On Sunday afternoon, we welcomed our first session of overnight camp as well as our new Junior Counselors, our Leadership-in-Training group, and also our first Acadia Teen Trip. It was amazing to be at camp on Saturday with virtually no one here, and then, less than 24 hours later to see over 100 campers and 40 staff all buzzing around having fun.
Our first full day,Monday, consisted of camp tours, health checks, swim checks and tip tests in the canoes, as well as I.G. skits – to help campers choose which “Interest Group” they will participate in, and don't forget - fire drill! It’s a lot to get into one day, but we managed.

Today, we began our regular routine of morning IG’s, afternoon DG’s (Discovery Groups), and even OATs (Open Activity Time). Campers also wrote a letter to send home and delivered it to dinner as promised. Keep in mind, that first letter may include some uncertainly still, but by the time you receive it, I’ll bet that will all be behind them!

I also heard from the Trekkers today, who had just completed a bike tour of the old carriage roads of Acadia National Park. It was sunny there! They saw a couple turtles and a few turkey vultures. Next they were having some lunch and heading to the beach. They’ve got some really cool things lined up for the next few days, so we’ll try to keep in touch.
Here’s a couple more pictures of some of the activities taking place at camp – enjoy!
