Today at Camp Hickory Hill was a hot humid day, but that didn't stop us from having fun! After our great 5-star breakfast we sang songs and then had a diabetic trivia hour. The kids had a great time and were hootin' and hollerin'.
Then in the morning the weather got confused and the temperature dropped we thought it might rain, but then we were reminded that it actaully never rains at Camp Hickory Hill. Something about the way the land is and the way the hills work with the Hickory trees. It might be a meteorological marvel or an old scientific secret, but we were worried were about to have some heavy dew so we played board games and had Arts & Crafts time. Wow these kids are talented and even though we could play outside they made the best of it and had a great time! Once we realized it wasn't going to rain the kids began to play ping pong and swing on the swing set eagerly awaiting the next activity and planning the best way to compete in the upcoming CHH scavenger hunt!
After lunch every cabin attended to their daily chore, or cabin duty as we call it here at CHH. Then we trekked up the hill to the multi purpose court and played basketball, and water games with water balloons. It was great!
After a great dinner of meatballs and rice we all got ready for the scavenger hunt. I was informed by cabin ten that their method was to win with their charm and good looks! Right?!?! Well I advised they might want to have a back up plan just in case. At 7pm the scavenger hunt began and after running all over the camp grounds as a cabin with their counselors collecting certain items around camp the first team returned after only 22 minutes! With all of the items! Nevermind the fact that Sean the counselor used to play collegiate soccer in Alabama, I guess his scavenger hunt training paid off! Great job Cabin 11! All cabins completed the hunt ahead of time, and everyone was extremely motivated to start theircabin competition on a good foot. Great job guys!
What a day! But wait were not done yet? We had our first camp fire! It took a little bit to get the fire going but we got it goin and sang songs like we were ready for more. Worn out and fullfilled with a fun filled day we headed back for showers and lights out. Another great day in the books and tonight we will sleep well.
