Mini-Highlight Video: Capture the Flag
We know the first couple of days of summer camp can be nerve-racking, especially for our campers that may be experiencing being away from home for the first time. We also know it’s completely normal for campers to feel homesick, and we’ve found creative ways to help ease them into camp so they feel safe and comfortable in this new environment.
Last night, our counselors dressed up in wild and silly costumes and led our campers in a game of Capture the Flag - Huawni style!

To celebrate the night, we ended with an all-camp dance party!
