With pods long in the rearview mirror, our campers are thrilled to be back into our typical, guided-choice scheduling. From Crescent Lake to the Ballfields, Equestrian Center to the Culinary Studio, Challenge Course to the Arts Studios…we’re all experiencing what we now refer to as The New Awesome! We’ve managed to experience not one — but two — incredible “S” Days! First was the Amazing Race, in which each campus, equipped with their own “passports” traveled from “continent to continent” working together to complete tasks and win prizes! We also had our traditional favorite…The Laurel South Carnival. Games were played, faces were painted, prizes were won, snow cones and cotton candy consumed…and a great time was had by all!

Of course, a Laurel South summer would not be complete without our 4th of July Celebration, culminating in the greatest fireworks show anywhere! With beautiful weather and a sense of fun, we’re back into programming. Tomorrow our CITs and LITs head off on their exhilarating White Water Rafting Trip. For 3 days, they’ll raft the Kennebec River and spend time bonding and reflecting on their time as campers. But there’s so much more to come…from Funtown to Moose Bowl, Theater Shows to Banquet Night…the fun just won’t let up!

As always, it is a beautiful day on the state of Maine today!
