Lots happens in two days of Camp!

Our Fourth of July was windy, chilly, and fun! The eighth graders took their traditional trip into the town of Lake Placid with Fr. Jack and CJ to watch the fireworks over Mirror Lake. This is a great reward for the hard work these veterans have put into the camp season so far.

During Sunday Talk, Mr. Staysniak awarded the first two Camper of the Week awards to James Mai and David Bernard. In the eyes of their counselors and the camp staff, these two eigth graders showed an exceptional desire to be open to growth during this first week of camp. Congratulations to these two - they are making the right choices to have a successful camp season.

The Camp Monserrate Scavenger hunt took place on Sunday afternoon. The entire camp took the afternoon to work in teams of three to find as many items on the scavenger hunt list as possible. Different items on the list received different amounts of points. Many of the boys went for the "big point" items like frogs, tadpoles, and even fish! Here are the boys enjoying the muddy outdoors as they look for something to capture.

Finally, on Sunday night, each cabin unveiled their cabin names. We are now proud to say that instead of Cabins 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5, our camp has the Pride, the Spark, the Oddessey, the Hustle, and the Unexpected. The Pride used their new name as motivation for the climb up Roostercomb Mt. on Monday.

Make sure to look at our online photo album to see lots of other photos along with a delicious desert we had last night, made espectially unique thanks to Mr. Arte's newly discovered cake decorating skills.
