Each team created a personalized flag to take with them to each event and wore matching team colors. The Opening Ceremonies featured a torch and an explanation of how the day would work, and then the teams were sent to test their skills!

With events ranging from archery to Birch Hill style curling, everybody found a strength to bring to their team.  After lunch we took the competition down to the waterfront to cool off, and the teams competed in activities like bellyflop and sandcastle competitions. At the Closing Ceremonies, the scoreboard revealed that France came in third, Narnia came in second, and Soviet Russia took the gold! Such a great S day!

To kick off the night, the dance classes impressed the rest of us with what they’d been working on all session.  Later on, the winners of the coveted Birch Hill Cup were announced. Drumroll please…. Cabin C for the girls and Cabin 7 for the boys!!!

We sang all our Birch Hill favorites, like Baby Shark, Super Lizard, Wisconsin Milk, and of course Crazy Moose.  In a closely contested best two out of three screaming match, the girls narrowly beat out the boys. In the words of our counselor Matt, “the energy was as high as the flames!”
