Postcards from Camp: Saturday, June 23, 2012

Editor's Note: Each full day of camp, we will try to post multiple updates. One update is called "Postcards from Camp" where campers answer questions prompted in their journals. In another daily update, we will also post your camper's responses to daily prompts about yesterday's activities. Finally, we try to upload a few photos each day. The internet connection is a little bit slow out here so if you don't see a lot of photos, don't worry! We've taken plenty and we'll post them on a password protected Shutterfly account after camp is over.  Your camper's writing will always be posted with the rest of their company and in a random order.
