Last Night!

 We had a great last night at camp. After an all day hike, the kids enjoyed some hot chocolate then headed onto the cabins to warm up for awhile. We had orange chicken, rice and veggies for dinner. "TNL"(Thursday Night Live) was a huge hit! The kids performed skits that were hilarious. Then we headed outside for a campfire and smores before our last quiet sing for the week. I'd like to thank our chaperones for all their help with the kids this week. We had a fantastic week and our Aborn kids were the best!!

Thursday Morning

 French toast and bacon to start the day! After another crazy Moose song for entertainment, the kids packed up a bag lunch and headed out on their all day hike. They are expected back around 3:30. We will have a longer transition time before dinner so they can rest (or run around the cabin 😂.) The students have been passing around necklaces with a C bead on it. They learned about cooperation, commitment, caring, and communication while living and learning together. If they receive a necklace for something they did showing one of the 4 C's, they have an hour of power and then they find someone else to share it with. This morning Ben and Ronald were given the necklaces that you see in the pics below. Also there are pics of the dining hall where you can see the moose hanging over the fireplace, the lake at sunset, and some of the kids.

Wednesday Night

 As our first full day comes to an end, the students are now enjoying quiet sing and they sound great! They just finished the night experience called "Back to Basics" where they learned about old fashioned games, making butter, weaving and more. For dinner we had garlic bread, roasted veggies and cheese tortellini. For entertainment they learned some interesting facts about the Outdoor Classroom instructors. Ask your children about the 4 C's and being a waitron when they get home. Looking like an early night because they are totally exhausted!

Wednesday Afternoon

 Lunch today was pizza paninis, tater tots, and grapes. Entertainment got them signing and dancing to a hilarious jellyfish song. After lunch the kids went off to their first class of outdoor cooking, field journaling or building civilizations. They just had a quick snack and headed back out for class number two today which could be wood carving, blacksmithing or cave person. Hoping to get some more great pics of these fun classes! During free time the kids have been enjoying basketball, soccer and the gaga pits. 

Wednesday

 Happy to say all the kids went to sleep last night as soon as we said lights out! What a great group of kids we have up here this year😊. It was very chilly when we first woke up this morning, but it already starting to warm up a bit. The kids are off on another field group adventure after devouring a breakfast of eggs, bagels, sausage, cinnamon rolls, and home fries. They also could get fruit and cereal if they wished. Entertainment this morning was "Spoon Jousting" and Ronald was our champion! Below are pics from quiet sing last night, the cabins and from breakfast this morning. Will post more tonight after the students take their first two classes.

Dinner

 After field group this afternoon, the kids came back to the cabins to unpack and set up their beds. Most of the boys chose to head out and play some basketball before dinner, while the girls chose to color and play cards in the nice warm cabins! Dinner tonight was chicken fingers, macaroni and cheese, string beans and sugar cookies for dessert. Entertainment was a competitive game of Simon Says. John finished strong for the Aborn crew! They all just went out for their night hike experience and we will end the night with quiet sing around 8:30. They are definitely looking tired so hopefully lights out goes well:)
