Pre-Camp Part Two.

After lunch on Friday we took a little time to siesta (which we spell Q-U-I-E-T here at CGM) and then we suited up for the pool! It was sprinkling rain but our campers didn't seem to mind one bit.

After swimming we had our chapel activity for the afternoon, which involved singing and then doing a demonstration with rocks and rice.

Then it was time to play one of our favorite camp games - Magic Tambourine! The music plays and the person in the center has the tambourine. They dance and create a snake of people, grabbing friends. Once the tambourine drops everyone has to scatter to find seats. Last one gets to start the next line.

Then we broke into family groups for afternoon activities. We played games (like Ships and Sailors, below), went to the art barn, and played on the playground.

Then we had a big spaghetti dinner. The kids by now are all becoming fast friends and have pretty much ditched the parents!

After dinner we went on a treasure hunt.

Then it was time for the bonfire. We got a nice bonfire going, everyone was set up, and we were about to tell stories when it started raining...

Which led us to plan B, which was to have an indoor bonfire with LED candles and construction paper:

But don't worry, we still had stories, songs, and s'mores!

And another day at camp came to a close!
