Summer Camp - Third Day Activities
They survived sleeping outside Tuesday night - kinda of hard to get to the campfire with all the cots around it.
Always a sharp looking bunch of Scouts at opening ceremony.
Breakfast was french toast and bacon - along with danish pastries, oatmeal, etc.
Then it was time to begin classes - more trail to Eagle, rifle shoting, finally getting to climb the 40 tower in the COPE area, learning how to recover when your kayak tips over.
Lunch was hoagie sandwiches and chicken noodle soup - really was too hot for soup on Wednedsay.
Around 3:30pm, a very, very quick downpour hit camp. Instead of cooling things down, it turned Camp K into a walking steam room or sauna.
Wednesday night is Family Night at Camp K. It was great for all the parents that were able to attend to come out and spend time visiting with their sons - Thanks to Megan Leavy for bringing out all the pizzas for dinner - and everyone for bringing lots of food and goodies for dinner. The scouts enjoyed the leftovers in the evening.
Wednesday night is also the OA ceremony - Andy Challman, Elliot Davidson and Alden Davidson took part in the ceremony before a crowd on hundreds. The weather had cooled down so it was not stifing hot has in other years.
And also what was probably the biggest campfire the ceremony had ever seen took place. It was one intense fireball.
James Leavy and Mark Challman were tapped out as ordeal candidates in Woapea Sisilija Lodge -Order of the Arrow. Congrats to both of them for achieving this honor in Boy Scouts.
The troop decided to sleep out again, around the campfire. We'll see how they survive.
Thursday's activities include the SCUBA event at 7:00pm as well as a greased watermelon competition in the pool at 4:00pm. It should be a another good day at camp. All overcast skies this morning.
