Today all around camp, the girls were in their activities getting some last
minute instructions so they can show you everything they have learned so
far this weekend. The Subs returned from Winadu today, and got right back
into the swing of things in their activities. Tonight, the Peakers had a
surprise trip to see the Altar Boyz, the Seniors had a social, and the rest
of camp enjoyed the Oldywed Game, our version of the old talk show.

It was an overcast day at POP, with a few showers here and there. The Subs
left for Camp Windau this morning, and had a fun day there. We had a group
of older campers go to Racquette Lake for a volleyball tournament, and took
home first place! A group of Ti campers went to the farm for an overnight
while the rest of the younger campers played Aunt Emma's Auction 2. Inter
Bs, Seniors and Peakers were all working in different parts of camp to get
ready for those upcoming activities. It is supposed to be cloudy again tomorrow
but our resident weather guru (Sherie) has put in an order for
great weather
on Friday
and
Saturday
for Visiting Day.

Today, after a lazy morning, we had our campfire circle in the rec hall and
then began our Track Meet Team Competition. It rained most of the day, so
we had
to
modify
it a little bit and do some of the things inside, but it was still a fun
day. We also had a chance to finish up our swim meet from the week before.
Tonight was movie night and the Subs were busy packing for their trip to
Winadu tomorrow.

we had the Inter B play, "Once Upon a Mattress", and the talented girls on
stage kept us clapping the whole way through.

It was a hot sunny day in Brant Lake, but even with the heat, the girls are
staying very active. They are just taking more water breaks than usual! We
had a group of older campers go to a tennis tournament today, and they did
a great job! Tonight's evening activity was "Murder
at the Point".
This evening activity is a life-size murder mystery game (like the board
game Clue) where the camp tries to find out where the crime took place, who
committed the
crime
and
what
weapon was used. The Ti and Junior A campers have been busy making outfits
in Arts and Crafts for this special night. The girls had a wonderful time
at this great evening activity, look at the pictures and see for yourself!
