Thursday, Day Four, Friendship

We were all very tired from the full day yesterday, and woke up to rainy weather outside. But it soon went away as we started the fourth day of cam. Today was a day focused on something that all of us have already done so well here at Tolerance camp: making friends! We met with the teachers in the morning to make a huge poster about what kinds of things make a good friend and why friendship is important.

Everyone needs good friends

When we were done with activities with the teachers we ate a big lunch (meal time is always one of our favorites!) to get ready for our hike to the museum.

Everyone gathered for lunch

When we were done we started the long hike to the museum, which was about eight kilometers away. For most of the hike it was nice and sunny, but then it started to rain....

Walking goes really fast with friends

But then it started raining cats and dogs!

Luckily our coordinators came and picked us up with the cars and took all the campers the rest of the way there. We almost got all the way there with no rain! But at least we made it there safe and warm. The C.R. Jakobson farm was so big and there was so much to see! We went around and saw the main home, the sauna, and the big sawmill and grain mill.

How many can we fit on the log?

There was so much to see at this farm/museum, and then we had a quiz on everything we saw. Everyone payed attention really well!

Lets see what we remember!

Then we went back to camp to spend the rest of the night playing games with the assistants and to have dinner before heading to bed to rest for the next day. Oh yea, and I almost forgot, we got two new helpers at camp! Aalia and Oleg, who are working at the U.S. Embassy for the summer camp to spend a few days with us!
