Session 7 Recap!!!!!!!

Our last week of youth campers for this summer was absolutely incredible. Campers participated in programming that challenged their endurance and team work with different ‘type 2 fun’ activities, they practiced self care, played water games of all sorts, learned to monkey around, played role playing games, did so much art, and did silly sports.

This week also included a fun day where afternoon programming options called oneshots were switched to be at night, allowing campers to do different activities that they might not get to do in the daytime.

The last youth session also means that the sacred tradition of Rumpus happened, a coming of age ceremony that involves running around a large bonfire.
