Summer 2016 Archives - Page 7 of 7 - Camp Robin Hood

Good morning from CRH! It was a beautiful sunny start and our young campers were up early to take it all in. Flag raising saw the assemblage of well over 300 campers and their staff ready to fly the red, white and blue as well as our new RH flag. Then group by group we headed into the dining hall for a breakfast of pancakes, sausage, oatmeal, delicious fresh fruit, and a variety of cereals. We headed back to the bunks afterwards for cabin clean-up and to get ready for an action-packed day.

All groups made it to the waterfront at some point to attempt their 16 laps so they can take advantage of all the water sports including kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, water skiing, tubing and canoeing. Other activities campers enjoyed today included arts and crafts, woodshop, soccer, basketball, baseball, gaga.

The Realm was filled with the sound of children playing and laughing and our camp was once again alive. Now, the stars are bright and the air is crisp. Reveille has played and the bunks are quiet.

Campers are undoubtedly having sweet dreams as we get ready for another magical day in The Realm.

Sweet dreams from The Realm,

327: That was the number torn down in the dining hall in front of hundreds of screaming campers, overjoyed that the countdown since August 13, 2015 is officially over. We all know that every day in The Realm is beautiful, but today was exceptional. The sun shone down upon our campers as they ran into each other’s arms, caught up with old friends, made new friends, and marched into the dining hall hand in hand for dinner. We had the privilege of celebrating our first camp birthdays, accompanied by the parade around the dining hall and the Camp Robin Hood birthday song. This is a tradition I can remember from my first summer as a Tumbler of 1998. Robin Hood has always been steeped in tradition, and it’s amazing how whether it’s 327 days later or years later, we get such comfort from these traditions. 89: That is the number of summers that children have experienced the magic in the trees. We cannot wait for our first full day tomorrow.

Sweet dreams from The Realm,
Emily
