Today was another great day at GCC! Everybody woke up and went to chapel, followed by a breakfast of pancakes and sausage. After breakfast was Cabin Cleanup, a period of time where all of the campers clean up their cabin in anticipation of being graded by Head Counselor Joe later in the day. Next the campers went to the five Departments: Riflery, Archery, Swimming, Boating, and Handicraft. Lunch was turkey and cheese sandwiches with bug juice and afterwards everybody went to Rest Period. Rest Period is a time where everybody hangs in their cabins during the hottest part of the day and sleeps if they choose to. After a Canteen of popcorn, cabins participated in different activities like Soccer, Free Swim, Ropes games, and the Slip-N-Slide. After a dinner of baked chicken, green beans, and potatoes, the campers had three activities they could choose to go to: Fishing off the dock, Volleyball/Basketball, and open Archery. Everybody then was treated to a wonderful Chapel Talk by one of our counselors, Kayla Hernandez. Cabins then went on to their own activities, including Star Gazing and an Ice Cream Social. Cabin 5 is sleeping at the Haunted House tonight, and Cabins 2 and 3 are staying at the DLB. The DLB (Dry Lake Bed) is an open field that's about a ten minute walk away from the main camp property. They'll most likely have a campfire and cook breakfast out there in the morning. Overall, it was a great day and we're excited for the rest of the session!
