We started off Week 3 with a bang! The Saxons and Scribes arose at 6:30 this morning to summit Mount Washington, the Northeast’s highest peak. With sunny skies and limited wind gusts, it may have been the most beautiful day in recent history that our campers have embarked on the journey. The 20 campers and all staff members made it up and down and were welcomed back into the Realm with a high-carb meal featuring Yensi’s famous lasagna, pizza from local favorite Pizza Barn, and more. 

Elsewhere, it was another hot and beautiful day! Our phenomenal coaches and counselors have taught our campers so many skills throughout the first two weeks. Our athletics department took home three first place trophies today! First, we heard news from Birchmont that our 12U girls softball team capped off their undefeated morning off with a trophy. Great job ladies! After lunch, the 12U boys soccer team defended RobinHood’s home turf. They finished the day 3-0 and did not let in a single goal. Finally, right before dinner, our two 13U girls soccer teams returned from Evergreen having placed first and second in their tournament. 

It was a beautiful day to be outside playing sports and hanging out at the waterfront. The Friars and Yeomen had great baseball periods on our new baseball field as we prepare to host a tournament later this week. In addition to waterskiing, wakeboarding, and wakesurfing, our boats program introduced a camper favorite today, TUBING! Our main beachfront was full all day with swim lessons, general swims, and paddleboarding. A few groups even got to swim at the historic ODT (Outdoor Theater). 

The fast-paced day ended with another beautiful sunset at the waterfront as campers raced around camp during Evening Activity. It should be a good night’s sleep for all as we prepare for another HUGE day tomorrow. Sweet dreams from 03836.
