All Good Things Come to an End

After a tear jerking Evening Program (Vespers, nonetheless), we all sat in Chapel for an extra moment or so, reflecting on what camp meant to each and every one of us. For me (Tajar or not) camp is my place to be freely myself, have an open arena to fail, and have the support

Sunday Funday

In case you’re in the mood to cry, there’s a whopping 6 (six) (yes…six??!!) days of camp left. Okay, now that I’ve blotted my tears, let’s recap today! We began with the quintessential Sunday breakfast of quiche and cinnamon rolls (a personal favorite), and then headed off to an

Swimming, Boating, and Hiding Too!

As I aroused from my treetop perch this morning, I could tell it wasn’t going to be a typical Saturday at camp.  Nobody was heading to their usual activities.  Instead, I saw everybody heading for the waterfront in their bathing suits carrying towels and water bottles.  It turns

Lights Up!

Wow, lots of pictures today! The Camp Cup photos are in, as well as caving photos, and the full day climb pictures from Southside of Looking Glass! Some of these trip cameras have a mind of their own and they seem to escape for days at a time before I have a chance to snatch the

Live from the Castle Stage…It’s Wednesday Night!

10 days. That’s a hard pill to swallow. We’re all having so much fun that the thought of the summer wrapping up provoked my Tajar tears…I mean, allergies, and I’ve been moping around all day wishing for more time! The rain storm didn’t help much, but it did muffle my little sobs

Adventure Time

Today’s pictures include the trip pictures you’ve all been waiting for! A cabin trip to Low Ropes, the Baby Two-Day, the Nature Center, and the Three-Day Hike cameras have all returned and finally been transferred to the computer…we’re so sorry for the wait, but really happy that

What’s Crackin’?

I simply cannot contain myself when the baby chicks are out! They’re so small that they fit in the pocket of a middie (yes, this has been proven) and so delicate that they can only be petted with a finger as light as a feather. It’s beyond precious to see the gals and their

Rain Check!

Flexibility might as well be a Merrie-Woode virtue! Today, instead of our planned Sunday Activities, we hit the ground running with a backup plan. So, a little rain here and there does ruin some plans, but it’ll never dull a Merrie-Woode girls’ spirit. I hopped around, careful to

Celebrating in Style

Just another day in paradise (as Captain Doug always says)!  The cool morning gave way to a beautiful and sunny day!  On the lake, the campers were having a mighty fine time in kayaks and canoes, as well as swimming and trying out the Paddleboards. To dry off, I popped into

I Scream for Ice Cream!

We had a sweet day from start to finish here in Sapphire! I kicked off the day down at the docks watching girls take advantage of the hot weather and cool off in the nice lake water. It’s so refreshing! I jumped in and, phew, luckily no one saw me! While drying off, I hopped over
