Water Day!

On Friday the weather was beautiful and the sun was shining strong, what a great day for water games such as drip drip drop, water gun battles, the dunk tank,and pool activities! 





For evening program the lodgers and staff were assigned to build a boat out of various materials found all over camp that would be raced later on that night for the Regatta program! What a blast!!

First lodge was a great success!

It was hard to say goodbye to our first lodge lodgers, but we did it with smiles on our faces and with new friendships made.

On the final Wednesday of the lodge we did our bi-weekly Walk & Roll-A-Thon followed by a ritual production that was put on by the lodgers who signed up to be in theatre program where they acted out the movie "hairspray". With a full audience including staff, lodgers, and a few board members, the show was a hit!

Great first week of Belwood Lodge!

It's been a great first week here at Belwood Lodge and Camp with the sun shining accompanied by smiling lodgers!

On Thursday Belwood enjoyed a Carnival themed day full of exciting activities such as face painting, parachute games, watching one of the staff members dressed up as a clown juggling while riding a unicycle, another staff member walked around on stilts, the bouncer, and one of the lodgers all time favourites where they get to dunk their counselors in the dunk tank!

Yesterday night was our first camping night of the summer where the lodgers who signed up enjoyed an evening of camp stories around a fire, games, eating marshmellows, smores, and hot dogs, followed by a night stay in our teepees! Yesterday night was fun for the boys, tonight it's girls night!

Great start to the 68th season!

Wow! It's been a great start to the 2014 season with summer programs ready to go (including our new science program) and excited lodgers ready for some summer fun!

Last night we had our first Air Bands competition where the different cabins competed by jamming out to some of their favourite songs!

Today was the first outtrip of the summer where the lodgers and staff went to Guelph Riverside Park! They had a wonderful time playing on the playground, riding the train and merry-go-round, and eating icecream!
