Another beautiful morning in Freedom! After a breakfast of bacon, eggs, and bagels, the kids packed bag lunches and headed off for their all day hike. They will explore different areas of the camp, have lunch, play games and learn all about nature. Hopefully they will be tired tonight. (It was another long night in the girls cabin!

Look who came to visit us today!!! The kids loved seeing Mrs. Samuelson.

For lunch today we had pepperoni and cheese pizza with Caesar salad. After lunch the students went off to their two classes of the day. Some chose dissection, bee keeping, wood furniture, edible plants, raging rivers,  and cooking class. After classes they were excited to have an hour of free time. Many stayed outside to play tennis, football, basketball, and soccer. Some of the girls chose to relax in the cabin and get their nails done! For dinner it was Taco Tuesday.. always a hit with the kids! Right now the kids are out on a night hike learning how to adapt to the darkness. It’s also a silent activity so they can learn about all the nighttime sounds! Hoping bedtime goes a little smoother in the girls’ cabin tonight..up till after midnight last night! I know they are tired so fingers crossed!

Some pictures from field groups this morning.

Good morning from Camp Cody! We just finished a delicious breakfast of pancakes and sausages. The kids also had lots of cereal options if they wished. After each meal there is “entertainment.” One of the staff members gets the kids up and sings a repeat after me song. This morning was “Boom Chucks Boom!” The kids loved it and it really got them moving. Now they are off into their field groups to explore and do team building exercises. Here are some pics from last night and this morning. I’ll post again later on!
PS.. They are all doing fine! No worries :)

Monday, October 7th

After a very LOUD bus ride, we arrived to some pouring rain, but it let up very quickly. The kids all helped getting the luggage off the bus and then we headed into the dining hall for a lunch of cheeseburger, fries, and watermelon. Next we dropped off luggage to the cabins and then straight out to field group where they did some get to know you activities and games. At 4:00 the students met in the rec hall to go over some rules and schedules. They were very excited to them have some time back in the cabins to set up their beds and shelves and hang out with each other. For dinner we had barbecue chicken, rice, and mixed veggies. Some of the students took their turns as waitrons for dinner by setting up the tables then serving the food. Ice-cream sandwiches for dessert!! After dinner the kids chose their classes for the next few days and headed out for a night hike experience. Quiet sing will follow about 8:30 then back to the cabins for the night. They have been great and are having a blast!

One week from today!! The kids are getting excited and so am I. I have talked to the students again about what to bring and not bring. Please use the packing list for help. If they want, the students may bring a small snack and drink for the bus. No food will be allowed in the cabins so please do not send more than a snack for the bus. Don't forget to send letters this week so they get there on time. This will be one of our beautiful views next week!
