Camp Friendship staff welcomed 74 children and adults on Sunday. With suitcases in hand and fun in their minds, they set out for a great adventure. After settling into their cabins, participants enjoyed cookies, graham crackers and juice at the hayride before checking out program areas like music, art and boating. After Sunday evening supper, song and laughter bounced across the camp from the Campfire Extravaganza.
The season’s first island camp out was enjoyed on Monday by teenage boys, who are residing in our Basswood Cabin. The campers who attended told me they most enjoyed grilling cheeseburgers and ‘smores over the campfire while listening to the night sounds of the lake. Despite the rain falling hard outside they enjoyed their island adventure.
Participants are enjoying creating superhero costumes; tissue papers collages and welcome signs for tonight’s entertainment, in Arts & Crafts with Program Leaders Sunny and Lorna.
This year the Wild Turkey Foundation donated money for Friendship Ventures so we could buy new archery equipment (Thanks guys!). New recurved bows, and compound bows are helping campers take air a little easier than in previous years. Program Leader Earnest is one of the instructors who lead archery, as well as the morning stretches and recreation activities such as tandem bike riding and basketball.
Enjoy the rest of your week; I know we will at camp!
In Friendship,
Chet
