Happy Tuesday from Camp Ritchie! The day started off promising and then the weather took a turn for the worse...
The day started off a bit chilly so I put on some layers.
Later in the day, it warmed up a bit so I took the jacket layer off.
After breakfast, I got to start the day off with some rappelling training. One of the youth staff agreed to be "injured" so we could practice using the body board. I had to keep her head still and straight as she was lowered onto the board and that was darn near impossible.
Some carrying practice. We didn't go all the way down to the lake but that would be the plan in case a girl was truly injured.
Next up was some training for youth staff on belaying at the climbing wall. I could practically do this with my eyes closed, ha! So I sat back and watched.
Baby rattlesnakes were around and a few were caught at camp and disposed of, not by me, thank goodness.
In the afternoon the weather started to be not so great...
Clear to stormy in a matter of minutes
Love having fresh cantelope at camp!
Activities in the lodge to get out of the rain
Muddy floors because of wet shoes in the bathroom
A new look at camp when it rains!
Indoor games again. Fun stuff
Don't forget the guessing jar of candy!
Staff talking about archery and giving out information
More games in the lodge and hot chocolate. Mmm
Heather L. is in charge of camp this year and was doings some orientation with the girls
Always gotta document the food and treats!
Taco salad ~ one of my favorite meals
Time for a fire drill. This happens twice during the week of camp
It sure was pretty outside though!
Then the electricity went out so that made for some excitement.
What a day 2!
What a day 2!
