Summer 2022 Session 5 Day 1

Dear Parents,

Session 5 got off to a great start as counselors met campers at the buses in Taipei under the hot city sun. Once everyone was loaded on, we set out to camp where, thankfully, the weather tends to be a degree or two cooler. More counselors greeted campers when they arrived and soon campers were on their way to check in to their homes-away-from-home for the next six days. Counselors showed campers around and they all discussed the camp rules and camper expectations for the week. Teams then checked in with the nurse and then got together for ice-breaking games and name games. Right when everyone was getting hungry, we headed to the main hall for lunch. After lunch, we got into our core activity rotation.

Teams followed this schedule today.

Red Team: Arrive, check-in, lunch, giant swing, Pillo Piolo

Purple Team: Arrive, check-in, lunch, Pillo Polo, giant swing

Green Team: Arrive, check-in, lunch, archery, river tracing

Blue Team: Arrive, check-in, lunch, river tracing, archery

Brown Team: Arrive, check-in, lunch, cooperative games, crafts

Gray Team (Teens): Arrive, check-in, lunch, cooperative games, rock climbing

Right now, campers are headed to their living areas to get showered and ready for dinner. After dinner, campers will write in their journals before joining in the opening campfire. We will sing songs, play games, and, of course, roast marshmallows for S'mores. It is the perfect way to end the first day of camp.

Goodbye from Camp Taiwan
