An Aloha Experience on Hawaiian Day at Camp

Parents, you have entrusted us with some GREAT campers this week! This is one happy place! Tuesday was Hawaiian Day and the aloha spirit was alive and well. Take a look at some of our fun.

Canoeing on Lake Culpeper and fishing along its banks...

 Aiming for the bullseye in Archery...

Navigating the High Ropes Course...

Working together on Low Ropes initiatives...

Conquering fears on the climbing wall...

The evening program was Cruise Ship Games to go along with our vacation theme. While there was no shuffleboard, there were other games such as...

Beach ball carry. Place a beach ball between your and your partner's back; race down to your counselor and back to your pack for a relay race.

Sling-shot a wet sponge toward a bucket. A teammate wrings out the sponge and the team to get the most water in the bucket after a certain time period wins.

Did we mention Hawaiian Day? These are 4-H clover shirts for the Great Bears and 4-H Agents. Missing: Lil K. She was working hard!

Then it was time to dress your counselor. You're a good sport, Toad!

On a warmer evening, this would have felt great! Fishing marbles from a pond of icy water! One pack retrieved ALL of the marbles!

What's a cruise ship without a fun family photo???

We sure couldn't do this without our adult volunteers. Thanks, Smylyn!

Another happy family (pack)!

His photo prop says it all!

And a beautiful campfire to end our day. The Great Bears and teen counselors are doing a FANTASTIC job of leading very spirited campfires, and the packs are putting together great skits, challenges, and chants! Again, parents, you've entrusted us with a great group!!!
