We are well underway into our 'Scape adventures here on Day 2 of camp. After moving into the dorms, the RAs took our campers around the Drury campus, where we hula-hoop-raced between buildings, sling-shotted some ping pong balls at trees outside of the classroom buildings, and took group pictures by the library.
One of the challenges at the library was to somehow form the Olympic rings and take a group picture. Elizabeth's house group got creative and used their name tags to form the rings!
Steven's house group was very enthusiastic about taking their group picture!
Yesterday was the first day of classes, but the RAs made sure the kids had plenty to do once classes were out. The girls made bracelets and jewelry for The Kitchen, a local organization that serves the homeless in Springfield, while the boys enjoyed a "thrilling" surprise which we'll blog about later. Then we had our first camp-wide activity - the big hit from last year, Minute to Win It! Contestants had to complete challenges such as keeping three balloons in the air for a minute, as shown in the photo above. We had a great time, and we are all very proud of the campers for cheering on their teammates so well last night (though some of us may no longer have voices because of it!).
Tonight the boys will get to do a service project for The Kitchen while the girls get a peek at the surprise the boys had last night. Then it's off to the pool for our Summerscape Pool Party Night. Camp has just begun - stay tuned for more updates!
