"Thursday's Child"

We're almost at the end of the week already - just where has the time gone!

Today the weather's been a bit cooler - with early morning cloud cover which lead into a bright and warm afternoon.

So what's been going on today? Catching up with some unfinished business all over the place with campers taking their last opportunities to do activities. So we had (at last) an chance to make S'mores , finish glazing pottery , or grab a last go on the Zip wire. There was also a chance to go fishing (Lindsey was up to 14 fish and counting ), Michael, Uriah, Katy and Hazel had a competitive basketball workout ; while Brenda and Justine went wild on the paint drums . The overnight campers returned mid-morning having had a great time under canvas.

Of course, everyone was waiting for the Kangaroo Court after lunch when all those counselors guilty of terrible crimes like being too nice or too tall or too untidy underwent their well deserved punishments. But how bad do you have to be to have to kiss a fish? There were plenty of campers ready to bring these charges and everyone was guilty! . Finally Courtney and Ben had the ultimate punishment or treat - shaved heads!


In contrast, Vespers was a beautiful quiet time for reflection held in the Tranquility Garden. Some campers spoke movingly about the activities they had enjoyed and the friends they had made, and everyone joined in the singing as the sun went down.




Then at last that big moment of the week - The Dance! The pictures say it all.


















Finally as your visitors/guest bloggers from England hit the trial to see more of Colorado, can
we thank you all, campers and staff, for a truly awesome week and one which we'll never forget.
