Thanks to all of our campers for an amazing first session at camp.  We had awesome weather, great staff and many fun times had by all.  We wish our first session camp families a safe and rewarding summer and we hope to see you again next year.  The first session camp video will be posted later this week.

            Today, 5 of our staff members celebrated 10 years at camp. Congratulations to Leah Hayes, Laura Cooley, Matt Teague, Andrea McNulty and Laura Turcotte on 50 great summers at camp!

            After a talent-filled and celebrity studded night, the winner of Arrowhead Idol was crowned! 11 year-old Cameron awed the crowd with his unique animated-robot style of dancing. Congratulations to Cameron and all of the other contestants! Tonight is going to be an eventful end to the session, with celebrations including the banquet and dance. 

Session 1B is running smoothly as campers continue to enjoy the amazing weather! Last night, campers played several Hunger Games themed programs, including a camp favourite "Commando" in which the campers disguised themselves and tried to crawl up the forest without being spotted by the staff. As the Arrowhead Idol buzz continues to build, tonight is the night that the winner will be announced. Stay tuned for updates!

Final prep and rehearsals are taking place for the big event.  The 2012 Arrowhead Idol winner will be announced tomorrow!

            Session 1B is going by quickly as Arrowhead Idol is soon approaching. This Thursday, campers will get the oppurtunity to showcase their wide range of talents and hobbies in front of the entire camp. Auditions are underway and the talent that we’re seeing is very impressive! Campers are still having fun in the sun and enjoying all the activities and programs. Tonight? A camp favourite… Casino Night!

            Yesterday, the Avengers themed All Day Program was a huge success! Campers were divided onto different super-hero teams: Iron-Man, Black Widow, Thor, Hawk-Eye and Captain America. At the end of the day Thor was victorious and able to rescue the Incredible Hulk from the evil Loki. This morning, the first two canoe trips of the session ventured into Algonquin Park as we await the arrival of 39 new campers for session 1B!

            Yesterday, under the guidance of our amazing music director Taylor Bradshaw, campers got the chance to work on their beginner guitar levels. They learned two songs and will continue to expand their skills as the session progresses. Today, we look forward to another hot day at camp, so campers and staff alike will be enjoying the waterfront. We will also be holding auditions for our talent show, Arrowhead Idol, that will take place on next week. Friday night means that it is the dance so the camp is gearing up for a fun evening!

            As the session is moving by quickly, campers and staff are having a great time on activities. From playing on the new waterfront jungle gym to sailing the Lake of Bays, the good times are endless. Tonight, campers will get the oppurtunity to go down in camp history by participating in our nightly program "Arrowhead's Book of Records!"

            The first day of the session was great. After the campers met their cabin mates, we played a bunch of orientation games and then had spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. After dinner we played a camp-wide game of space-themed capture the flag followed by a campfire. In celebration of Canada day, we ended the night with a firework show.

            We can't wait to see what the rest of the session holds!
