Welcome back! 

Another schvitzy (rainy) day here in Freedom, Maine…but that doesn’t stop us from having fun!!! It can even create new ways to have fun like puddle painting. 

So much is happening all around camp! Campers who take horse riding lessons have been assigned their horses, the musical and play have been cast, campers are sporting the glass beads they made, and camp road is full of tire marks made from mountain biking classes. 

Last night was Llamapalooza!!! At this classic evening program, cabins participated in many outdoor activities: Blind Clay Sculpting, the Booty Box Bounce, Water Balloon Toss, Dizzy Bat, and MORE! Campers pulled out their athletic and creative skills to compete in silly competitions. 

Don’t be surprised by swimsuits over shirts or mismatched socks in today’s photos because it’s DRESS IN THE DARK DAY!!! 

The variety never stops at HVC because tonight is Electives. Check back into tomorrow to hear all about it! 

Signing Off, 

The Dining Hall Dragon

 

Hey you guys! Camp is in swing!!

Yesterday, we dove into the first day of classes as the ropes course, fields and barns, studios, rec hall and waterfront came to life with campers under the guidance of our eager staff.

From morning meetings featuring our favorite funky traditions to tractor distributed snack, cozy rest hour and lively backyard fuzzy time, our daily routines are taking shape.

After afternoon snack, our first robust assortment of interest groups took place – catering to hobbies of all kinds including different sports games, friendship-bracelet making, puddle-painting and dining with donkeys!

After dinner, each cabin enjoyed bonding time in an array of activities organized by our hard-working counselors for cabin night ranging from baking and campfires to studio arts and waterfront fun.

Tonight, we’re gearing up our excitement for the one and only Llamapalooza! Staff are working to prepare a memorable and spirited night featuring super fun, semi-competitive activities like tic-tac-toe frisbee, blind clay sculpting, dizzy bat and water-balloon toss.

The sun may come and go, but our enthusiasm is unwavering ✨

Talk soon!
