Wacky Wednesday

Greetings from the Hills of Hickory,

Hot, Hot, Hot! It was hot and humid at Camp Hickory Hill today, but that didn’t stop us from having a blast. This morning the camper’s participated in the good old game of kick Ball. It was a good game, even though it started to rain, we kept playing! In addition, this morning we had a special visit from the Boone County Volunteer Fire Department, who brought out their fire truck and gear. The campers got a demonstration of their fire fighting suits and got to try out the front seat of the fire truck!

After a nutritious and educational lunch, the campers went swimming and did the “high flying” zip line with their cabin mates. They also got to listen to a speech from a special camp hickory hill camper alumni, who is now a professional motorcycle drag racer for Harley Davidson. They campers got to see his racing motorcycle and listen to its engine roar.

After all that fun, you would think that they day would be over. But you would be wrong! Because this afternoon our evening activity was an all camp shaving cream fight! Yes that’s right, each camper got a can of shaving cream and all madness broke out on the lower playing field. Our hair still smells like shaving cream but it was a great time!

The Balance and Stretch Star Award for today was given to Michael! He has been doing a good job at filling out his daily planner and being a good role model in all of the areas of Balance and Stretch. Congratulations to Michael!

Goodnight from the Hills of Camp Hickory,
