Dear Camp Families,
It is so wonderful to have all your campers
here! We have returning campers, first
time campers, and even second generation campers! A wonderful mixture of girls!
It has been a busy three days so far. On Monday morning I met all your beautiful
daughters. In the morning the girls did
their trial rides. We want to make sure
that we have the right camper, on the right mount, in the right lesson group!
By Monday afternoon, we only had 3 out of 32 campers doing re-rides. The rest were matches made in heaven. I talked to every camper at lunch and they
were all happy with their mounts, or there was a plan in place to achieve their
happiness.
Monday afternoon we offered horsemanship to those
campers who might have needed a little refresher course or a little extra help
in learning how to tack up and/or lead their pony or horse. We want to make sure we set our campers up
for success, especially when they are here for 2 weeks. Another afternoon activity option was slip
and slide, which you can see pictures of on Facebook. Their fourth afternoon activity option was
obstacle courses with the minis. Many
campers gravitated towards this option probably because Boo was involved with
it.
On Monday night, before dinner, a rain storm rolled
through Temple NH. Some of the campers
took this opportunity to run around and wash their hair in the rain.
We played Bag Skits on Monday night. Each room is given about 15 minutes and a bag
to put 5 items in the bag. When the time
is up, they are called out to the main room.
Then we switch all the bags around and re-give each room a bag. (They don’t wind up with the bag they filled
with their 5 items.) Then the campers
have a set amount of time to come up with a skit using all 5 items. These skits are hysterical to see. I love the creativity that goes into each
skit.
It is hot here, but the girls are doing great with
the heat. Drinking plenty of fluids and
not complaining at all about the heat.
The weather is supposed to break today.
We have a fun week planned ahead of us!
On Saturday is the horse show, come by if you can!
Best,
Becky
