Hi Everyone,
We took to the Stowe Rec Path this afternoon for an alternate training session on our bikes. We had three destinations along the 6-mile path, the Stowe Bike Park, Lackey's General Store (Candy), and a spot to swim. Some groups got in all three, while others spent a little too much time at one of the stops (Candy). The kids had fun (Candy), got wet (Candy), and managed a $3.00 budget to get the ESSENTIALS!
Overall, the camp is extremely well behaved this year. The nights have become quiet for the most part, and everyone is getting the rest they need. They work hard during the day and pay attention to our featured coaches so each of them can take something away that will help them improve this winter. I cant wait until my own boys are old enough to attend. The socialization skills that each child is able to work on are invaluable to their social development. Learning physical/athletic skills are also important, but they are secondary to this opportunity to develop listening skills, teamwork, and the ability to follow directions. I am very proud of the effort displayed by all campers, and the comfort level has risen so high that I would say camp now feels like a little home away from home.
Tonight we have scheduled a movie night with popcorn, and I think everyone will enjoy the down time as much as our coaches and counselors.
Thanks,
Danny Noyes - Camp Director
