DAILY REPORT

Marvelous Monday

Not even the detour could stop campers

from lining up at the Camp Barnes gate.

While the bus was yet nowhere in sight,

State 4-H Camp had begun! As campers

arrived and settled into their cabins, the

heart and spirit of camp came alive. After a

lunch of chicken patties and French fries,

campers were informed on cabin rules and

then headed to orientation to be briefed on

more camp rules. After all that business

was taken care of, campers had fun

unscrambling words, such as Brigid, running

man, Nova Scotia, snapchat, basalisk, and

pollen. After great skits, campers headed

off to their first people group meeting

followed by free recreation, where campers

enjoyed the pool, waterfront, and a volley-

ball game. Hungry campers then came to a

delicious dinner of meatball sandwiches and

a healthy salad. Afterwards, the evening

began to wind down with a second people

group meeting, reflections and flag lower-

ing, and canteen. Campers then headed

down to council circle where Voices and

Echoes were announced. The bar was set

high for the week to come! After council

circle campers retreated to cabins, teeth

brushing and bed.

Toasty Tuesday

As the siren sounded early in the morning,

campers ran for the showers. After warm

showers campers returned to clean their

cabins and prepare for the day ahead.

Their first camp breakfast consisted of

piggle stick and yogurt. After breakfast

campers headed out for AM Excitement—

yoga—to get energized. Rain was not going

to dampen their spirits. After that, campers

went to their classes which consisted of

archery, ice cream making, outdoor

cooking, feet on fire, and animal

science...just to name a few. Next,

campers went to assembly to sing songs,

hear cabin check, and receive mail. After

lunch, campers welcomed a quick rest

period after being outside all morning,

followed by more fun and afternoon

assembly! Traditionally, Tuesday is

first-year camper night. Voices and Echoes

helped prepare these first-year campers for

the night ahead at council circle. After a

delay in volleyball games, campers

decided to have a dance and karaoke party

before dinner, people group meetings,

evening preparations and reflections.

Canteen went by fast followed by a game of

“Ride that Pony.” Campers then headed off

to council circle for another great night!

Wonderful Wednesday

With an easy-starting morning, campers

dodged puddles on their way to the show-

ers, followed by cabin duties and breakfast.

People groups did a great job performing

their different duties, which included the

dining hall, bathhouse, council circle, and

grounds. AM Excitement focused on dancing,

getting everyone ready for tonight's dance

and dusting off the counselor’s dance

moves. First and second classes flew by

fast, and then everyone was off to AM

Assembly for mail call and to sing songs.

After lunch, campers assembled for people

group and camp pictures—no beauty rest

today. Voices and Echoes went to people

group meetings ready to plan the night’s

party ahead. Free recreation started with

some kayaking, pool time, kan jam and

volleyball. Evening preparations and dinner

went by fast with ideas flying for plans for

the party. The theme this year was “Super

Heroes.” Turtles did Turtle Man and Captain

Toilet. T-birds did Thunder boy. Moon &

Stars did Blank Boy. Bears did Bear Man.

All groups had the camp laughing, and

while the fun was not over yet, we headed

off to the cabins to change and clear cloth-

ing off the line before heading to dance the

night away!

Terrific Thursday

After a slow start and no one running to the

showers, campers enjoyed a breakfast of

delicious cheese omelets. During AM

Excitement counselors tried to get campers

awake and ready for the day ahead by doing

stretches and yoga. Off to classes, campers

where now energized. AM assembly was

filled with songs, personal skits and cabin

check. After lunch campers welcomed a

much-needed, extended rest period as they

were starting to get tired. PM assembly

consisted of a relay race to see which

people group could work together the best.

Afterwards, campers met with their people

groups to go over songs, yells, skits, a

challenge and talent. Volleyball went well

with the Turtles and Moon & Stars ending

with a 2-1 score. Quick showers and off to

dinner the campers went. Another people

meeting, then campers sprayed down with

bug spray in preparation for council circle.

Voices and Echoes switched places with the

Big Feet and had to perform a skit. The

evening progressed with songs, skits, and

yells and people group talents. It was a

quiet walk back to cabins where camper fell

asleep fast.

Fantastic Friday

As campers woke up to music and not a

siren, the last full day of camp had begun.

With lots of fun still ahead, campers did

their morning routine then headed to

breakfast. People group duties and AM

excitement moved slowly, but campers

hurried through their first and second

classes to finish up their projects. AM

assembly was next where campers got their

final packages from loved ones and friends,

and counselors won best bed for the cabin

checks. After lunch, campers made their

way to their cabins for a much-needed,

extended rest period. People group

meetings went by quickly in anticipation of

the Voice and Echo vs Big Feet volleyball

game that was going to be a good one. We

had a rain delay but in the end the Big Feet

came out on top. A turkey dinner with

mashed potatoes, gravy and rolls was every-

one’s favorite meal. Campers then strolled

to the river front and to take pictures.

After the second people group meeting,

everyone was ready to get High Council roll-

ing. As people groups lined up to head

down, emotions started to run high and

tears flowed. After council circle, a

slideshow of the week began and after-

wards, campers soon headed off to bed.

Cabin Check:

Raising & Low-ering the Flag The flag should be raised

briskly and lowered

slowly and ceremonious-

ly. When the flag is

lowered, no part of it

should touch the ground

or any other object. To

store the flag it should be

folded neatly and

ceremoniously. Ordinarily

it should be displayed

only between sunrise

and sunset. It should be

illuminated if displayed at

night. The flag of the

United States of America

is saluted as it is hoisted

and lowered. The salute

is held until the flag is

unsnapped from the

halyard or through the

last note of music,

whichever is the longest.

Flag Facts

The 50 stars on the flag

represent the 50 states

of the United States of

America, and the 13

stripes represent the 13

British colonies that

declared independence

from the Kingdom of

Great Britain, and

became the first states in

the US. When Alaska

and Hawaii became

states 49 and 50,

President Eisenhower

received thousands of

ideas for an updated

flag. Almost all of them

were of a 50-star flag,

including one from

Robert G. Heft, a 17-year

old student at Lancaster

(Ohio) High, who created

the design for a class

project. He was one of

three to submit the

version that was

accepted and remains in

use today. Robert got a

B- on his project.
