Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding…

The bell was rung this morning – like every morning – at 7:00 am sharp. Time to ring in another amazing day here at Ak-O-Mak.

All of the campers filed out of their cabins and off to their respective choices for Early Bird. We've got camp covered by land, sea, and well…runners that seem to run lighter than air. The mountain bikers head out on the trails and road cyclists venture on a 25 km ride. Swimmers glide into the welcoming water and off on their 1 or 2 mile swims. 

This morning classes included a kayaking adventure, tennis, road cycling, boot camp, archery, and swimming! Some of the cabins got to participate in a self defence class taught by black-belt, Rosie. The campers learned some very valuable skills in protecting and defending themselves, and then at the end of the class got to kick and punch boards in half. HIIIIYA!

At lunch it looked like some storm could were rolling in but we decided to test our luck and had three choice periods including, stroke correction, a mystery adventure, water polo, war canoe, sailing, soccer, cycling, yoga, and volley ball. From all of these awesome choices campers had the hard decision of choosing just three to attend. Testing our luck paid off as the storm never reached camp and we still got the view of a bright rainbow over toward Rosemary's Reflection spot near Orange Rock. Today was another warm, sunny, action packed day!

Tomorrow brings a new set of adventures!
