10! We can’t believe we already wrapped up our 10th day here at RobinHood. You wouldn’t be able to tell it, but just over 10 days ago, over 100 of our campers had never stepped foot in The Realm. Walking around today, it’s incredible to see the bonds being made, the laughs being shared, and the lifelong friendships being created.
Did someone say Beach Day? The Bards, Shires, and Scribes woke up early this morning to grab a quick breakfast and head to Ogunquit Beach in Maine. It was the perfect day to feel sand on toes, cool off in the Atlantic Ocean, and eat lobster while walking the boardwalk. The girls had an amazing time and many of the other groups were begging to be the next ones to go.
We had several other groups leave camp today as well. This morning, the Scouts and Tumblers had a tee time at the local mini golf course. Our 32 youngest girls returned home for lunch with big smiles on their faces and a little bit of sugar in their stomachs. Meanwhile, the Friars set out for Mount Major. Ascending the peak in just over an hour, the boys stopped at CRH’s favorite Cozy Corner for a little ice cream on the way home to cool off. After lunch, the Quills set off for a hike at Diana’s Bath, enjoying the cool water and the walk slides before an ice cream treat. Who doesn’t love a little dessert before dinner?!
We also sent several boys tennis players to Wildwood for 10U, 12U, and 14U tennis. The boys competed hard, displayed great sportsmanship, and our first 10U singles player brought RobinHood a championship!
Back at camp, activities were in full swing. Our brand new ski boats had a busy day on the lake, with several groups having the opportunity to wakeboard, waterski, kneeboard, and more. During Rest Hour, our basketball coach ran a tough practice for the 11U boys team, which has their first tournament on Friday. The Lancers continue to become the best in camp at the Waterfront game of the summer, Rally Ball, which features two double basketball hoops and an enlarged spikeball.
We’re watching a beautiful sunset over the lake as the Arrows are bringing their paddleboards back on land from their sunset session and the Quills are returning from their Sunset Pontoon ride. It’s tie to get some rest as tomorrow promises another BIG day. Sweet dreams from 03836!
