Campus is a buzz with activity.  Today is our second full activity day in camp.  Girls are paddle making, sailing, making beads in arts & crafts, and some are packing for their trips that head out tomorrow.  Corydalis Yurt Group left this morning for their four day backpacking trip around Nahmakanta Lake.  They loaded up their backpacks and headed their way out of campus on foot, on their way to a campsite on the shores of Nahmakanta Lake.  They will circumnavigate the lake, ending their four-day hike back at Girls Camp. Today is also “Flair Day” – the girls, and staff, are wearing some pretty colorful and fun outfits, hats, scarves, and even tutus from our costume box.  As the day progresses, the costumes and Flair will also get more extravagant.  Our theme for dinner tonight is “Dinner with a Flair.” I met with some of the girls from Trillium this morning as they were working on their “Campus Beautification” task which included dishes and sweeping in the main lodge.  I asked them to share a few words with parents on what they thought of their camp experience thus far.  Here is what they shared (note, I am transcribing how they wrote it on the paper for me): “Camp Chewonki for girls is AMAZING!!!  It’s right next to Debsconeag Lake – which is huge and awesome – so we do tons of boating, canoeing, kayaking, sailing.  It’s a FANTASTIC wilderness camp where you can meet a lot of girls of all ages!  It is SO FUN!!!” – Lula “Camp is awesomely awesome and rilly rilly rilly rilly rilly Fun!!!!” – Lucy “Camp is amezingly spectular!  I LOVE IT!” – Julia “Camp Chewonki is good.  We doij swimming, paddles, drawing, arts and crafts… is good!!! and FUN!!” – Mila & Pauline “Camp is fun we get to wear goofy alfits and sing and be crazy all day everyday.” – Katherine “Camp Chewonki is expressive and fun for girls of all ages.  you get to hike, camp, eat blueberries, and have a great time!” – Lily “Camp is really great.  We get to take beautiful hikes and swim in the lake.  We also get to be really goofy and dress up in really fun clothes!!” – Rebecca
