Welcome Home Southwoods Campers!

Welcome Home Campers

Sunday was a great second session opening day here at Southwoods! We are so happy to have a full house here on camp again and we have wasted no time jumping back into the action!  We celebrated our first evening together as we do every Sunday, with an All-Camp Campfire! We sang along to our favorite wacky camp songs, laughed along to skits performed by the awesome Group Leaders and the MOO Fighters...I mean our Head Counselors, as they ‘mooed’ to a classic camp song, Lean On Me. We cheered on our friends as they received their long awaited 3 year t-shirts, 5 year fleeces, 8 year blankets, and 10 year sweatshirts. We wrapped up a perfect opening day at Southwoods with the first All-Camp Canteen with our friends. It’s great to be back home!


Since opening day, we have marveled at the energy level and how fast everyone has jumped into all of the fun filled activities all around camp. Everyone has been to the Waterfront for some fun in the sun and skill checks in the water. The Activity Fair was held at the Sports Pavilion and showcased all of our highly skilled Activity Specialists. This Activity Fair allowed us to discover all that Southwoods has to offer this summer. There are 60 different activities to chose from, spread all over the 100 acres of camp from pines to the lake, and we cannot wait to explore them all!



This week our Upper Senior Men and Women made the trek to the top of one the Adirondack’s highest peaks, Cascade Mountain and we could not be more proud of them! Yes there is an amazing energy here and you can feel the anticipation in the air all around camp because this Thursday is...DAY OF AWESOME, with a special twist!!  We could not have asked for a better way to get camp started then these first few days, and we look forward to an AMAZING summer with all of you.
