The campers and counselors enjoyed a short break after lunch and then it was time to compete in the individual tournaments. At 1:45pm the campers broke off into their age groups to take part in Basketball, where they shot free throws, Hockey- penalty shots, Tennis - matches vs. others in their age group, Swim Meet, Golf - chipping and putting. There will be ribbons awarded on Saturday to campers that finished in the top spots for each event in their age group. We actually spent two sessions on these tournaments.

Last night was a Fir Tree night. The campers certainly earned their milk shakes. We do it all over again Wednesday. The weather looks sketchy. We're hoping to get in as many games as we can. We'll keep you posted!
