This morning I awoke to my most favourite sound at camp; the splishes and splashes of the eager Early Ealry Bird swimmers along with the swishes of their devout paddlers along side them canoes. It was the perfect start to a perfect camp day.

Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain…
…They have also never seen how happy all of the girls are despite the cold and wet at camp.

There is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather and a different kind of good weather is certainly what we have been having up at Ak-O-Mak. We’ve tried everything; the girls learned to do our rain dance as we sang to Hunegah – the “God” of Sun; we’ve also tried ignoring the rain (maybe if we pretend it’s not there it will just get bored and leave us alone).

So, maybe I spoke too soon, after enjoying the beautiful sunshine all day yesterday we were rudely interrupted by dark stormy rain clouds.
All the girls got up early for Early Bird, running or swimming, or running and swimming before breakfast.

Hayley's News
Twas the night before Ak-O-Mak, and all through the site,
All the counsellors were itching their mosquito bites;
They hung up their towels on the clothes line with care,
In hopes all the campers would soon be there.
They were getting camp ready for a summer of fun,
With excitement for swimming, team comp, and runs.
