We had a great week here at Maripai making wizard pinecones, archery, trail rides and so much more! Today our week one campers return home hopefully to see us again soon!

Happy camping

Week 1!

Camp Maripai 2015 has begun!
Campers arrived Sunday and magical mayhem is on a roll!

Monday night the girls decorated their counselors as dragons out of recyclables.

 This week at Camp Maripai has been a shorter session, but there has been no short on fun! Despite a few showers, we had a GREAT time at archery, barn, and on the field. One of our Unit Leaders, Flipper, set up an awesome relay race for our Big Sis/Lil Sis session that we happened to catch on camera. Check it out!

Flipper demonstrating - we don't ask our girls to do anything we don't do!

After the girls finished, our counselors then did the race as well!

This week at Camp Maripai has been oh so eventful already - and full of ROCK! Our all-camp activities were a two-day "Rock Fight" where campers and counselors lip sync to the music of their favorite songs! This year we had "Thriller," "What is Love," "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," "Roar," and more.

We also have Free Choice every Monday where the girls can learn line dancing and salsa as well as participate in a number of other activities, like Bottle Rocket Launches, Nature Hikes, and Facepainting. Here are some pictures of our week so far!

 These last few weeks have, as always, been lovely here at Camp Maripai. We had not only a dance party, but also a carnival right on the lodge porch - complete with cotton candy machine!

Our counselors even got in on the fun and dressed up with the girls.
