Tonight's evening was packed with activity all around the Round Hearth. SWIX's Northeast rep Jerry Murphy returned for yet another year to introduce campers to the basics of ski tuning and preparation. It's always great to connect camp activities to all the various elements of ski racing, and Jerry gave us the perfect platform to do so.Campers then were challenged to come up with skits in their teams using a collection of props chosen at random from around the Round Hearth. We saw scenes from coffee shops, recess playgrounds, restaurants, and even an appearance by Bill Nye! The performances were capped by an original guitar and singing number by all the counselors whose chorus included "SDSC, best camp in Stowe, our best option when we are missing the snow!"
Finally, we ended the night roasting marshmallows around the camp fire, as all good camps should. As we cross over the halfway point of this week, it has been pretty amazing to see how the entire group has come together, from the generation of older campers who will be "graduating" this year to the new campers who are still learning the flow of our daily schedule. They all have been working extremely hard in the daytime sessions, and the group's cohesion is really starting to show as a result.
