Hi everyone, we celebrated Wild West Day yesterday, a great tradition we have here at Camp Bernie.
The morning was spent in competition for gold. There was gold hidden across the high ropes course, floating in the pond, at the bottom of the pool, attached to archery targets and even at the top of the climbing tower. Each team had to collect as much gold as possible.
The afternoon was the wild west carnival, in which each team set up a booth with the goal of earning as many tickets as possible from their customers. Among the booths were: face painting, the saloon (with water and gatorade), a hayride through the nation (watch out for bandits!), the county jail (where you were bound to get soaked) and a kissing booth (Hershey's kisses, that is). As always, campers and staff had a blast.
For dinner, Chef Michael served fried chicken, scalloped potatoes, green beans, rolls and "sand" for dessert (vanilla pudding with vanilla cake, whipped cream and a gummy worm on top: yum!). We also had birch beer to wash it all down and country music playing in the background.
Finally, in the evening we held a square dance on the basketball court with our square dance caller, Rusty. We also did a bunch of line dances like the Macarena, Electric Slide and Cotton Eye Joe.
If you were wondering, the winning team was the Cattle Rachers. As you can see, we had a fun and full day, enjoy the pictures from it and a massive thanks to the Vanders for assisting with our photography yesterday. Have a nice day all!
