AHHH . . . IT’S SUNDAY

Church, Meets & Vespers (What is SAE??)

Greetings again, my friends,

The saying is true: time flies when you are having fun! Saturday was a day full of meets where the campers could cheer loudly and proudly for their friends in Amazon red and Valkyrie blue. Sunday kicked off with a heartwarming trip to Junior. The infectious excitement and joy on our campers’ faces as they chatted with friends, sisters, and counselors across the lake was a testament to the shared mission of Nakawana. Our campers returned after an encouraging church from Pepe and Karen, ready to tackle the Tennis meet. A well-deserved extended rest hour later, they were recharged and ready for the Sunday After Event, which is an afternoon of games and a refreshing slice of watermelon. The day concluded with Vespers led by our counselors and a cozy Cabin Night. As we approach the final week, I’m thrilled to witness the growing friendships and confidence gained among our girls.

Until later,

Maegan

NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS

Hi guys, it’s RJ. I’m here to write about some amazing highlights from this weekend! This Friday all of intermediate camp attended a musical at the Cumberland County Playhouse! This time the musical was Anastasia! The costuming and set design were incredible as always. Some of our favorites included Anastasia’s royal red dress and the Winter Palace set. The leads were absolutely show stopping. Vlad was hilarious and Anastasia’s voice was unforgettable. We snacked on sodas and sweet treats during intermission. The Playhouse was extremely kind and gave a shout-out to counselors Alé and Claire for their birthdays. The kids were inspired by all the wonderful work and sang camp songs on the bus the whole way home.

Our first well-needed laundry day arrived and everyone sent their laundry away. The campers switched their sheets and bed. That night everyone got comfy in their new beds! Two days later laundry was sorted and arrived back at camp. Camp finished off the weekend feeling fresh and clean and ready to start a new week!

STAR GAZING & PANCAKES

Wo-he-lo there friends,

Astrid Balink reporting live from the counselor cabin on senior side. We’ve had a busy few days! We started off with camp pictures on Wednesday and it was quick and painless. The campers looked beautiful in their red and blue ties! After pictures the campers had a fun filled free day, with free swim, hikes and more! We had cookout for dinner before the overnight; delicious burgers all around! Myself and a few counselors looked great in our “grill” master aprons, provided by BJ herself. After an exciting, and luckily cold night on the dam and at Carson’s point, we had pancake breakfast. They fueled the campers after a big night of swimming in the dark with glow sticks! In PJ’s holding hot chocolate, we all made it through a delicious breakfast. A favorite all around, the campers enjoyed the extra minutes of sleep and eating, starting classes at second period. Can’t wait for more activities in two week, have a lovely day my fellow counselors.

Wishing you luck and love,

Astrid Balink.

Classes, Team Leader Elections, & Evening Entertainment

Hey Y’all, 
Intermediate camp is buzzing with excitement! Campers and counselors are soaking up the sun and
having loads of fun! Campers are learning new skills and working eagerly to expand their current
knowledge. Our counselors enthusiastically lead classes and cultivate an environment rich in camp fun!
Our evening entertainments included a trio of camp classics, 12 Days of Camp, Birdy on a Perch, and
Human Bingo, which were a hit with new and returning campers. The teams voted for strong leaders
who exemplify excellent qualities that will lead the Amazons and Valkyries to a successful two-week
session.

Wo-He-Lo,
Maegan, Head Counselor Intermediate Camp
