Lasers and Light Shows

Happy Wednesday from Ox Lake!

Our day began with a fantastic french toast breakfast, complete with eggs, bacon, and fresh fruit. Afterwards, our campers launched right into our first activity of the day: laser tag! They had a blast navigating our custom-made course at 1st village, teaming up against their cabinmates, and challenging their counselors for free canteen items (and bragging rights)!

During free time, our campers had the opportunity to tie dye their shirts – and their hands, as well as one unfortunate shirt in the splash zone. Campers also spent their free time lounging in the hammocks, playing cards, and making friendship bracelets. We took advantage of the cool weather in the evening and played two field games: Rat-a-tat-tat and Snakes. Canteen time consisted of snacking and outdoor games such as spikeball, gaga, and volleyball. So far our canteen favorites are birch beer, pineapple jarritos, Hershey’s cookies and cream bars, and Kempswiches (affectionately dubbed “campswiches”).

As the storms rolled in, we sheltered in Earth Chapel and had a build-your-own campfire full of songs requested by our campers, followed by a movie night. We watched Monsters, Inc. (as well as the light show happening in the sky) and indulged in popcorn – with fun seasonings! – plus a selection of pops to complete the cinematic experience. With the storms behind us, we can’t wait for the beautiful weather that tomorrow holds. All signs point to a perfect beach day out at Ox Lake tomorrow!
