July 19-24, 2009

This has been a big week at Camp Friendship in terms of numbers of campers, about 115 and because we had our ACA (American Camp Association) standards visit. We did well with our visit and although we don't get the offical congratuations letter until October, I have no doubt that it will be coming. Thank you to all the staff who contributed to the sucess of the visit!

I have seen and heard many campers enjoy the pool this week. Splashing their counselors and cooling off have been the top responscs from campers. The water carnival took place on Wednesday and the water slide is still the most popular activity during the carnival. I don't know who squeal louder, the campers of the staff. The men from Wasie were not all able to climb the outdoor climbin wall on Tuesday because of a rain storm but tonight at dinner, David told me that both he and Nicholas climbed to the top. Pound Out Brothers!

The United Methodist Church of Kimball had members of all ages come to camp on Wednesday night and they had about 20 station in a carnival with fun games and prizes. It was fun seeing the kids from the church all dressed up in clown outfits getting involved with our campers.

The ladies at Sandpiper have a nightly routine of sitting on the deck of the cabin after summer, to discuss the days happenings, the cute guys and listen to music. Every night the group gets a little bigger I have noticed.

Our Director of Health Care had a camper as her to be his wife. When she declined, he said that was OK, as he had two wives at home already! I await tomorrow's talent show when our camper Mary does her talent which will be a song and dance from Sister Act II.

Until next week,
Chet
Program Director
