It was a great day and the best part was, this event was not thrown by Camp, but rather by FRIENDS of Camp.
And with friends like these who needs better friends? Not us! We've got the best friends there are.
If you couldn't make it, here's a little digital photo tour of what went down at our very first Fall Fest, and hopefully you can join us in person next October.
 |
| How do you know this picture was taken at a Fall Fest? |
 |
| Pumpkins. That's how. Pumpkins. |
 |
| There were games! |
 |
| And pumpkin launching games! (More on that later.) |
 |
| Hot cider! |
 |
| Pumpkins roasting (or drying) near an open fire. |
 |
| Fall tie die and autumn bell ringing! |
 |
| The Fun Run begins! On your mark, get set... |
 |
| Go! |
 |
| And off they went. |
 |
| On a great 5k course winding through Stokes Forest... |
 |
| And just a few kilometers later (like five of them), it finished with a lap along Lake Shawanni... |
 |
| Around Camp, and down into the bowl. |
 |
| Neck and Neck! Photo Finish! Other Running Term! |
 |
| These two weren't running! They only ran far enough for this picture to be taken. |
 |
| Aren't you forgetting something, Adam? |
 |
| That's right. You run faster with the Camp logo showing. |
 |
| Larry finished first! |
 |
| Woodrow finished last. The guy behind Woodrow doesn't count. |
 |
| Nothing cozier than a Fall Dining Hall. |
 |
| Arts and Crafts! |
 |
| Relaxing post-Fun Running. |
 |
| Fall photo ops with friends. |
 |
| Or with creative hats. Whichever. |
 |
| There were custom t-shirts... |
 |
| To be tie dyed in exclusive fall fashion... |
 |
| And the hand prints to prove it. |
 |
| Pumpkin painting! |
 |
| Pumpkin hunting! |
 |
| Pumpkin finding! |
 |
| And pumpkin raffle prizes. |
 |
| Refreshing refreshments. |
 |
| The Dining Hall porch is a great place to hang out, no matter the season. |
 |
| A great morning, for old friends and new. |
 |
| See! |
 |
| I promised more pumpkin launching. |
 |
| Lake Shawanni was too cold to swim in... |
 |
| Unless you're a pumpkin. |
 |
| If you're a pumpkin, the water temperature was perfect. |
 |
| (And even if it wasn't, we didn't hear them complaining.) |
 |
| Every event or happening at Camp includes a couple things that can only occur at that event. |
 |
| Hurling pumpkins into the lake is one of those things. |
 |
| I'm pretty sure a Fall Fest tradition was born. |
 |
| Enjoy your seasonal treats, Velcro the Snapping Turtle. You should get to enjoy the autumn as well. |
 |
| This event was made possible by several generous donations from some local businesses. |
 |
| Obligatory group picture of our volunteers, Camp Staff, and the founders of the feast, the Campfire Council. |
