Adorable, spirited; MacCready’s future

    Formerly known as Junior Section, the most recent moniker, Lodge,  comes from the five room building in which Camp MacCready’s youngest campers reside.  The “Lodge Girls” are hard to miss: always full of energy and looking for some counselor or older camper to give a hug to, or hold hands with.

     But this is no group of pampered young girls. Lodge activities so far in 2005 include overnight camp outs, boat trips and a variety of sports.  You can find Lodge girls winning horse show ribbons and on top of mountains, and their hard work was vital to the success of the camp drama production.

     With the help of Section Head Fiona Dubuss, the members of the section look back on the first four weeks of camp.

     We have a fabulous group of girls this summer.  They are full of incredible energy, which is evident as soon as you walk into the Lodge and see the bulletin board covered in pictures of our section activities.  Prior to the departure of the four-weekers, we asked some of the campers what they liked best about Lodge this summer.

Anna Hector: “All the section activities and that we’re getting a cabin party.”

Hannah Karp: “Emma and Crystal” (her cabin-mates)

Emma McCabe: “Being the youngest, so everyone likes us!”

Chiara”  Any place with Hannah Karp has got to be a fun place.

Jenna Zimmerman: “Meeting new friends.”

     With a new group of girls arriving for the second session, there is definitely a different dynamic. As seven-weeker Hannah Karp said, “So far it’s pretty cool.”

     Emma McCabe, who left camp having earned the section’s MacCready “M” and Spirit Award summed up her experience in Lodge like this: “The best thing ever!”

TRIPS OUT TODAY

     While the heads of camp are busy scheduling classes and activities for the second session, campers are busy both in and out of camp. All boys are on day trips, ranging from fishing excursions, to hikes up the Adirondack Forty-sixers.  Meantime, the girls (who will hike Saturday) are spending the morning partaking in “Krazy Klubs”, an array of goofy and fun games and classes.

The start of session #2 classes..... The 101st annual “Blue-Grey Game”.... a Moonshiner skit night....MacCready Fiesta.... Camp Dance.... Lake Champlain Regatta.... Willow Hill Horse Show.... Overnight hikes and trips... Section activities....
