Here’s a glimpse into our morning routine: Our enthusiastic staff wake campers with the lively tune of "The Birdie Song," signaling the start of another exciting day. After a refreshing toothbrushing and breakfast session at the Rhino Dining Hall, campers gather with their designated "Crew." At SMA Teen Camp, every camper belongs to a Crew—a group responsible for daily chores that play a fundamental role in our camp community. These chores, which only take about 15 minutes each morning, embody our belief that everyone contributes to the smooth functioning of our summer home. During the initial mornings of each session, Crew time isn't just about tasks; it's about building connections. We kick off with name games and team-building activities, including today’s spirited favorite, "Pole Barn." Following these engaging activities and before diving into the day’s adventures, we captured a snapshot of each Crew. The resulting photos capture genuine smiles and the bonds forming among our campers. Here they are: ![Summer-Camp-1 (3)](https://www.sma-summers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Summer-Camp-1%20(3).jpg?width=902&height=603&name=Summer-Camp-1%20(3).jpg)   ![Summer-Camp-1 (2)](https://www.sma-summers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Summer-Camp-1%20(2).jpg?width=902&height=603&name=Summer-Camp-1%20(2).jpg)   ![Summer-Camp-1 (1)](https://www.sma-summers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Summer-Camp-1%20(1).jpg?width=902&height=603&name=Summer-Camp-1%20(1).jpg)   ![Summer-Camp-1 (4)](https://www.sma-summers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Summer-Camp-1%20(4).jpg?width=902&height=603&name=Summer-Camp-1%20(4).jpg)   ![Summer-Camp-1 (5)](https://www.sma-summers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Summer-Camp-1%20(5).jpg?width=902&height=603&name=Summer-Camp-1%20(5).jpg)   These moments encapsulate the spirit of camaraderie and growth that defines our SMA experience. We look forward to sharing more of these cherished memories with you as the summer unfolds.
