We have had a very busy few days at camp. On Thursday we had our annual “5 year club” party with all of the campers and staff who have been at Micah five or more years. We shared memories and got to eat sundaes while watching slid shows from years past. We also hosted a tennis intercamp and many, many campers had the opportunity to go on the zip line. In the evening the camp was enchanted by the performance of Beauty and The Beast.
Friday was our last day of regular activities for the session and the weather was perfect for some serious fun in the sun. Many Critter and Prowler campers went on a hike for the day. Our evening was jam packed with Erev Shabbat Services, our Blue and Gold Banquet and the Camper Talent Show. The Banquet was a ten year retrospective of all things Micah. Many thanks to the CITs for all of their hard work which made the evening such a wonderful success.
Pixar Theme Dinner
Well, it was another event filled day at Camp Micah. The first half of the day was beautiful as the temperatures stayed in the upper 70’s. Our Under 11 Girls had a kickball inter-camp vs. Camp Mataponi that proved very competitive and a lot of fun. In the afternoon our Under 15 boys went to Camp Wigwam for a Flag Football game that unfortunately had to be postponed due to weather. The weather also played a little havoc at Micah today. The skies opened up at about 4pm forcing us to go to a rainy day schedule, one that allowed everyone to get into costume for our Pixar theme dinner. The dinner was put together by the critters and consisted of decorations of all the animated Pixar movies. It was a lot of fun and everyone really had a great time. Congratulations to all of the critters and their counselors along with our special events coordinators Gretl Kresmer and Scott Flickinger for an amazing evening. The evening concluded with the final dance of the session.
Sunday
It was another beautiful day in downtown Bridgton and Sebago. The temperatures stayed in the low 80’s and we had a nice breeze coming off the lake which made for an awesome day of activities. Some of the highlights included the opening of the Zip line, which is always a camp favorite. All day long you would hear campers coming up from the waterfront saying, “man that was so cool”. This afternoon we held our first inter-camp tennis competition of the summer vs. Camp Kingswood. The inter-camp was for 13 and under boys and girls. Both teams played really well, the boys pulled out a 4-1 win while the girls lost a 3-2 nail biter. This evening we had evening activity by Unit. The Critter and Prowler girls had a campfire program on friendship and bullying. The Critter boys are spending the night at the ladder. The Prowler boys had an awesome game of kickball. The Timber girls did a flower pedal activity. The timber boys played British Long ball. The Summit girls played, “extreme how well do you know your counselor” while the Summit boys had trivia night.
