Counselors. On. Camp.

Yes, Camp is alive with the sound of summer time.

But first.

A word on this here blog in said summer time. 

This is a "Year-Round Summer Camp Journal", and not always the best "Summer Summer Camp Journal" because during the summer I like to be out and about camp more and  in front of my computer keyboard tapping away at the internet less. It keeps me in-line with our stringent tech-free policy and being at summer camp is always more fun than typing about summer camp.

HOWEVER! I do want to do my best to keep everyone as updated as possible on all the goings-on at the 108 acre woods with pictures, stories, tall tales and the like. Those updates just might sometimes be a little...brief.

Or a little late.

Which brings me back around to the fact that THE COUNSELORS are here! (And have been for nearly a week and a half. Remember what I said about being a little late?)

But regardless, THE COUNSELOR STAFF OF 2016 is finally here where they belong, gathered on the shores around our beloved Lake Shawanni.

And how did we welcome them? Why they same way we welcome our campers.

By playing New Games in the Bowl! 

It's really the best way to welcome any group of people any age anywhere.

Senior Staff go over the rules. While defying gravity at all times.

We've got some familiar faces!

We've also got some new faces!

And they all line up together to play some Octopus Tag.

Can't have a first day of Camp without Octopus Tag.

Well, you could. But would you want to?

Back to the hill! Next game!

X-Treme Rock/Paper/Scissors.

Well that's just a tie gents. One of you has to NOT throw paper. Eventually.

This game looks fun.

And this game looks like Dead Ants.

Yup. Definitely Dead Ants.

And this game looks like trying to do one of those jumpy-in-the-air-photos specifically for an un-punctual blog post.

Back to the forest! I'll return shortly with more breaking camp news...just a week or so after it's happened.
