#sothisisit

We have left camp! We had our last day of campers on Friday, which certainly tugged on a few heart strings. Lots of tears were shed from counsellors - and campers too! 

We started traveling with a night in New York, and are now down from 15 staff to 9 for our trip to Miami. The goodbyes have been tough but we know we'll (hopefully) all see each other next summer, if not before! 

It has been an amazing summer with both new and old friends. Thank you to everyone who has made it special and to camp and ccusa for making it all 

possible!!

#armyversusnavy

Last night we had our last overnight of the summer! We saved out favourite overnight theme until last - army vs navy!! This saw all be split into girls for army and boys for navy. They then dressed up and followed some clues to their final destination - look out point for s'mores! 

The army team moved on foot from katsanis, to te pavilion, to the chapel, to rope swing, to the dam and then up to lookout point!

Army clues: 

The navy team travelled on foot and by boat. They moved from katsanis, to gibney, to the chapel, then got in their boats and went to the cliff and pv by boat. They then went up to race the girls to look out point! 

Navy clues:

This afternoon we got into a few teams and had a dodgeball tournament! We all played against each other then the teams all got a go against the staff!! 

#thankyous

We were lucky enough to have a few of our older campers volunteer to work as junior counsellor assistants this summer. One of them, Allie, was super sneaky and left us this beautiful handmade thank you note/picture for us to find! We loved having you, Allie, and we can't wait to see you next summer! 😃
