Hemo week: Monday, July 19





Lively camp life started up right when campers arrived on Sunday. Late into the night people were singing and playing pranks on each other. In the morning we woke up to a bench on the roof of Aspen Cabin, toilet paper on many of our doors, and cabin cheers written in chalk all over the pavement. Today the BOEC campers rose bright and early to go rock climbing! After breakfast those left on camp began the week’s activities. A lot of people enjoyed going fishing in the morning because the weather was so pleasant. Many of us also got to have a go at the zipline and climbing wall! A very exciting experience. In the evening we had an awesome all-camp activity called Water World. There were lots of different games set up around camp that involved getting oneself wet as well as getting someone else wet! We arrived back to our cabins soaking wet but having had a blast (of both fun and water). There’s also a lot of camping going on this week; the BOEC boys are kickin’ it at Push Camp all week and there will be two different nights of optional camping for everyone else. Can’t wait for Tuesday!

Tuesday!




Sorry for the delay everyone! Tuesday was another gorgeous day at RMV.


Activities were up an running smoothly all morning and throughout the day. Outdoor living skills led a hike up to out camp where they had lunch and picked wild strawberries. As afternoon temperatures climbed, the pool and pond became popular destinations for swimming and fishing respectively. Sports and games, music and drama and the mud pit were also open during this time.
The originally scheduled all camp ("Are you smarter than a 5th grader") was bumped for a very special music guest:Jake Jabs!

Monday!

It was a beautiful day at RMV with pleasant temperatures and clear skies. Following flag raising and breakfast, morning activities kicked off at 9:45. Activities included zip lining, fishing, horseback riding, paintballing, arts and crafts and TWT training.
In the afternoon, the swimming pool was popular as were fishing and tractor rides. Following dinner,an All Camp was held based around various methods of painting titled "Arts For All." Inevitably, not all the paint stayed on the canvas!

-Hoorah to Megan for supporting everyone at the zip line.
-Hoorah to Adriana for riding horses and going down the zip line.
-Hoorah to Eddie for going down the zip line and riding horses.
-Hoorah to Billy for going down the zip line and riding horses.

TWT Week

Talking with Technology Week 2010 began today at Rocky Mountain Village with 41 campers arriving for check-in. The theme for the week is Encylopedia Extravaganza featuring the slogan "Tell me something I don't know!"
After check-in, campers and counselors returned to their respective cabins to talk about weekly activities and to plan their introductory cabin skit.

Following dinner, the campfire and cabin skits were forced inside due to inclement weather. Afterward, campers returned to their cabins for the night. Tomorrow marks the beginning of what should be an amazing week at camp.

Pictures and video from camp can be found here!

Horizon Week


Horizon Week began today with 13 campers arriving at RMV for a few fun filled days. Afternoon activities began at 4 p.m. The swimming pool was opened for a free swim while face painting and paint drums took place in the pavilion. Inclement weather forced shortened post-dinner activities but not before a few fish were caught at the pond.
During the thunderstorm, all activities were moved inside to Gennesse Hall where live music was accompanied by parachute games. Camp songs were sang and s'mores were served before activities commenced for the day. Monday will be the first full day of Horizon Week.
