Monday, Pirate Day



Every day at RMV starts with the raising of the American flag. The Aspen and Sunshine cabins had the honor today with a bright sunny morning. Today is Pirates Day and many campers arrive at breakfast in costume and ready to start a day of adventures and treasure hunting.

Many of the activities this week will prepare the campers for the prom that will be held on Thursday night. A special meal will be prepared by the RMV staff, photos will be taken, Genesee Hall will be decorated, and music will be provided by a DJ.

Aspen Cabin came to breakfast prepared with a pirate song to share. The song goes like this:

YO HO YO HO,
An Aspin life for me,
YO HO YO HO,
We sailed the open seas,
YAR HAR YAR HAR,
Shiver me Aspen Girls,
YAR HAR YAR HAR,
An Aspen life for me.

Pirate campers set out on their adventures to fish, play sports, drama and music, arts and crafts, and zip line. In the afternoon they had the opportunity to ride the hay wagon.

















After lunch one of the first phases of preparing for the prom occurred when the male campers were fitted for their tuxedos.

The evening activity was an All Camp Treasure Hunt. RMV counselor pirates hid throughout camp and campers had to follow a map to find the pirates and their treasures. One of the Pirates was discovered by Frontier Cabin floating in the pool.

The “Magical Theme Selector” chose “Bermuda Triangle” as tomorrow’s theme in keeping with this weeks Leadership Island Cruise theme. What disasters might strike camp tomorrow? Check in with tomorrow night’s Blog.
