Fifteen days, fourteen nights, eight entertaining campfires, six days of activities, two overnight hikes, and one FABULOUS special day later, the Camp Unalayee 2012 second session campers are on the bus and headed home!
It was a great session filled with jokes, friends, food, laughs, games, songs, and so much more. The Camp Unalayee staff had an amazing time with the 78 campers from all over the west coast (and a few from further away!), who attended our second session.
Despite a bit of rain on day three, we’ve been swimming and enjoying the summer weather. Miraculously we hardly got wet during our day of rain, and although it was awfully windy the two days after the storm, it’s been down right HOT since! Trinity Alps blue for miles!
2nd session was one of our two 15-day programs offered this summer. The 15-day sessions are the full Unalayee experience! Campers spend three days in our lake basin doing activities and then go out on a two-night backpacking trip with their tribe. After returning from the “Tribe Hike” campers have three more days of base camp fun, including Special Day, after which they get to go on a three-night hike with the destination and companions of their choice. After returning from “Choice Hikes” it’s just one more day of activities before the 5am walk down the camp road to catch the bus home. It’s amazing how fast two weeks can pass!
Some of our favorite moments from 2nd session 2012 were:
- Superhero themed Special Day was one of the best we’ve had in years! And to boot the Villains and Heroes all became friends in the end! (Although the Villains did triumph on the point total before hand).
- Taco Salad
- New skits we’ve never seen before: “Just Kidding”, “Hers-tory”, and “Saves Weight” to name a few.
- Choice Hikes with no injuries!
- Warm Mosquito Lake water.
- The CIT’s AMAZING musical talents. Bass, Melodica, Singing, Guitar, the list goes on…
