Day number two!!

Day 2 started  with a chapel as usual followed by great breakfast with homemade pancakes. Many kids love to  participate in fishing at 6AM!!! There was some lucky ones who got to experience how to catch a fish.  Classes are scheduled between 10 am -12pm. Today morning  classes were  Armenian Dance, Music/Singing,Traditions&Customs and as always Bible study. Armenian dance class went amazingly well and kids could show their moves! Our chef made happy our strong side of the camp by serving steak for dinner.  Night hike was scheduled at 7pm followed by star gazing at sport court and delicious num-nums (choreg).      

Week 3 - Monday (First Official Day!)

Today was our first full day at Hye Camp! We started this morning with chapel, which set the tone for a peaceful day.  After breakfast were four different morning sessions.  Today also marked the beginning of cabin cleanup awards.  The winners got Smores at campfire!  This afternoon was filled with homemade pizza, sports, arts & crafts, lakeside and more!  The entire camp got together for a photo, which everyone will get to take home at the end of the week.  What a perfect start to what is shaping up to be a memorable week!

Week 3 - Sunday (Welcome to Hye Camp!)

Week 3 has officially begun!  All the buses got here safely, as did everyone else.  Counselors have decorated and personalized the cabins and everyone is enjoying getting to know each other and bonding.  Around 4:00 the entire camp came down the hill for a mandatory fire drill.  At the drill, each cabin also got to introduce themselves with an enthusiastic cheer.  Before chapel, all the program staff informed the campers and counselors what will be expected of them and all the fun activities they have to look forward to.  Tonight after a delicious dinner, the camp held an ice cream social, which was the perfect opportunity for everyone to socialize even more.  We ended our first night at Hye Camp with a campfire full of cabin skits, sing-a-longs, and winding down with a beautiful song.  Looking forward to day two!!
