Its hard to believe that we have already reached the halfway point of our session, but the numerous memories we have already created together stand by as proof of the passing of time. Saco has now returned triumphant from their canoe trip around the Moose River Bow. They brought with them stories, suntans, and an extra canoe! Along their way, one of the trip leaders spotted a green canoe jammed in the rapids. With a little teamwork, they got it clear, and towed it home!
Despite some scattered rain showers throughout the day here, our girls cabins left today with full hearts and full packs for an overnight at Boundary Bald mountain. We hope they return with stories of good times and with the bragging rights of having scaled the mountain that overshadows camp from across Heald Pond.
There are, of course, things happening on camp as well today! With the girls out of camp, they guys are running the show – grilled steaks and beach games are the order of the evening. This is only fair after the girls had their special night on Friday with gourmet finger foods and a spa night. The session is unfolding well, and if the second week is anything like the first, this will be a summer we all remember fondly for a long time.

I am so glad to hear of the many good memories created at MRO. It is important for our teens to have a safe place to go and build health relationships and grow closer to God. Thank you for all your hard work. It is worth it!
