The last two days have been packed with adventure, competition and fun! The weather has been incredible and the girls are having a blast swimming. Archery has also been a huge hit and they are getting really good at it. 

Laurie Kaplan, our founder, spent yesterday with us and we were all very excited to have her as part of our camp family! Today marked our annual Color War competition and the BLUE Team took home the victory!  

It was a relaxing day at camp today. The girls got to sleep in late and woke up to a pancake breakfast, some fun games and a late afternoon swim, followed by a campfire and ice cream.

Our overnight camping trip to Sebago Lake National Park was a huge success! This was the first time most of our girls had slept outside in tents and they did such a great job! They learned how to set up a tent, build a fire, cook their dinner over an open flame, and sleep under the stars. 

We arrived back to WEHGC around noon where Betsy and Tucker were waiting with a delicious lunch, followed by a relaxing swim at Kennards. The girls brought the evening in with our annual counselor hunt, blueberry picking, and a campfire. 

Another rainy day didn't stop us from having a great time today. The campers were so enthusiastic and such great sports! Archery was a huge hit and this afternoon's basketball game was too close to call and a rematch is greatly anticipated. 

We swam, ate, fished, bonded with Tucker (the dog) and ate some more. All this fresh air and exercise has really increased our appetites and Betsy, our cook, has been making some really delicious food. After dinner, preparations were underway for the No Talent/Talent Show tonight. The girls have been learning lyrics, practicing yoga poses and getting downright serious about the performances! 

Stay tuned for news about our camping trip at Sebago Lake tomorrow night....

Day Two!

Our first full day of camp was a blast! We did lots of water sports including, fishing, boating, paddle boarding and swimming. The girls are really getting the  hang of the paddle boards and kayaks. By the time we leave I'm sure we'll have many experts! 

In spite of the rain early in the day we were still able to have a campfire tonight. We made s'mores and banana boats and sang campfire songs. A good time was had by all! What a great group of girls, they are so much fun! 

Session 2

Our next group of campers arrived today! It was great to see some familiar faces and new ones as well. We're all unpacked and getting to know each and our new cook, Betsy, made a great lunch.

Swim lessons went "swimmingly" and even though it's been a little rainy and cool today, the water is super warm. Everyone is very excited about our new paddle boards and kayaks!
