At breakfast, it was announced that the camp would be dining on grilled kebabs for dinner, and ever since there was a buzz in the air. Visiting priest, Fr. Sahag Kaishian, led the morning service and talked about the process of being born and then reborn at baptism. While a beach ball was passed around the sanctuary, Fr. Sahag made correlations between a full and flat beach ball and people that are with and without the spirit of Christ. Seeing a priest ask people to toss around a beach ball while he was giving a sermon might have been a first for many of the campers and counselors.
The morning class schedule was straight forward. The one major change was the absence of Maestro Khoren. Taking his place is Debbie Der Asadourian, a member of the Hye Camp Board of Directors, who will be instructing in the traditional past time of Tovloo. Mail call, as well as Olympics news, created an exciting buzz leading into the afternoon.
Today's sports competition featured the overwhelming power of Fr. Aren's baseball swing, anchored by his brand new athletic sneakers. The Fr. Aren Home Run Contest proved to be a popular success. Winners will be announced tomorrow. Due to rain, the pool was closed, however this gave most campers some extra time to work on their cabin skits, as well as their Olympics team flag, and their cabin poster.
Dinner was everything it was billed to be. Excellent kebabs, hot peppers right off the grill, and homemade Armenian pilaf. Olympics competition followed dinner, including basketball, volleyball, and soccer. After Olympics competition, the senior staff was treated to nice evening off the grounds, celebrating counselor's night out.
After finally arriving home and relieving the CIT's of their duty, it was time for the camp to say goodnight. Congratulations are in order for all of the campers and staff that worked to enable counselor night out. The main highlights of tomorrow's schedule include more Olympic competition, getting down to the semi-finals in some events, and a bonfire and movie night.
