Week 2, 2006
| Paul
Revere and the Redcoats, a.k.a. Nicolet riding staff, are
the traditional Independence Day wake-up for all the campers
and staff. The Advanced Campers bang pots and pans as a warning
that the Redcoats are coming! Jeremy added a new twist this
summer with his awesome Sherman Tank complete with siren,
bull horn, and smoke effects. All this commotion led to a
fun and super busy day beginning with the bell ringing ceremony
and cabin competitions in the morning. This year each cabin
drew the name of a state in the USA and decorated the front
of their cabin accordingly.
Everyone was amazing! The afternoon was exciting with the
traditional red, white, and blue team field games, followed
by an All Camp Dip (ACD), a BBQ supper, and a wonderful and
fun evening spent at Red Arrow Camp for a barn dance and fireworks.
Needless to say, we all slept extremely well that evening! |

in a super festive mood starting with breakfast. The Advanced
Campers' rendition of "Yankee Doodle" complete
with their pots and pans gets everyone awake for the big
day. |
