Now that the Super Seniors have returned from their Extended Trips exploring New Hampshire and Maine, we are back as one Laurel family for the next 12 days of camp. While it is the “home stretch,” the activity level and pace of camp intentionally ramps up as we dive into four final program days (Tuesday through Friday), our last S-Day of the summer (Wednesday) and then a week of special events, including the much-anticipated College Days. Already, you can hear the Lodge Chants: “Ketchup, Mustard, Mayonnaise…We Want College Days!!”

Before that, we have tomorrow’s Acadian and Apache Musical: The Aristocrats. Early reviews have been spectacular. Thirty-five campers completed the annual Lake Swim around Echo lake. We’re so proud of those swimmers! We have our Sports Night Championships Thursday night under the lights for each age group: Flag Football, Soccer, Hockey, Gaga, Capture the Flag and APES. Friday morning is the Second Rotation Dance Show. And then we all cant wait and see how, when and if College Days 2018 will happen.

It is amazing to see our Bec and Bago campers start to gear up for their leadership responsibilities during College Days. It’s talked about all year long and now it’s almost upon us. We cant wait to watch them in action in the coming days!!
