Operation Purple Camp is in Week 2! Roughly 105 campers, 29 staff (including Lee and I) are enjoying the warm temps outside and the cool temps inside.... Last night's Opening Ceremony was pretty amazing, complete with a "Purple" sunset. After a quick poll of the campers, I have decided that virtually all children attending here are of the Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, Army, and Navy persuasion, while few if any are linked to NOAA, the Public Health Service, or the national Guard.
Military Experience Day this week will be akin to last weeks - two or three static displays, an awesome speaker, and Top 10!
Campers will enjoy the Giant Swing, kayaking, canoeing, rock climbing, teambuilding, ecology, and FEFA soccer (FEFA = Fourh Entertaining "futbol" Activity). Oh yeah, the pool, just as last week, is still abuzz with fun...it's always a hit! Tonight is International Night...Our counselors from South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, and Scotland will lead activities about the homelands...
This week, we'll have the Eastern 4-H Center Hunt for Scavengers, Talent Show, and Dance, too. Me no like dance. Me like talent show. Campers like dance...
I posted staff pictures in digitized format on the Eastern 4-H Ctr facebook page, too - so look at them - and add us as a "fan"...
In unrelated decoy news...I have restled coated my first-ever made from scratch decoys. The are virtually impervious to chemicals, water, and other items of potential destruction in the foul world of fowling. just need to get the paint, matte finish, keel, and heads on and I'm done!
This past weekend, Lee, me, and several staff also went to the Edenton Music and Water Festival. It was hot and we all got a lil' sunburned. We still had lots of fun!
Enjoy the day...
