Greetings from the Realm!

Today was another spectacular day at camp. While most of the groups spent the day on camp, a few traveled to various inter-camp tournaments, and all three teams were very successful! The 13U boys’ softball team won their championship game, the co-Ed archery team placed first overall, and the Bard group won their volleyball match. In recent years, many camps were unable to participate in inter-camp events due to the pandemic. The campers were ecstatic when these events returned this summer; their enthusiasm only grows as their athletic success continues. Not only was Robin Hood proud of the games that our teams won, but Robin Hood was also extremely proud of the effort, intensity, and sportsmanship that our campers put into these competitions.

Tomorrow the camp looks forward to one of the highly anticipated sporting events of the summer: the boys 15u basketball game. Our team and senior campers will travel to Maine to play and cheer the Hood’s way to victory!

Yensi was in the kitchen early this morning cooking breakfast for our Forester and Saxon soccer tournament at a nearby camp, Indian Acres. The team was ready to take the field, even after hiking 24 hours earlier. The squad cruised through the first few games of the tournament and found themselves in the finals. After a scoreless first half, Archer and Noah strung together a few passes and put Robin Hood on the board. The thriller of a game ended at just that, 1-0 in Robin Hood’s favor.

While the team was out bringing home the hardware, the Bows and Quills were out lounging at the beach. The two groups left at 7:30am and spent the day on the sand and in the cool water. The sun was shining, the waves were rolling, and even the campers were able to get fun food and snacks!

All afternoon, tie-dye shirts were drying out at Arts and Crafts. TPs, Scouts, Jesters, and Jugglers were making colorful designs on their plain white shirts. Tomorrow morning, when we retrieve them from the drying rack, the Quad will be filled with campers donning their colorful new threads.

The night ended quietly after dinner–just kidding. The night was far from over. As dinner was concluding, the Arrows challenged the Bards to an evening Gaga competition. The two groups piled into the pit and engaged in an intense round. After two more equally intense rounds, the Bards emerged victorious, winning 2-1. Following the friendly competition, the two groups ran down to watch the Scouts jump off of the dock into the lake while wearing pajamas!

Now, everyone is quiet and back to their bunks, awaiting another fun-filled day. See you all in the morning.

Goodnight from CRH.

Good evening from the Realm! Today we had a few exciting trips leaving camp. First, the saxons and scribes woke up early to embark on one of our favorite traditions, climbing Mount Washington! They left at 6:30 in the morning and spent the entire day on the mountain. Even though there were clouds and wind, the sky brightened as the Saxons and Scribes made their way back down the mountain. This evening, after arriving back to camp, they enjoyed a splendid pizza dinner. They jumped off the busses feeling happy, accomplished, and also maybe a bit sore!

While the scraxons were out climbing, we also took our eight youngest groups to the Sanford Mainers’ baseball game in Sanford, Maine. We all boarded 10 vans and one big yellow school bus and travelled to the ballpark. The kids were able get fun snacks while watching the minor league game. It was a great game, and the highlight was when our co-head of boys camp threw the first pitch. Everyone cheered him on as he walked up to the mound to officially begin the baseball game. He was a celebrity!

We are so happy to be able to get the campers out of camp again, having fun in every corner of New Hampshire and Maine. Spirits are high after another amazing day in the Realm.

Goodnight from CRH!
