As campers awoke this morning, there was something different in the air. By different, I mean a thick, cool haze of fog which perfectly orchestrated how we as a staff feel about having to let these campers go tomorrow. However, we know you, friends and family of our campers, are anxiously awaiting to see their smiling faces again and hear all the stories, so we will oblige, that is, until summer 2023!

Following traditional routine, campers spent the day beginning with a delicious breakfast, a hearty morning yell, and a joyous chapel service. Next up came a commendable cabin clean-up, various mid-morning activities, and a delectable lunch. As many of you know, the fight for not only the banner has been tight, but for the Golden Plunger as well. Coming down to two highly respectable cabins, one in senior camp, Greybeard, and one in junior camp (my personal favorite), Hawksbill. The scores ended up coming down to a 0.25 difference in a possible overall score of 120 points from 1st session, but only one cabin could reign supreme and claim the glory that is the Golden Plunger. The Golden Plunger of session 1 2022 went to… HAWKSBILL!!!!

Post lunch, campers were surprised to not only find themselves heading to rest hour, but a rest hour dedicated to, every child’s favorite activity: PACKING!! Now now, we did not let them go at it alone as each cabin’s counselors and cabin moms assisted in this most exciting activity, making sure each item of clothing was folded and properly placed. Afterwards, campers were rewarded for all their hard work with an hour of free time to finish up bars before tonight’s final campfire.

Outside of camp we had four separate trips go out today! William E, William F, William S, George D, Bubba L, and Drew S went fly fishing. Climbing today was Hunter P, Baylor P, Baine B, Patrick F, Archer R, Nicholas R, and Lewis J. We also had two groups head out on the water today with Ryker R, Henry O, and Banks P kayaking; and Jack V, Duma M, Logan W, Cole G, Wright G, Lawson M, Jeremias D, Gus C, and Bronson P white water rafting!

Before a scrumptious dinner of spaghetti with brownies following for dessert, one final game of sock war was played between tribes for the final point contributing to the fight for the banner which will be announced tomorrow at closing ceremony. During final campfire this evening, we celebrated so many amazing accomplishments from all our campers including bars, promotions, and commendations. Two of our Greybeard campers, Lucas O and Garrett S, had the incredible honor of being named Little Chief, the highest honor achievable at Timberlake!

We at Camp Timberlake are so excited to welcome friends and family into our gates tomorrow to share in celebration of all our campers! We are tremendously proud of all their growth this summer and cannot wait to have them back in 2023!
