We really can’t believe that the summer is already more than half over. It seems like just yesterday that we stuffed all the staff into the camp trucks and headed up to the Trinity Alps to start Staff Training – and believe it or not, our 3rd session starts today!
So far it’s been an incredible summer. 1st session we had 92 campers grace us with their presence – including 16 Counselors in Training. The next generation of camp counselors are going to be Rock Stars!!! 2nd Session another 94 super stoked kids joined us and wandered all over the mountains – as far as Grizzly Lake, Holland Lake, and the Marble Mountain Wilderness. And today we will welcome 93 new campers (including 20 from the Ambitious program from Japan) into our basin. We can’t wait to have some summer camp fun with them!
Yes, it’s been dry. The springs are lower than we’ve seen them in a long time and the water levels in the lakes are below normal, but we won’t let that stop us from having a good time! Thanks to the water purification chemical AquaMira we’re not having any trouble with drinking water, and all of our lifeguards have been doing a great job of checking the lakes for new obstacles and making sure that swimming is still safe – plus, the lake water is the perfect temperature for swimming!
The conclusion? Summer is too short – we wish we had more days to spend with all of you in our wonderful mountains!
