Session 3 Begins!

07/29/2018

Welcome to the Hird blog. This is where myself (Morgan, the Hird Director) and Meredith (also a Hird Director) will share updates, stories, and sometimes photos. We’ll update it most nights after evening program has finished so this might be a good place to check first thing in the morning with your coffee.

Session 3 has begun and we are so excited to have all of our campers here! Our villages (Sacky, Hemlock, Tacoma, Lenape, Windsong, and Pac) started with name games and team building activities to help our campers to get to know each other. This emphasis will continue tomorrow before we head into our normal routine on Tuesday.

After dinner (Pizza!), all of the Hird headed to Castle Lawn for our opening campfire. There was a mix of skits and songs for our campers to enjoy before everyone headed back to their cabins for the night. The photo below is from the campfire.

Tomorrow everyone will take their swim tests and you can expect cabin photos to go up on SmugMug sometime in the evening.
