ONe week gone, one more to enjoy! Today for choice we learned African foot dances, kickboxing, painting, or scrapbooking. The weather, which was rainy, cleared up just in time for waterfront. Most everyone took their swim test, so they could enjoy kayaking, and a fun game of water volleyball. Since today was the last full day of camp for the younger girls, the leaps helped plan closing campfire and performed a skit based on the beloved fairytale character Til Ugenspeigal. Closing campfire involved fire floating in a basin on the lake
TGIF–the leaps

Today the fabulous leaps participated in 2 variety of activities. Six of us went on the Mt Majestic hike. Those of us who did not went to our daily camper choir. We also learned about social norms and observed girls in work to see what roles the norms play in daily lives. Along with that we took a “trip” to Mongolia where our plane crashed and we had to survivie in the desert. After “Me Time” the two groups joined back together and began our cookout. But due to weather conditions it became a cook-in. After that we had a leaps party where we played cards, did our nails, made facials, and drank smoothies.
