July 16
The weather under Old Bald kept us on our toes today! We started the morning with blue skies and sunshine, and by the afternoon, a thunderstorm had rolled in and completely changed the scene. Luckily, a little rain has never stopped Merrie-Woode campers from having fun. Whether we were soaking up the sunshine or splashing through puddles, spirits stayed high all day long.
Some morning highlights included a TON of fun down at the docks, where some of our Starmate Level Boaters put on a synchronized kayaking routine complete with rolls, all set to Gwen Stefani's "The Sweet Escape." Over in Acting, campers got into full costume to perform scenes from The Wizard of Oz. With costumes like that, a photoshoot was obviously necessary to document the occasion!
Things were busy all around Camp! Run Club finished their morning loop and still had plenty of energy left for the classic "Run Club" pose. Over in Tumbling, campers worked on stunting skills and teamwork, cheering each other on as they practiced. And down at the Pickleball courts, there were lots of laughs as campers partnered up for games and challenges. Between the running, flipping, and friendly competition, there was no shortage of activity and fun around Camp.
With the rain arriving in the afternoon, we had an extended Rest Hour to wait out the storm. Even so, campers made the most of the change in plans and headed off to their afternoon activities, especially the indoor ones! Over in Knitting, girls worked on their latest projects, while a Hip-Hop class continued preparing for their Justin Bieber-themed Final Show performance. A little rain wasn't going to slow anyone down!
The fun wasn't limited to Camp, either. Our Would-Bes spent the day on the Nantahala, building their paddling skills and confidence on the river. Between practicing techniques and enjoying some time to play on the water, they had an absolute blast. Rain or shine, it was another great day under Old Bald!
