Tent Day Trip to Popham Beach
July 13, 2009

After a rainy start to the summer it was a treat to have a beautiful sunny day spent playing on the beach! We arrived to a low tide, which meant plenty of time for a walk out to Fox Island for some exploring. Campers scrambled over rocks, explored tide pools, and watched Cormorants fly by. The waves were the perfect size for body surfing, and the waterfront was in full swing all day. Campers spread down the beach to play soccer, Frisbee, and lacrosse with counselors. Three large-scale sand forts were built complete with moats, drawbridges, and driftwood accents. After a full day of fun in the sun, we piled our shovels, games, and bodies back onto the bus to head home to Chewonki. Campers were overheard saying the whole way home how great a day they had playing in the sand under a clear blue sky. What a fantastic way to wrap up our last tent day of Session I.
