What a day in The Realm today! The sun decided it had been away for long enough and we had ourselves a perfect day. In the morning we had a full slate of activities and a ton of highlights in every group. For example, the Lancers were excitedly surprised to find out that they’d be playing mini golf at a local course this morning! Upon returning, Spencer said, “I liked playing mini golf with my friend Hugh. I hit this really good shot and it was so close to going in and then it rolled in. It was so cool!” Rex chimed in and said, “I hit a crazy hole in one but I still lost terribly. I still had fun!” Speaking of fun, it was also being had at camp. Amelia of the Bows said, “My favorite part of the day was pickleball because I like playing with my friends.” Abigail of the Quills said, “We played Newcomb on the sand court next to the barn. My team lost but we put up a good fight.” Corey chose to do riflery for one of his activities and later said, “We shot paper targets and I got a bullseye!” Lucas said, “I loved breakfast because it’s always really good here. Today I ate cereal but I have no idea what kind.”

The afternoon brought its own excitement. After four years, we eagerly welcomed some intercamp competitions! The Girls 16 and under basketball and soccer teams traveled to Birchmont, ready to represent Robin Hood in the green and white. The afternoon started with basketball and well, they had fun. Marney said, “It was an amazing experience.” As for soccer, the game ended in a 4-4 tie. Lila scored 2, Izzy scored, and so did Rebecca. The competitions didn’t end there! Here at camp we welcomed the 15 and under basketball and soccer teams. The basketball game started with Robin Hood losing 11-3 until Eli caught fire and finished with 29 points. The final score was 41-24. In soccer, both teams left it all on the field. The final score was 2-1 Birchmont with the lone Robin Hood goal being scored by Tyler. He said his goal “felt great.” Overall, we were so excited to see the Robin Hood spirit alive and well. Sports bring people together and we saw that here today on our fields and courts!
