Unfortunately we didn’t get to stay at tree trekkers as long as we would have liked because of a storm but we had fun while it lasted!!

The rain stopped long enough for the sun to join on the morning run

We want to give a shout out to 1-800-BOARDUP of South Central Pennsylvania and Serena Evans (mother of Cadet Evans) for donations of Gatorade and water to keep our cadets hydrated throughout this week! And for the poncho donation and cooling towels to help us be prepared for any kinds of weather!

Everyone looked forward to lights out tonight since the day was packed with all sorts of activities.
Rooms were cleaned (and then cleaned again). Cadets learned CPR and motorcycle safety. We were also visited by multiple organizations to include lower Paxton K-9 unit and Gettysburg Fire Department. We are tired but excited for tomorrow!

Our first PT session was a success! The cadets were able to see what campus looks like before the sun comes up.

Just a few hours into camp and the cadets are learning how to march and look uniform within their platoons. We are ready for a good week!
