Camp Geiger - July 5th 7:00am



"Monday, Monday, so good to me...it was all I hoped it would be." - Neil Diamond

Sunday night ended on a good note. The rain stopped about 9:45, and the fireworks commenced all over the little corner of Missouri and Kansas where we were. After dinner most everyone retired to their tents as the rain had limited any other plans. Which brings us to our feature of the day.
The Canvas Tents

What makes Camp Geiger different from our other campouts throughout the year is that we do not need to bring our own tents. You may have seen these in war movies and such, and you might think you wouldn't want to stay in one, being that it's not sealed up like the tents you can by at the story. But these tents are great.
Plenty of room for two boys and their equipment, and best of all, when they got back to the campsite in a downpour, mostly nice dry floors and dry sleeping bags. For the week that they're here, it does become a home sweet home.

The night was dry thankfully, and everyone slept restfully. (Especially many of the adults, who could be heard sleeping restfully). We began to wake up between 6 and 6:30, the kids wishing desperately for a few more minutes of sleep and the adults wishing desperately for some coffee. at 7:30 it was time to breakfast and everyone fell into the excellent routine that is established at the dining hall. It's truly a well oiled machine. All the boys begin their regular routines today. Merit badge classes and Trail to First Class start at 9am, then we break for lunch, and continue merit badge classes through 5pm. The boys can feel free to take in free swim at the pool at that time, or just relax back at camp.

Breakfast - French Toast sticks, link sausage, cold cereal, yogurt, fresh fruit, milk, and juice.
Weather - This morning, on and off rain, 74 degrees.
