August 22nd

The day began with a misty morning as the girls headed down to the beach for their Early Bird swims. As the girls reached Rocky Reef, the sun was just starting to peek through the clouds—the beginning of another beautiful, sunny day here on Ahmic Lake! The girls enjoyed a breakfast of egg, ham and cheese sandwiches and fresh fruit before heading down to the cabins for inspection and morning classes of diving, synchro, swimming, tennis and basketball.

Following a delicious lunch and a visit to the candy store, the girls assembled with their caps, goggles, swim suits, running shoes, paddles, life jackets and their game faces for team comp. Today’s event, hosted by Tony the Tiger and his trusty helpers Frosty and Flake, was CHALLENGIA—a fast paced competition of various challenges and trivia and a favourite amongst campers and staff alike. Racing the clock, the four teams battled it out right to the end, neck and neck, with the winner only being decided after a tie-breaking cheer off right before dinner. After the final challenge, the girls went up to the mainhouse for a turkey dinner and chocolate dipped strawberries for dessert. Following announcements, everyone headed down to the cabins for cabin bonding and packing their bags in preparation for the Knoepfli 1 Mile race against Chikopi tomorrow morning! Good luck to all our girls and BEAT THE BOYS!
