Heat Wave Hits the Valley

07/17/2012

Advill campers and staff woke up to a hot day! It was so hot that we had two mandatory rest hours. After breakfast the village broke up into four groups. Session two had it’s first meeting of the council, a beloved Advill tradition. Others tested their courage on our zipline. Some improved their interpersonal skills while participating in our low ropes challenge course. Other campers expressed their creative side with a little natural art. Second period camps had the option of climbing our climbing tower, going to our giant’s swing, mt. boarding, or playing in the creek.

Just before lunch campers had their first mandatory rest hour. As the afternoon rolled into gear and the heat went up campers and staff went to Lake Cole. Other campers went creekin in Biscuit creek. All in all it was a great day for Advill and we’re looking forward to another tormorrow!!
