Swimming, hiking, fishing, and water games galore The kids had a blast! Today was the first full day of reading centers and all the kids were very engaged, that is until the gong sounds and they all scramble to the next one. After lunch they had their first day of swimming. Everyone had written about wanting to go swimming the first day they arrived so they all had fun splashing around. Several of our campers were eager to learn to swim. Thanks to our wonderful volunteer, Betsy, many of them had the opportunity to learn how to hold their breath under water and kick! Quishay, reluctant at first to try, was excited to show off her new skill! After that was hiking and fishing. Two fish were caught with sausage from breakfast and the kids squealed at the sliminess of the fish! Walking around the woods we saw frogs, snails and deer tracks. After dinner and journaling the counselors led the kids through a number of fun water games. No one was spared, campers, counselors and staff all were soaked by the end of the night.
