Quest Day!

All of camp was charged with a quest to help find the king and queen's shield that was somehow misplaced last night! The day was spent at all of the activity areas and even though it was a bit cooler this morning we were able to get outside and enjoy the zip line, horses, fishing and the pool. We even spent time on the deck at arts and crafts and did paint drums at music and drama. It was great to get to run around and expend some energy at sports and recreation. The kids going to the BOEC left this morning and we are all wishing them luck on their rafting trip!
Tonight's activity was Sword in the Stone Quest. All of the key players in the RMV royal court were present and cabins had to figure out who put the sword back in the stone. Could it have been Marlin the wizard of fishing? Or Maybe Lady Guinevere? Where was the Black night when the sword went missing? They were able to question the royal court about there whereabouts, but only after completing a special task. Tasks included crossing and "electric fence", working together to flip a carpet, and other team building activities. It turned out that Lancelot just wanted to see if he was strong enough to pull Excalibur from the stone! The all camp finished and kids seemed ready for a good nights rest after the first full day of camp! Meadowbrook decided to do a cabin wide camp out at push camp, and is enjoying some s'mores before bed!

I know you are anxiously awaiting some photos, and we are working on it- but collecting photos from staff can be a daunting task- we have posted a few here tonight and look for a more inclusive album tomorrow!
