A quick inventory of both Sara’s and my photo albums reveals at least 19 different Bow & Arrow activities from yesterday. Below is the list plus some (light) commentary: Paddleboard (how boys keep their balance is beyond my comprehension) Kayak (we have user-friendly craft that don’t tip over, but they do crash into one … Read more
That’s been pretty much my attitude in the past couple of days as we hit the homestretch of the 2022 camp season. The Tagged Photo report file indicates that every camper has been in his decent share of pix so I don’t bother hustling after this one or that one any longer. I’ve put … Read more
I was also a passenger, along with Sara, on the Ski Nautique yesterday during Junior Waterfront clinic. There have been scores of successful outcomes at the new Kingswood activity of wake surfing and I wanted to catch a glimpse of some of the youngest boys at camp, to verify the popularity of this sport. I … Read more
When Jaden Uram, a most accomplished Varsity Club hiker, returned from that venture on Webster Slide Mountain, he reported that “the hike was a bit harder than I remembered.” The heat and humidity had everything to do with it, I assured him and everyone else. A couple of days in the soup does tend … Read more
I did very little cropping of my photos of yesterday so that you could take in the full expanse of the absolutely perfection we were blessed with along the shores of Mother Tarleton. Heaven itself cannot be much better. In the last of my series of photos you can see Mike Wiff with his … Read more
Tuesday, late in the day, Sara informed me she had taken no photos due to toddler issues. I hopped on it and took an album’s worth of evening photos featuring after-dinner sponsorships and Closure at the stage area. In the afternoon we had a very short downburst of rain, followed by not only a … Read more
Someone wrote that on the whiteboard in Buzz City and I saw no reason to contradict the thought. My large volume of photos this morning attempts to satisfy two items on my checklist – to feature some boys who have escaped (dodged, perhaps) my lens so far this session. We actually have an app … Read more
Last night after dinner we played Stealth – capture-the-flag in the woods. 90% of the boys elected to participate in this relatively pointless game. Essentially they sleuth about the forest in search of a bright orange life jacket that serves as the flag. Attempting to prohibit them from “capturing” the flag are a small band … Read more
For many of you, today is your first Sunday morning on the Kingswood squad and you’ll be delighted to see all the photos I just took moments ago. I took more pictures than breaths, causing more than one youngster to inquire about my mental status. “Your parents are refreshing their feeds every five minutes,” … Read more
Camp is all about making meaningful friendships, that two-way street where one gives as well as takes. More on this inestimable camp value tomorrow, when we will ask the boys to gather into groups and ponder the idea. But, for now, you can see budding friendships at every turn. I was at the chess … Read more
