Yesterday afternoon, Snap, Crackle and Pop revisited us, this time testing the girls with a surfboard relay. The four teams raced against each other to paddle all 19 of their team members around the bay, while transporting and protecting a bowl of Rice Krispies. The girls on land worked together to build sand castles and write cheers, which they presented to the camp once everyone had finished the race. After a dinner of beef stew, potatoes and salad, the girls played a heated game of Smugglers and Spies in the backfields before heading to bed.

Today, for the fourth morning in a row, the weather was perfect for Early Bird, and many of the girls achieved their best times – both in the water and on the trails. Afterwards, we were treated to a breakfast of French toast, bacon and fresh melon. The girls then headed down to inspection and are now enjoying their classes of tennis, canoeing, basketball, volleyball, self-defense, kayaking, swimming, and a running clinic.

This afternoon, the camp will paddle over to Ahmic Lake Lodge for our first out trip of the session. They will be able to put their canoeing skills to use, and once we arrive, they’ll all be able to enjoy some ice cream and play in the rapids there before paddling back to camp for dinner.
