Independence Day!!!
Happy Fourth of July from Camp Timberlane! It was an amazing independence day filled with lots of spirit and fun! We started the day a half hour later due to yesterday’s busy schedule. By 9:00, we were all in the lodge for an egg and hashbrown breakfast. The festivities started early: with help from our oldest campers, we decorated the lodge to be America themed, played America inspired music, and even passed out red white and blue donuts. It was a fun start to the morning! Kids were dancing, laughing, and loving the donut surprise.
After breakfast we had a quick cabin clean up followed by first and second period. We started our last series of activities today, and although some time has passed since we started, the instructors are still giving it their all every period. Pickleball was especially fun today, as the boys got to play match games by the end of the period. After second period ended we went straight into lunch, which was delicious BBQ chicken sandwiches and tater tots. We even got to enjoy some nice bombpops after the meal.
We then had a chill rest period which was followed by third and fourth period. Our boys got to have a couple of ski runs, scale the wall, and so much more: they’re really progressing in their activities. After fourth period ended, the boys enjoyed a nice free period before our meatloaf dinner.
After dinner was over, we had “organized freedom”, more simply known as an American themed free period. Once the buses rolled in, the free period ended and on our extra special evening program began: FIREWORKS!!!
We schlepped the entire camp into town to watch the magnificent Minocqua firework show. After sitting down in our crazy creeks, we passed out canteen and enjoyed the show. The fireworks were amazing! The whole thing was fun, but the finale was especially incredible. After the show ended, we loaded back up onto the buses and headed by to camp. We got back a little late tonight, so we’ll be sleeping in a half hour later tomorrow. We’ve got so much in store for this last week and a half, and tomorrow is going to be another great day. Until then…
Benches Up,
