Today camp was full of energy with girls singing all over camp. We have learned our new cabin songs and met friends in our cabin and tribes (more on that…)

After check-in wrapped up, each cabin enjoy a picnic lunch on the Back Green with bacon chicken ranch wraps, kale pasta salad, chips, apples and lemon bars. It was a delicious first meal, but most importantly a great chance for each cabin to spend time together. Cabins are a lot like a family here at camp and it was great to see big smiles and new friendships being formed so quickly. Following lunch, each cabin headed to Lake Doris for the swim check so they could be ready for the blob, waterslide and diving area. 

Each session, we celebrate our new friends joining the Merri-Mac family with an initiation into their tribe. The Golden Eagles, Red Wolves, and Black Bears all welcome new tribe members tonight. Tribes compete each night in camp games to win the ultimate prize, the banner.
