I just got off the phone with the crew from BBCR-S as they got off a long day on the river and I could hardly hear Ashton because of the laughter in the background, but below are some of the snippets that came through, and you’ll have to ask the kids to expand from here when you see them on Sunday. What is definitely clear is there are a lot of inside group jokes going on that sound like there are elaborate stories behind them!
- The kids are all stoked from the fun day on the boats!
- Only Kyra and Etti were brave (nutty?) enough to take a dip and test the water at Ptarmigan Lake which is above tree line and is still getting fresh snow melt.
- The Double Duckie!
- (told to me in a whisper) The ladies are planning a prank! (it was scheduled for last night, but they didn’t wake up to the alarms on their watches, but it has been rescheduled for tonight!)
- Pirate Wars and Water Guns!
- The boys now exist in a “Mythical Realm” of swords and knights and “elaborate customs” ?
- Lots of swimming and splashing and falling out of boats today, which is always nice on everybody’s noses!
I’m sure there are some more stories from the last couple of days, but that was all I got so far as the Leaders of the Day were anxious to get back to camp and get dinner going at their campsite surrounded by tall peaks, crystal clear creeks and large pines!
They’ll be heading back to our camp tomorrow for some climbing, rappelling, mountain boarding and reflecting back on their week with their new friends, and we should start getting the last few days of pictures uploading by the evening, but the satellite internet connection at the camp is a little slow and has some data caps, so we may not get all of those up until Sunday afternoon, so keep checking pics over the next few days!
