The Fun of Normal
In
most summers, settling into a routine is something that happens
pretty quickly. Don’t get me wrong, every day has something
new and exciting! But after all the modifications for Covid-19,
even I didn’t realize how much fun it would feel to have a full
first round of normal activity days. And it has been just such a great few days: from project periods, to organized free periods, to cabins heading out on camping trips (S-1 and S-2 departed this morning for the Superior Hiking Trail!) and – now that our pods are opened up to villages – really diving into our Green-White games.

Each
village had the chance to continue earning Green vs. White points for
their teams this afternoon. The J-Village was up on the tennis courts
playing dodgeball, curtain ball, and ultimate frisbee, and some boys
played chess. The I-Village played 9-square, gaga, nukem, and
basketball, while the S-Village played baseball on the ball field.
The beautiful breeze we had today made playing games under the sun
that much more pleasant.

And
as a further bonus to this new normal – now that we are back to a
typical schedule – mail is back at the Wanegan window! Where one
camper from each cabin can go pick it up at the beginning of
Organized Free. Please note that the only permissible packages are
reading materials such as books, magazines or newspapers. The boys
really have everything that they need here.

Like
every mail day, we made sure to pass out Wanegan to all campers this
evening after they picked their activity preferences for the coming
week. Don’t worry – we have more than enough candy options to get
your boys all sugared up! It does help keep them running well for
these days of fun under the sun.
