The day started with a very chilly morning as all of the campers reluctantly stuck their heads under the cold showers. The highlight of the morning activity period was Simon Brown’s asserting his dominance over the tennis game by winning his second straight senior singles championship. The activity period also included preparation for the diving competition and crew races, a specie to the Bristol Gorge, and a box making extravaganza. The afternoon activity period was much of the same with the highlight being the sub-junior baseball championship. The winner of that was Malcolm Klingler’s “Dinger Slingers,” beating Peter Davies’s team 1-0. This was followed by a fantastic Tree Talk given by Martin Millspaugh on the importance of pushing yourself in “the arena” while also having a quiet “corner” to recover. After the Tree Talk, many trustees were introduced marking the beginning of Trustees’ Weekend. After that, we had pizza Friday and a campfire of Mr. Vinnie reading “Pigs is Pigs” and “The Interlopers.” The stories put us at ease after an action-packed day on the hillside.
