T'was a busy day in the mountain!

Yesterday was a fun and exciting day! Cabins competed in color wars yesterday! Groups were given different color bandanas and a list iof tasks and clues to solve throughout the day. At the end of the day there was a tie between Cabins 5C and 1B!


Cabin 2A practiced their song and decorated their scenery for their performance of "Make a Man out of You" from Mulan.

The girls of 5C spent the morning in Nature learning about different animals and even got to hold a dove!

The counselors haven't quite gotten the technique yet...

And Cabin 1 played water volleyball!

Last night campers and staff had a great time at our Pirate themed dance!

Session 6 Day 1

When the campers arrived on Sunday things went into full blast! We had many different Rotarian groups join us in the fun and helped run the whole show! We kicked it off with a flag ceremony, switched to relay races and then finished with carnival games that included fishing for prizes, a dunk tank, bottle toss, pinata, and so much more.



Thanks for reading! Make sure to check out the photos section for ALL our pictures!

Goodbye Session 5!

Here is what we missed at Paivika... we had closing campfire where cabin groups got up and performed a dance they learned in Fine Arts throughout the week. Campers shared their pinecone wishes and Cabin 2B won clean cabin!



Campers from Session 5A and 5C left yesterday morning.




Staff have a few days off to relax and catch up on some much needed sleep and then we bring on the children!

Be sure to check out the Photo section to see all the pictures from Session 5A, 5B, and 5C!

70's Night!

Yesterday was a full day of programs. Our horses got a break from all the riding during the past week and were able to relax while campers painted them.
Nature went on a walk around camp and campers were able to taste some of the different edible plants, talk about the natural habitat, and made some bird feeders to take home.
And last night we got groovy on the dance floor at our 70's themed dance!

Lake Trip

Hi everyone, sorry for the lack of updates but we're back and ready to catch up on what we've missed!

LAKE TRIP!!!


It's been hot up here so we took a group to the Lake to cool off in the water for the day while others stayed at camp and enjoyed a calm and relaxing afternoon.

I will have a nice big post tomorrow so be sure to check back tomorrow morning to see pictures from the dance, game show night, and other activities!

Bye Bye to 5B

Session 5 this year was designed in 3 sections. A long 9 day session (5A), a 4 day session at the beginning (5B), and a 3 day session at the end (5C). Confused yet? So are we... but anyway, today session 5B heads home. In honor of their leaving we had a mini closing camp fire last night and did pinecone wishes for the 12 campers heading out. Cabin groups were given a random scene, and had to make up a skit in their groups to perform at campfire. We got to see a behind the scenes look at a day in McDonalds, what happens when Brittany meets Lady Gaga, a night in the life of a counselor, Reality Paivika, and many more exciting skits. Campers and counselors did a great job coming up with funny and fantastic skits!



Farewell 5B! We hope to see you again next year!
