Today started early here for some of our Campers — the Saxons and Scribes left early at 6am on the Charter Bus for 3 days at Cape Cod — this bus is taking them on a set up tour. Today’s big event is Whale watch on a boat and then out to dinner. They will check-in to their hotel and be set for an exciting 3 days.

It was a regular breakfast for the rest of us after flag raising! In the Dining Hall some groups have moved their tables together so they can all sit together. With our 4 week campers gone there is a bit more space and also because of excursions out all week there are empty tables. Each meal is kind of neat as often our youngest campers LOVE sitting at the Saxon, Scribe tables!!

After breakfast the Lancers and Arrows left for their excursion — 1 day at Canterbury Lake Park, an amusement park with plenty of fun things to do and then dinner out and return to camp for a good night’s sleep.

Friars left on their 3-day excursion all planned ahead. The highlight of their trip being White Water Rafting at Crab Apple Park. They will get set up for the night and have a great dinner before their Rafting tomorrow.

All in all, 3 trips and more to come this week with every group being out. Younger groups have all 1-day adventures and back to camp to sleep here.

Now back at camp, we will have a regular day of activities and with 5 groups out, there will be more choices of activities for those here. Lots of Waterfront activities available. Kayak, Canone, Paddleboat, Waterskiing and of course Senior waterfront with the inflatables. Looking at today’s schedule, every group has at least 2 periods of Waterfront activities.

We have had a lot of rain this summer but looking ahead the next 2 weeks are all looking good for nice days. No rain and temperature in 70’s-80’s. That should get us into Color War which is coming!!! We are already hearing cheers in the Dining Hall for it and also cheers for so and so for Captain. The excitement is for sure building and we have been known to bring all excursion back early to break it. Stay tuned for more news on that.

Beautiful day here in the Realm!! As it is everyday, even on those rainy ones. We play through, NOTHING STOPS US!
