It was a weekend in the lake. After Saturday's successful Polar Plunge came Sunday's lake swim. Many excited kids were up to the task of swimming 3/4th of a mile in the chilly lake. It's always a fun activity and great to see the boys work hard and accomplish the challenge. 

​​

We had a normal morning of programming, getting in as much outdoor activity as possible before the rain comes in. That seems to be the new routine of our Berkshires-meets-Seattle weather.  

​

The camp has been pretty pumped up about all that's happening in the soccer world, so after rest hour, TJC and LSR got to watch part of the England v Italy game. If you didn't see it, the game was a nail biter and came down to penalty kicks! Italy took the trophy - our English counselors were devastated (Sorry Jude, Tobey and Conner!) Stephan, our counselor from Scotland, is used to rooting against England, so he delighted in their loss. 

​

We had leagues in the afternoon - soccer for USR,  Basketball for TJC and LSR. 

Senecas have been practicing their fire building to prepare for Green & White - the grand finale of our "color war" week is a huge rope burn, where the Senecas have to build and nurse a fire to burn a large, hanging rope.  First one to finish is the big winner. The whole camp watches and it's an intense, exciting, and spectacular event that the Sencas take very seriously! 

​

Evening activity was a really.  big.  deal (for some). The Cherokees - one of our upper senior bunks, got to have a social at our sister camp Danbee. So, they were able to have a night off campus AND see girls. The other two upper senior bunks Algonquin and Seneca, hosted the ladies here. Needless to say, we had a lot of happy campers after seeing some new faces!

​

Meanwhile, TJC watched "Inside Out" in Kruger Hall while LSR watched Moana. Don't worry guys, you'll have your day in the sun soon enough...
