We have taken a lot of video so far this session. One problem:  It is easy to take the footage but something else entirely to edit the films and get them up on our VIMEO page for the entertainment of our families.

Everyone is busy, you see, at making sure your sons  have a healthy and happy summer.  I have been prodding them to the best of my ability and am starting to get through to them.  The boys are mostly adjusted to camp life as we pass the half-way mark of the session.

You can feel in the air that sense of relief and contentment that comes with this knowledge that kids are no longer pining to see you.  As one boy wrote home a couple years ago, “I still think of you but I don’t miss you any more.”  That pretty much sums up the collective mood of the morning, another sunny and dry day.

Anyway, I think we can carve out some time for those video-takers to send me edited clips which I can pass along to you via those microposts that most of you have discovered by  now.  As soon as I get anything, you’ll be the first to know!

About those sunny and dry conditions.  “Dry” stinks as the dust generated by simply a group of boys walking up the camp road lingers in the air and scratchy throats can follow.  I am on it!  As soon as I get this letter off, I am onto setting up sprinklers along the dustiest sections.  Rain is in tomorrow’s forecast and I urge you to pray that we get enough moisture to alleviate the situation.

Sara says her photos to be posted later this morning will feature those cabin cleanup plus meetings of yesterday morning and the Slip-and-slide brouhaha of B Block yesterday afternoon.  It’s all good camp and just about every boy now knows it!
