Exploring New Sites

Posted on

After a fun-filled week of interest groups it was time for a change of pace. Boys Camp packed their bags and hiked to the historic Wells Site, on the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan.

After breakfast, campers were given a period of free time before the long day ahead of them.

Before heading to the Wells Site, East Camp joined together in Orwig Chapel for Something Sacred, a time to reflect on the topic of trust. Cabin leaders presented personal stories, read poems, and led singalongs.

The hike to the Wells Site was longer than the typical hike to West Camp, but the views were well worth the extra distance.

Campers started playing card games, drawing, reading, hammocking, swimming at the beach and playing yard games. It was a great time to catch up with friends and relax together as a community. 

Signing up for interest groups was another exciting highlight of the day. Boys Camp was buzzing with anticipation for the week ahead. On the hike back to Bryant Field, campers and staff alike were talking about the interest groups they get to do this week.

Once the campers returned to Boys Camp, dinner was served, a satisfying meal after a long day of hiking and sunshine. To celebrate the day together, campers made s’mores before heading back to their cabins.
