July 25, 2012

Good morning from beautiful YMCA Camp Bernie and what a beautiful day we are having, in fact!

After the stormy afternoon Monday which interrupted regularly schedule programming, we were able to get started with normal activities yesterday. The campers had free choice rotations in the morning, and cabin activities in the afternoon. This included swim checks for the Iroquois and Pioneers and "tip tests" for Winema and Lopatcong.

Those two cabins will be departing on the Delaware River trip tomorrow morning. This two day trip is a great tradition for our 12 year old campers. The kids will put in at Dingman's Ferry, paddle roughly 20 miles in two days, and be picked up at Smithfield Beach on Friday. For practice, they paddled for a while on our pond yesterday and also experience tipping their canoe, and doing a "T-Rescue".
