Hello Everyone,
Today was a great day up here at Menzies . Night Owls and Camp’s Canoe arrived back from their trip this morning and they had some great stories to share with everyone. They also had a blast doing archery! All the groups had the option of participating in our Polar Bear Swim this morning in the Canoe Lake and some of the campers took that opportunity. They also earned a certificate about doing the Polar Bear Swim. Forest Friends went swimming this afternoon and had a great time planning their skit. For campfire, they decided to dance on Hannah Montana song for everyone. Sierra Safari slept in the meadow last night and woke up in time for many of the girls to do the Polar Bear swim. They also went swimming in the afternoon and to Nature. The girls in Firelight and Fairytales had a great time at Nature where they went bug catching in the meadow. The girls were also able to go canoeing and had a lot of fun looking for tadpoles. Tonight we look forward to an all-camp campfire where all the campers will perform skits with their units for the rest of camp. It should be a lot of fun! It has been a great session and we are sorry to see all the girls return home tomorrow.
Love, Ramona Raccoon

Hi everyone,
Today has been a busy day up here at Camp Menzies! The girls arrived excited and full of energy. Everyone was very excited to meet their counselors. In the afternoon, they toured camp with their unit and did the swimming assessment. We had a nice pasta dinner with a salad bar.
They also played name games and running games in our meadow with their counselors. All the units planned their cookouts today and decided what foods they would cook for their unit cookouts. On the Loose arrived from their two days trip and they had an amazing time doing water rafting, all day today. This evening we had a campfire where all the girls were able to watch their counselors perform skits. It was a lot of fun! Tomorrow will be another busy day for everyone. Good Night!
Look for pictures starting tomorrow!

Today has been a busy day up here at Camp Menzies! The girls arrived excited and full of energy. The afternoon was spent going through rotations to different activity areas to see what the units would like to do at each area. Everyone did rotations through the different specialty areas where they decided what they wanted to work on during their time here. In the evening everyone went up to Pine haven for our campfire. The girls also got to hear the Story of the three pigs, and also singing a lot of songs. Today, the campers had a chance to do some swimming in the swimming hole, play a lot of meadow songs and many other activities.
Tomorrow is our first busy day filled with activities and fun!
Love, Ramona Raccoon
