TGIF! Oh wait, every day is the same (yet different) here at camp. Nobody knows what day of the week it is,…well, unless it’s ETB or LTB, then every camper knows! Ha!
Today was a busy day here at ILC. This morning we had a group of over 30 go out on a coal mining trip. Our science kids went to a coal mine in Scranton to get a tour of the facilities. They took a tram into the mine and they were 300 feet underground. It was in operation for over 100 years but now it’s just used for tours.
Lots of sporting events went on today, as well. We had a 5th grade and under boys baseball game, 8th grade boys basketball game, 5th grade & under girls soccer game, 7th grade boys hockey game, and 5th grade girls basketball game. We had some big wins along with some hard playing but unfortunate losses. A great deal of athletics goes on each day here at Island Lake.
We are very excited for our very first ROOKIE DAY tomorrow here at camp. We’ll have over 20 young siblings and potential camper who will try out ILC to see if they’d like to attend camp either later this summer or next year. We’re psyched to show them all that Island Lake has to offer. More info to come tomorrow once Rookie Day has taken place.
Just to recap last night’s group evening activities, here’s a rundown on what everyone did:
Girls: Groups 1&2 had a Counselor Makeover and a Fashion Show (those little ones had a blast dressing up their counselors and painting their faces); Group 3 had a Campfire; Group 4 had a “White Out Party” with Boys Group 4 (details about this party in yesterday’s blog); Group 5 had a Pool Party with Boys Group 5.
Boys: Groups 1&2 played Capture the Flag; Group 3 had a Campfire; Group 4 had the “White Out Party” with Girls Group 4; Group 5 had a Pool Party with Girls Group 5.
Today’s special feature, The COAL MINING TRIP!
Evening activity tonight,…everyone’s all-time favorite,…drum roll please,…Revival Night!!! Shhhh, don’t tell your kids, it’s a surprise (although it will have started or already finished by the time you read this blog). We’ll let your children tell you all about this special evening activity when summer is over.
Enjoy your TGIF night and until tomorrow, ILC U THERE!
