HEYYY campers! What an exciting way to kick off the week! With absolutely perfect weather, we spent plenty of time outside enjoying the sunshine. The day began with a competitive round of Cardio Pictionary, where campers had to chase counselors around to collect hints for what they were drawing. For those looking for a quieter start to the day, arts and crafts was the perfect alternative.
Each session begins with 2:6 Time, during which campers work with their counselors to create a group contract outlining the behaviors they want to encourage and those they want to avoid throughout the week. Staff have already seen great examples of campers holding one another accountable to these agreements. While the "Slime Magpie 2027" campaign may not be the staff's favorite activity, it has certainly been fun watching campers bond over their shared goal of sliming the adults at camp! This time has also been perfect for making camp braids, mafia, and badminton.
Choices today were loud with energy! Between karaoke to boom-whackers to gaga ball, Foothills Academy roared with sounds. What a fun day to see new friendships bloom! We cannot wait to see what tomorrow brings.
