Summer Camp Week 3

7/16/2022

0 Comments

 
Hello adventurers,
While our first two weeks at camp kept us on site at Red Rock, week three had us leaving the borders of the Red Rock grounds and venturing of into the great unknown. We walked along brooks, crossed dark and foreboding tunnels that gushed forth water, waddled our way through sticky mud and slippery seaweed, and found ourselves, in the end, running across the Rollo Bay flats for a dip in the cool blue ocean.

Foxes and Sparrows

Monday morning once again brought the deadly combination of the Foxes and the Sparrows as they joined forces to tackle the challenges, the first of which was an obstacle course run with a twist. Competitors had to navigate obstacles, passing jugs of water along the line of players to get them to the end. What is the twist you ask? No hands allowed. ​

​Ravens 

Tuesday’s girls showed us that they meant business. They came hungry to win, and they performed like true competitors. On top of this, there were no divisions on the team - they worked together and walked together there was no person left behind. ​

 Along the way we played the Rainbow Game and saw who could collect the rainbow pieces buried amongst the sand. Since we got to the beach on time, we were able to go for a swim. The smiles should tell you all that you need to know about how the water was!

​Falcons

Wednesday morning had the Falcons making up for the rainy day last week, and so we had them give the photo scavenger hunt a try -- and try they did. The Falcons ended up completing the whole list of objectives, with time to spare (a feat that few teams accomplished). With the spare time, we went snake hunting in the pit. The Falcons never pass up an opportunity to hunt for critters!

​For the afternoon, the Falcons also went for a hike down to the flats. Though it was a rocky start in the beginning, the team found their footing and got to walking, one step at a time. In one of the strongest performances this year, the team managed to get to the beach quicker than the other teams, while also scoring the most points from treasure found upon the shore. We celebrated some birthdays this week with some Birthday Bread and it was a massive hit. Happy Birthday (you know who you are :))!

Rangers

Although Friday was a bit rainy, the Rangers did not let it stop them from having a good time! 
In the morning, they played a game which involved splitting into team (everyone against Mr. Paton), finding blocks, and tying each other up!

In the afternoon, the Rangers braved the cool weather and walked down to the Rollo Bay Flats, having to walk through mud, seaweed, and deep water on the way there!

After arriving at the beach, we got straight to work building a small fire with an 'oven' that they found along the way. Stove top stuffing, marshmallows, and birthday bread were all cooked and enjoyed.

The Rangers finished off their day by swimming in the water at low tide and having fun searching for various different sea creatures. Great job this week!
Week 3 turned out to be a wild ride but it was super fun all the same. We can't wait to see everyone again for our next adventure!

Yours in adventure,
Nathan, Jesse, Brooklyn, Sophie, and Ashlyn

Summer Camp Week 2

Foxes and Sparrows

Hello adventurers,
This was our second week at camp, and it was a blast! 

On Monday, the Foxes and Sparrows combined in the morning for some serious competition. They raced through the obstacle course, each competing for the best time. Cohen McInnis had our time to beat, coming in at 45 seconds, only narrowly beating out Warren’s 48 seconds

Then, they braved the climbing wall where they raced each other to the top once again. ​

Later, we split these adventurers into two groups where they explored the woods and campgrounds in search of the coolest, creepiest critters they could find! These two groups of our youngest campers have some seriously competitive spirits!

Ravens

On Tuesday, the Ravens did an awesome scavenger hunt! They had 12 different places that
they had to get to and snap a quick pic. Some of the objectives required more than a simple smile, however. The scavenger hunt asked them to climb crumbly cliffs, raise a flag, and venture through the dark and dreary tunnel. ​

These challenges and clues all led them to a buried treasure that was hidden deep behind the Gully. The treasure then hinted towards the final clue that there was something waiting at the Lodge for them -- new 2022 Red Rock stickers!
Lots of laughs and fun times were had by the Ravens this week. Great job team!

Falcons

Our Wednesday Falcons are one adventurous group! They carried on from their success lastweek with plenty of awesome teamwork. This is our largest group, and they definitely have found a way to use that to their advantage. Although it was a wet one, these adventurers braved the weather and played a camp wide telephone game. Running through the mud and getting soaked were right up the Falcons alley. To end it all off, we played the “pass the flame” game in the cabin so we could dry off. Great job this week Falcons, keep it up!

Rangers

Friday is our oldest, most experienced group. The Rangers! This group of girls are not to be
messed with. Given their expertise with fire, they whipped up a quick flame and cooked some tasty treats over the open fire. But what’s a Red Rock experience without some silly clothes to go along with it? Ella Francis suited up in a wonderful shining pink vest that really contrasted well against Parker’s rad leather jacket. Then the fun was swept off into our hanging net where the children chased, tagged, and wrestled each other down to the ground. Friday was an all around spectacular day; can’t wait to do it again next week! ​
