Opening day!  What a great way to start the summer.  Old friends and new friends joined an incredible staff for the beginning of an exciting summer.  After a great lunch prepared by Randy and his crew, we headed up the hill for some 'new' games and a chance to get to know each other.  The games were followed by a very refreshing general swim and an extended rest period.  The day culminated in our introductions, held inside because of threatening weather.  We all will go to sleep early tonight so we are well rested for a beautiful and exciting first full day of activities.
