Good morning, sunshines! It’s me, Cara B., with all the latest from Cabin Night last night!
After a delicious traditional Korean dinner cooked with help from Kae Kim, host to our Korean campers each summer, we headed off with our cabin groups for Cabin Night! Cabin Night is a super special evening program where everyone does a different activity with their cabin group. Here’s what everyone got up to:
Wombles did an art project with Polymer clay
Avalon did build and destroy at the end of the world
Gimme Shelter swam at the lake
Loons did a glass fusing project
Down Under made their own chapstick and did facials
Paquatahnee made homemade Oreos
The Burrow made s’mores
Shangri-La spent the whole evening at Tipis, doing Tipi zip and then camping out
Chateau Fiasco hiked and camped at the glade
Treasure Island had a movie night
LCH swam at the lake and made s’mores
French 1/4 made fondue over the fire and made slime
Fiddler’s Green made edible cookie dough and played ropes games
Valhalla had fun with glow paint and made s’mores
Camelot made glass beads
Atlantis destroyed a Nalgene water bottle
Wabanaki did tie-dye and played games
Taj Mahal had a game show night
Forbidden Planet made pizza at the pizza oven
Haley’s Comet did a trail ride
Whew! Doesn’t that all sound amazing? After a good night’s sleep, we woke up to the unmistakable smell of donuts, sugary cereals, and Pop-tarts. This sweet aroma could only mean one thing…JUNK FOOD DAY!! The dining hall was full of cheers are we loaded our plates with treats. At morning meeting, we discussed Junk Food Day breakfast recipes including stuffing donuts with cereal and spreading donut frosting onto Pop-tarts. Peter I. demonstrated the “correct” way to eat a Boston cream donut, by scooping the cream out with a spoon, filling the inside with Golden Grams, soaking the entire concoction in milk, and eating it all in one bite. We were all truly astonished- who knows what we’ll come up with at lunch once hot dogs, Cheetos, Oreos, and marshmallow fluff are in the mix!
With our sugar rush at a peak high, we headed off for the sixth day of classes. The session has truly flown by! Soon we will enjoy performances of the play, the musical, and sharing night of course! Mama Iguana and I can hardly wait. Tonight is Electives, so stay tuned to hear all about it tomorrow. For now, enjoy photos from Cabin Night and Junk Food Day.
