Staff Training Triatholon

Summer Camp starts early!

When the bell rings not ONLY do the counselors have to wake up, but they've also got to jump right into our world-famous morning activities!

How in the world could we train a staff to be prepared for such things!

Our First-Ever-A.M.-Morning-Time-Very-Early-Camp-Activities-Triathlon is how.




Yes, we woke up, bright and early as bright and early gets.

We were all assigned our triathlon numbers. 

Yes. All of us. 


Stretched before the big event. 

C'mon, everyone now.

Loosen up.


For our First Event!

The Rooster Run!


Well, Rooster Run.

Or Rooster jog.

Or even more popularly, Rooster walk.


And on to Event #2!





Golden!




Eagle!

Yoga!

It seemed the second event was mostly just a return to stretching.



Downward Dog.

Warrior!

Or something!

I was trying too hard to touch my toes to catch any of the names. 

But it certainly was a serene moment...

Before we moved on...

To the THIRD EVENT!


POLAR! 
BEAR!
SWIM!

SORRY

(Why?!?)

Cause we were all so excited to jump in Lake Shawanni we forgot to take any pictures. And besides, since we were all in the lake no one had a camera.

But it happened.

I promise.

How can you tell?

Because we were all soaking wet at the finish line.

So worry not!

Each...

And every...

One of us...

Completed...

Our...

A.M. Triatholon...

And we're all ready,

Set,

And prepared...

To run...

YOUR...


MORNING...

ACTIVITIES!!!!



Now we just have to move on and start working on the other 18 hours of the Camp day...

Ready for the Counselors to arrive...


Yes, Senior Staff training is complete!

Now we're just waiting for one of the true signs that the summer season has started, when our Counselors show up, move-in, and make Camp their home for the next two months.  

Yes, they're all about to arrive!



The E.E. Staff!

The Lifeguards!

Our Shooting Sports Counselors!

Our Crafty Creative Arts-ers!

The kitchen crew!

Our Facility and Office Gurus!




And the Senior Staff.
It's not till they all get here and join together that the Summer Staff of 2016 truly forms.

So naturally... we can't wait!

Which is good. 

Because we don't have to wait long now...

Summer for Certain

Senior Staff Hike!

Yes, as we spend all week planning out the Summer Season...

We took an evening to engage in the age-old...


Time tried...

Classic Camp Tradition...

Of the Senior Staff dinner hike.

  Or it will be such a tradition. This is the very first time we ever tried it.


Happy smiling faces! (Wait. What's the matter, Molly? You're our E.E. Coordinator. You like hiking!)



We even managed to figure out how to balance the camera on a series of rocks and set the self timer.

With only one minor mishap.
