It is hard to believe that 3rd Session at SMA Teen Summer Camp and August have already arrived and we are nearly half way through session three. This summer has gone by so unbelievably fast and before we know it all the campers will be on the road home. The weather this summer has been quite the roller coaster, ranging from scorching hot during session two to raining almost every day of session one. For 3rd Session it has finally leveled out with warm days and cool nights!
So far in 3rd Session the water sports and activities have remained one of the
Campers and counselors went mountain biking, rock climbing, and played sports such as soccer, volleyball, basketball, ultimate Frisbee, and tennis. The campers were able to experience many different places when playing these sports. Tennis is played at the Juniata College courts and basketball, soccer, Frisbee, and volleyball are all played at a variety of parks and fields. No matter the activity, kids always came back to camp with smiles on their faces. Among the favorite activities is rock climbing. It is just a short walk or drive down to the rock climbing site that is here at camp. The Donation Rocks allow the campers to experience what climbing on real rocks is really about.
Horsemasters is also one of the more popular morning activities. Campers who are interested in spending time in the barn at camp, as well as learning how to ride a horse are able to do so through the horsemasters program. Pam, who is in charge of the barn, does a fabulous job with teaching our campers how to be around and ride horses. Over hearing stories about the adventures of horsemasters are always audible during lunchtime.
Tonight we once again have 2 camping overnights out including wakeboarding at Raystown
It's hard to believe we only have 4 full activitiy days left this session - we plan to make the best of every moment!
