The last day of camp’s 126th season on Newfound Lake started with a blast from the cannon! A final breakfast concluded with council goodbyes and the presentation of a handful of theater and activity cups. For acting, Burke Gunther and Rob Head won the Green Room Cup and the Coons Cup respectively. For stage crew Max Reuter won the Pop Watson Cup. For activities, Henry Powell won the Anniversary Cup, and the Woodpeckers won the Club Contest! After singing the final two verses of the camp song in Mem Hall, the campers finished packing and prepared for their final Inspection. In the chapel line, Inspector General Will Harvey awarded the Inspection Cup to Cardigan. We walked the path to our chapel, reflecting on the past seven weeks. Mr. Michael’s sermon revolved around loyalty, happiness, and gratitude and that our season is only thoroughly finished if we instill the values we practice here away from camp. After the service, we had a tearful goodbye and the 2021 camp season came to an end. Quietly, all excused.
