Hello Everyone and Happy Halloween!
The morning classes today went well, the kids have gotten the hang of the days routine.
After lunch, there is a lot of cabins this afternoon that will be going tubing, horseback riding or going to get ice cream.
Since today is Halloween here at Camp Jorn, and everyone is excited for the Haunted Trail that will happen after The Sock Hop tonight!
Chippewa and Kickapoo will both make it back from their day trips just in time for this evening’s activities, but Iroquois will be leaving today on their overnight trip and will get back tomorrow.
Hello Everyone,
We are full of love today because, it is Valentine’s Day here at Camp Jorn. This means Warm Fuzzies (a nice note given to another person) are being passed around all over camp!
Penny is making hamburgers and veggie burgers for lunch. Sioux, Menominee and White Water Rafting are leaving for their overnight trip this afternoon. While the rest of camp will be participating in the Bean Carnival! The Bean Carnival is essentially a carnival where each cabin comes up with and runs a booth, and other campers pay with beans to participate in the activities.
The kids and staff always have a great time with the carnival!
Look out for more pictures!
