Our first full day of camp was awesome! The weather was very good. Today campers began their quest to earn different levels of patches at Adventure Sports, Tennis, Archery, Riflery, Pool, and Horseback. At the river the campers had fun going off the ropeswing and sliding down the Wet Willie Waterslide. Tonight was the first battle of points between the Apaches and Comanches. The game is one of the all-time favorite games at Laney—TRIBE HUNT!! It’s basically a giant game of Hide-N-Seek played all over camp. The tribe that finds the most campers wins and the APACHE were victorious and won the first points of the session. The golden arrow is hidden somewhere in camp and clues are given each day at lunchtime. The first clue was given today so the search is on! Whoever finds the arrow will receive 50 points for his tribe and an awesome GOLDEN ARROW patch. We also had our cabin and individual pictures taken today. In a couple of days we will post the cabin pictures online.
