I hear happy noises all over camp! The sun is setting on the first day of 3A and camp feels full. Full of singing (we learned cabin songs and sang them at dinner), full of spaghetti (first night of camp classic!), full of laughter and full of friends.

The first night of camp we celebrate all of our new friends joining the Merri-Mac family with initiation. This is a chance for girls who are already Black Bears, Golden Eagles and Red Wolves to find out who will be joining them in their tribe.

Our Black Bear leaders are Nora F (Chief), Kennedy A (Elder), Elli B (Scout) and Scottie B (Scout). Our Golden Eagle leaders are Julia K (Chief), Grace F (Elder), Betsy V (Scout) and Grace M (Scout).

We finished the night by returning to our cabins for a devo and to wind down before bed. It has been one of the best first days of camp I can remember. Welcome to Third Session!
