Yesterday was campfire day! The end of our first week. Can you believe it? This week seemed to just fly by and what a great first week.
Friday was busy, busy... In lieu of afternoon clinics, we played our make-up games. Due to the storm the other day, we had to cancel our outdoor evening games. These were played yesterday at 3pm. Those not involved in these games enjoyed the pool.
In case you haven't heard, UNC is still undefeated. How is this happening? Well, this group has really come together. They are a TEAM in every aspect of the word! They even won the "cleanest" room contest for the week.
Last night was the first of our three campfires. The camper and counselors gathered down at the site located near the outing cabin and shooting range. They were shuttled out there by mini buses after the evening games and canteen. It's just a short hike down a trail lit by lanterns. Coach Ade and Coach Tyler were our hosts last night. They were quite the comedic act. They told a few knock knock jokes and started the ceremony off by teaching the campers some "cheers"... then the "W" was lit as the group cheered "Burn baby Burn" - an old WFS tradition....
The Eastern conference along with Miami performed their skits. Last nights target seemed to be Coach Chip of the U. He's a great sport to put up with being mocked on stage by guys less than 5' tall! Addtionally, camper of the week awards were handed out. These recipients exhibited leadership, athletic ability and the majority of the great camper traits all week long. Then it was time to announce the pizza party winners. The team with the cleanest rooms all week will enjoy pizza tonight! Finally, the team with the best skit was chosen. The team that received the loudest cheer was Penn State. They too will enjoy pizza this evening.
It was a fabulous first week. All is well here at the Forest. We have a special treat in store today... World Cup viewing at 2:30pm.. Should be a great chance for the campers to take a breather and enjoy the a.c. Go USA!!!!
