Christmas in July
Yesterday we decided to spice up our summer with a surprise Christmas party. When campers woke we had them race to the dining hall to see the decor of Christmas morning. After a full day of special triathlon activities and plenty of holiday music, we encouraged healthy rivalry in a gingerbread house creativity competition. The evening came to a close as campers gathered together to enjoy the Santa Clause movie and share stories about their favorite Christmas time memories. Because who says you can’t spread holiday cheer in the summer heat?
From all of us here at Camp Huawni,
We wish you a Merry Christmas and the happiest summer!
