Circadian Rhythm of Camp

July 17, 2013

  • Hello Highlands fans!
    What a great day of camping yesterday! Pancakes for breakfast, Meatloaf   meatloaf for lunch and tacos for supper. The boys played all-camp capture the flag last night. For the occasion, they are split into two teams, Army and Navy. Cabin assignments and Army/Navy assignments are attached below.

    Today was muffin and sausage day (my favorite breakfast) and this afternoon is Division Day, where boys hang out as a division. Seniors have a social with Red Pine Camp today and, yes, I’m totally putting Ross on the scene to get a visual on my daughter (cheating!). Juniors are paddling canoes and kayaks to the Sayner landing, having a picnic supper at the park in Sayner and playing basketball and softball and then paddling back to camp. Cubs and Colts are joining forces on a short hike to the Star Portage and picnicing on the pristine waters of Star Lake. I mean, honestly, does it get any better?!
    Here’s a little idea of where the littler guys are hiking, it’s only about 3/4 of a mile each way. (Incidentally, Track ran around Back Bay today to have a go on the rope swing over there!)

    It’s a hot day here at camp, but the breeze is blowing and we are having a blast. Everyone is starting to get into the swing of things. We always say it takes about a week to settle in. Cub head counselor, Nick Katzmarek calls it the camp circadian rhythm. I talked to a first time camper today and when asked how things were going he said, “This place is awesome!!” We concur!
    And on that note…
