Session #1: Starting the Summer Off HOT!

It's Session #1!



It's Classic Camp 4th of July Week!





It's the very FIRST week...

Of Summer Camp 2018!



And the THERMOMETER knows it!

Yes, with these temperatures it could never be confused for WINTER Camp!


With this humidity NO ONE would mistake it for Fall Camp!



With this pure sun-shiney heat...

It couldn't POSSIBLY be SPRING Camp...



Nope, the weather wanted to make SURE...

That we all knew...

For certain...

That pure...

Summer-y...

Only-Happens-at-Summer-Time...

SUMMER CAMP...





Was finally here.

But we're not scared of the heat!


Because we've got plans...

To deal with that heat!
Plan #1:


Lake Shawanni.

Yes, our very own...



Center-of-Camp...

(Geographically and Emotionally...)

Lake Shawanni...

Has never met a heat wave...

It couldn't help with.

Plan #2:


The HYDRATION STATION!

Water for all.

All the time.

And Plan #3:



Camp Fun in the forest!

A little shade from our trees...

And a lot of Campiness from our Counselors...


Goes a long way.



Cause 4-H Camp doesn't exist despite the Summer weather...

It exists because of the summer weather!


Cause how could you have...


Summer smiles...


Summer friendships...

Summer fires...



Summer stories...


And summer-time-only...



Events and activities...

Without the summer weather?

You certainly couldn't have...

An impromptu...

Cabin Choice Night...



Middle-of-the-bowl...





Early-Evening...

Slip and Slide...



Bonanza...

Without some...

Good...

Summer heat...

To spur...

The whole...

Thing...

Along.

And it certainly keeps us in Lake Shawanni...

Well into the evening, as well.





(And though we wouldn't have Summer Camp without summer weather...

...It's also okay when a few days into the week the heat breaks...


And 4-H Camp cools off just a little bit as well.)
