Session #1: Our 4th of July Fair

What's the theme for Session #1, you ask?

Well, it's Classic Camp Week...


But that's not all!

There's more words that follow Classic Camp! 



And those words defined our Wednesday at Camp this year...

Because those words are a date on the calendar...

And that date on the calendar is...

The 4th of July!



Yes, Session #1 is Classic Camp 4th of July Week...


And since Wednesday was the 4th...

We crammed all the 4th of July-ness we could...

Into our Wednesday Evening Camp Fair!



We celebrated...


In many of the 4th of July-y ways you'd expect...


And in many...


Very camp-y ways...


You might...



Not expect.



Or, if you know Summer Camp...

It might be exactly what you'd expect.







No explanation needed.

Or...

More accurately...


No explanation possible.





The lake was in play!





Pink Flamingos...

Became...

Red-white-and-blue...

Flamingos.

Here's the proof.


There were snacks!







There were games!

There was running between games!

There was hopping in the middle of games!

There was...

Some good ol' baseball...

With a healthy dose...

Of rule changes...

That only make sense...



In certain Summer Camp fields...

On certain...




Summer Camp...


Nights.


Yes,

There were...


Fair Booths galore...

Camp friends to talk to...

And plenty...

Of early summer evening daylight...

To enjoy...

And soak up...






All the 4th of July-y...

And Camp-y...


Shenanigans...

As late...


Into the holiday night...



As we...


Possibly...


Could!

But then!

As the last traces...

Of that summer sun...

Vanished from the sky...


We closed out the night...

With a full scale...

4-H Camp 4th of July...

WATERworks show.


(Since we wisely celebrate...

Without the FIREworks...

In a State Forest.)
