Stretch Out

If our cabin was experiencing problems with flexibility, this would no longer be an issue after Tuesday.  Because the pool was once again out of service, our first activity became chair yoga. The first afternoon activity was….chair yoga again! Luckily, most of our campers did not seem to mind and the leader did a good job trying to change it a little bit by making it into a game the second time. Chris spent most of the time choosing soothing songs for our cabin to enjoy from his collection of over 50 CD’s that he brought.

   
The evening program was open mic night, an activity that campers always seem to enjoy. In our cabin, Larry and Abdul performed a rap together and Grandpa Greg sang a song by the Eagles. However, no one could compete with Cody’s performance.

Cody spent a long time getting ready. He put on a nice shirt and tie and found a long gray wig to give him the rock star look he was trying to achieve. He spent an equally long amount of time choosing a song that was just right. He finally chose “Bohemian Rhapsody,” by Queen.

     
His performance was compete with background dancers that he called out of the crowd, a power slide on his knees, and a throwing of the wig at the end of the song. This was a side of Cody that we liked to see, instead of the emotional Cody we often have.

     
Wednesday started off with art. The campers started by using crayons and then covered it with a thin layer of black paint. After it dried, they could scrape the paint off to draw a picture.

     
The counselors also did an impressive drawing, a “Seneca Sheepdogs” poster that we can hang in the cabin. This will be especially nice since our posters disappeared during the week off.  

     
A lot of the campers wanted to go on the boat on Root Beer Lake. “Is this coffee decaf or regular?” Leslie asked when he saw how brown the water was.

     
Bob came down with a stomach ache and all he wanted to do was lay in bed, which meant that the counselors also got to fight over who  got to stay in the cabin with him while he rested and took a nap of his own.

     
Bob was not the only one with this sickness though. There were at least 11 cases in the camp and more with counselors. The sickness caused the evening activity to be canceled and counselors were instructed to get campers to bed early.  We had our cabin soundly sleeping by a little before 10, which is a big feat for us this week.
