Thursday

This morning was the opposite of yesterday.  The campers were full of energy and very talkative.  They had a fun talent show last night and they were looking forward to creek stomping today.  Now if you don't know what creek stomping is, let me tell you.  Each camper puts on a pair of old sneakers that we provide.  Don't worry, they are all washed and cared for by our staff.  Then the whole camp marches down to Pescadero Creek with staff and lifeguards to hike in the stream.  This year, the water is quite low so it becomes a fun new adventure that is well chaperoned.  The kids always love it and they find lots of cool things to talk about in the water and under the rocks.  You will see pictures of this activity later on in our picture blog.
