Children's Music and Drama Camp (CMAD), Day 1, June 25, 2013

Good morning everyone.  Well the CMAD camp came in yesterday afternoon to overcast weather but the spirits were high and the camp got off to a great start.  As one of the leaders told me this morning, the night was uneventful and that is a good thing.

This morning, I visited all the campers during breakfast to hear what was on their mind and I got lots of comments to share with folks back at home.  Here is what they said...

• This morning, some of the campers saw a beautiful banana slug and there was one in the group that gave the slug a little kiss.  Cool!
• Campers told me they slept well and there was one young lady who apparently is usually afraid of the dark and yet she slept well through the night.
• Campers were enjoying the breakfast this morning and made comments that the food is good at Redwood Glen.  They loved the eggs and potatoes.
• Redwood Glen is fun was a popular sentiment and we are just getting started.
• Campers were introduced to the plans for the week and are already excited for the presentation that will happen on Saturday.
• Several commented on the puppets being fun.
• One camper told me that it was her first time at camp and she is having so much fun. (I spoke to her mom last night)
• Campers told me that they are enjoying the wildlife at camp and especially the deers.
• They love to sing and a favorite from last night was Pharoh-Pharoh.
• Some commented that Retreat cabin is a big place.
• There was the comment that someone sings well in the shower.

Everyone was in a great mood this morning and promised they would have more to share tomorrow.  Redwood Glen is a fun place and the staff are focusing on loving the campers.  God bless.
