It’s Just Goodnight and Not Goodbye

Oops! Sometimes Tajar and technology aren’t in sync, which explains why in today’s pictures, there are a lot of Sunday Activity pictures. Those sadly got left behind when I uploaded the Sunday pictures. Please forgive my mistake, they’re here now! Bum’s Rest played a prank on all

A Purrrfect Performance

Howdy from an elated Tajar! Today’s the day we’ve all been eagerly awaiting: THE PLAY! “Fantastic Mr. Fox” was everything we waited for and more. Huge congratulations to our fantastic director, Lindsay, and the entire cast and crew for pulling together an unbelievably amazing

*Crying in Chapel*

Don’t let the title deceive you. A lot of them were tears of joy, but not all of them. We cried out of thankfulness for an amazing session. We cried as the oldest campers reflected on their years spent here in this place of rarest beauty. We cried at how fortunate we are to have

Following the Gleam and Happy as Can Be

Sundays bring unparalleled pleasures: cinnamon rolls, quiche, cookout, and (usually) Campfire. But, with today being the last Sunday of this session (I’m not crying, you are), we began our traditional Evening Programs. But before I jump ahead of myself, let’s recap what an

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 generally splashing around. To dry off, I popped into

An Eggcelent Day!!!

I lied. I said yesterday was the prettiest day at camp so far, and that was true…yesterday. But today…today was something else. At times I had to rub my eyes because I was in genuine disbelief that something could be so beautiful. We wore jackets this morning because the sun had

Namastay in the Sun

Not to be dramatic by any stretch of the term, but today was the prettiest day at camp thus far! With cool air, a warm sun, and a blue sky, everything felt simply perfect. It was one of those days you needed both a light jacket and some sunglasses. I soaked up every bit of sun I

Boo Whoop to That

Another day of sunshine in this place of rarest beauty set us up for a great Wednesday! I crept around camp, quietly, of course, because this morning was “Sleep In!” Campers got an extra hour and 15 minutes of sleep, which, we all needed after such a long and fun week. Once

And We’re Back!

The weather fairies saw the title of last night’s blog. We woke up to the bright blue Carolina sky we know, love, and have missed. The spirits all around camp were really vibrant and wholesome today as we shed our layers of rain gear and allowed the long-missed sun to kiss our

Here Comes the Sun…Please?

As we wrap up yet another day of on and off drizzle, eager campers await parting clouds and piercing rays. Mondays are better with some sunlight, but nothing can rain on Merrie-Woode’s parade. Who needs sun when there’s indoor fun? Today, I hopped to ceramics and caught the
