the big favorites here for sure!

Except for the sound of the wind moving through the white pines, the camp is once again still as we dream of better weather over the next couple days. Hey we can dream, right?

Best Wishes,

Bob
