Day 2, S2 - Tops’l Farm

Today started with a big bowl of oatmeal, fresh fruit, cream and maple syrup. We could tell when we woke up that it was going to be a hot one so we made sure to drink lots of juice and water with breakfast. 

We did several crafts after breakfast including painting frames, weaving gimp, and decorating canvas bags. We also paired up and competed in four Minute to Win it challenges - oreo face scrunch, m&m transfer, cotton ball pick up, and the water cooler. 

We were planning to go to the lake to swim after rest time but it was so hot we ended up going earlier. The water was a perfect temperature and the campers stayed in it for a LONG time. The only times they got out were to go to the bathroom or take a snack and sunscreen reapplication break. 

After we got back from the lake, we had free time and then another delicious dinner. Our post dinner activity included survival skills and fire building techniques. The campers were given 3mins to collect supplies and build a “survival fire” and lets just say it was good Lou was there to teach us the way. We eventually got a fire going with a bow drill and zero matches!

Oh, and a lot of necessary popsicles throughout the day.
