ANIMAL FIND of the WEEK: These finch eggs and nest were found toppled on the ground at the base of a tree. A strong spring wind must have blown the whole thing down - Sad but true. At least we could save them so that campers in our WOW (Wonders of the World-erness) can see them up close and learn more about birds and nests.

Camp in a van...unloading all of BDC, ummmm....YEAHHH!

YEAHHH: Emptying the storage locker and getting everything ready for camp!

YEAHHH: Painting the signs around camp so that everything looks fresh and clean!

YEAHHH: Playing Rock, Paper, Scissors during Staff Training Week!

Hello BDC Family and Friends,

YEAHHH!

We are ready! BDC is ready for kids; Ready for families; Ready for summer; Ready to create with you, the magic of CAMP!

We are so eager to see you on Cape Cod! We hope that you are counting the days and hours until you can come to camp. If your life takes you in other directions this summer, we hope that you are as ready for those experiences as we are here.

When we lean in and fully embrace where we are and what we are doing - no matter where that takes place - we have the unique opportunity to experience what it means to be completely human. If I could make a noise that means all of that, it would sound like: YEAHHH!

See you soon on The Welcome Walk!

CHGS+P,

Milisa 'misa' Galazzi, Director

Brewster Day Camp

PS. Notice what is missing from all of the photos below....YEAHHH, that's right: CAMPERS!
