Shananagens With State Champions

The morning of the 11 began much like any other morning. The sun came up, we got up, stretched and split up into morning groups. My group was assigned hills! Even being my 4th year at camp, I still learned quite a bit about how to run a hill, coming from different leaders. It was FREEZING and raining outside, and somehow our group managed to be the last one home. Great right? To top it all off, what we thought was breakfast time, was really a nutrition lecture where the eating consisted of a bagle and bowl of fruit split among 7 people. The day got better though (we got to finish with a proper breakfast upon the conclusion of the lecture). We went on a beautiful run after lunch and worked on some songs for our animal groups (mine being the Wisdom of Wombats). Our song turned out less than fantastic, but other groups were great! The highlight of the day was the recovery stations. Foam rollers, tennis balls, self massages, and lots of stretching led to a relaxing afternoon.To finish off the night, we did a "speed not-dating" game where we got to know our fellow campers. Lastly, a group of us were hanging out, telling stories and what not in the lobby. One unfortunate camper happened to fall asleep in an armchair and was subjected to our shananagens. First we hoisted the chair in the air and he breifly woke up with a look of terror on his face, but that quickly passed and he was fast asleep once again. Since he seemed to be sleeping just fine, we decided to dream a little bigger. We moved some couches around and hid another camper under the box. A few confusing minutes and taps on the window later, the sleeping camper was awake once again with an odd look on his face. He decided to go to bed after that! It was quite a fun day!
