Rookie campers arrive
There is always one special week every summer that Camp Highlander staff look forward to the most…Rookie Camp! And this year’s opening day did not let us down one bit.

As campers arrived they took the “Rookie Camp Express” to the Rec Hall where they were greeted by their counselors and had free time playing games like UNO, baggo, ping pong and foozball. We ate lunch,our first meal together as cabins, then took a short rest hour before starting a busy afternoon which included unpacking, time in the pool, a camp tour and cabin pictures. But the highlight of the afternoon was definitely the hours spent in the amazing inflatables donated by the Orr family. Campers jumped, dived, raced and slide around on the huge obstacle courses stopping only to enjoy a cold drink before racing to their next challenge.

After dinner there was a very intense staff vs. camper bombardment game, which the campers reigned supreme (not to worry, the staff are sure to win the kickball game tomorrow). Then we finished up the evening with a campfire, music and s’mores before heading off to bed and a good night’s sleep.
