Campers woke up this morning full of excitement, ready for the last full day of the session! This morning’s breakfast was a camp favorite: lemon poppyseed muffins and warm baked oats. Staff then announced the fourth annual Merri Mac vs. Timberlake Archery Invitational, one of the great trips today! After eating, campers made their way down to the lake for Sunnyside chapel. There, Sunnysiders sat side-by-side on the dock, dipping their toes in the water. One by one, they each shared either a favorite bible verse, their favorite thing about camp, or what camp meant to them. The air was still, filled only with the gentle strumming of guitars as they led campers in “Reckless Love” and “I’ll Fly Away”. This tender, full-circle moment came to a close with the Sunnysiders shouting out their nicknames in Shabooya Roll Call style and jumping off the dock into the lake, singing the Sunnyside song as they hugged each other, appreciating how special their Sunnyside year had been.

The rest of the day was just as full and joyful. In Cooking, campers made their own waffles and crispy bacon. Over in DIY, they created beaded keychains and bright felt pennants to take home. PAWS campers crafted fabric dog toys while puppies crawled amidst them, and in Guitar, girls traveled from activity to activity, serenading their fellow campers with a special performance for the last day of activities. In Climbing, girls did a challenge where they had to balance on crates while attached to their climbing harnesses and ropes. Even though it was hard, they laughed through it and did great! Lunch was BLT sandwiches with fresh pears and warm fries. At lunch, cabins Jiggity Jog, Little Dipper, and Sunspot were rewarded with cake for their top cabin cleaning scores!

During rest time, campers began packing their bags and had one last chance to visit the clothing store. Dinner was a delicious chicken alfredo pasta with broccoli and warm breadsticks. Afterward, the girls headed to White Feather and then made their way to Lakeside for one of camp’s most cherished traditions. In silence, they’ll walk down to the lake, sing beloved camp classics like the Camp Psalm and “All My Life’s a Circle,” and gently float their candles on the water, each flame a glowing symbol of friendship, growth, and the memories they’ll carry home.

As the session draws to a close, today reminded us of everything camp is about: laughter, tradition, and friendship that lingers long after the last song is sung.
