Tuesday was a typical summer day up here in Central Virginia. The morning was warm and as the day progressed the temperature continued to rise. By the afternoon a threat of storms lingered in the air. Sure enough thunder prompted a 30 minute delay of the second set of games. During dinner we could hear more banging and booming, but this time the storm actually blew in.
The first group to spend the night out by the skeet range enjoyed a campfire and some snacks. They seemed happy and relatively well rested.
At the morning meeting Coach Alexander commended the troops for a great night on dorm and their excellent behavior in the dining room. I don't know what it is about this group of campers, but this year they really seem to have caught on to the Woodberry Way. Coach gave special praise to the coaches for setting good examples and leading the way. They've been great teachers. Good job guys!
We did manage to play some games after dinner last night. The campers were shuttled down the hill in mini buses. Two basketball games and one hockey game was played in the Barbee. This is actually fun to do once in a while. The teams that sat out because of the cancellations (due to the storm) were able to cheer from the sidelines. This made for an exciting hour of competition. Things cleared up in time for the groups to head up the hill for meetings and Fir Tree. We had to cancel camping due to the threat of more storms.
This morning a good portion of our group is gearing up for a hike up Old Rag Mountain. The rest of camp will stay behind to watch the World Cup match between USA and Algeria. Once the game is finished this same group will hike the Woodberry Perimeter Trail.
Enjoy the game scores and slide show from yesterday!
