Today the skies are blue with the lovely white clouds that provide refreshing moments of shade. The girls have been enjoying their activities and I overheard one little camper at lunch saying that the food (wings, fries, salad, cottage cheese, and fruit salad) was the best ever! That's what we like to hear!
Our Iron Chefs have started preparing for their big challenge of making dinner for the camp on Thursday. They watched a food safety video this morning and were introducted to an industrial sized kitchen and our kitchen staff. They are brimming with excitement.
Well that's about it for now. I think its time for me to head out of this office and join some campers in some fun!
