 The kitchen served up another delicious Sunday dinner of roast beef, peas, and baked potatoes.  Our afternoon was hot and humid, and the Water Carnival was the perfect all camp activity.  Campers frolicked in the water all afternoon as they earned points for the Crimson and Grey teams.
-In [[Tree Talk]] tonight we discussed some [[history]] of Birch Rock and the importance of friendship.  Many campers contributed to a wonderful discussion down at the Rock.

 The heat was intense! We reached 98 deg. up here in the woods Monday afternoon, and the only thing we could do was to go swimming. Two separate groups of guys went out in search of the classic Maine swimming hole, while the rest of us stayed at camp and played in the lake and stayed in the shade. With the sprinklers spraying and the water being consumed at a record setting rate, we survived until the sun went down behind some late day clouds.

 This morning Winona (an all boys camp in Bridgton) sent over a crew of young boys to play our Bobcats in a game of Kickball.  Although the Winona team won the game, our boys said they had a great time and would love to play again.
 ====Friday, July 6th====
-It was a beautiful day for fun and badge work.  We had a number of badges earned, including another [[Long Distance Swim]]s.  Pearson Jenks swam his [[Loon]] across the width of the lake and back.  He's already starting to talk about the [[Seal]] swim.

 All three of our trips returned safely and successfully. All had wonderful weather and good times out in the wilderness of Maine and New Hampshire.

 This evening will be our second Tree Talk of the summer, which will be led by Director Deering and Joshua Pincus.  The community will be discussing Friendship and "Helping the Other Fellow."

-We started the third week in high gear today. [[Lower camp]] traveled down to the 'big city' to catch a Sea Dog's baseball game which the dogs won 14-5. The weather was beautiful and everyone enjoyed a wonderful nine innings. While the youngsters were off on their adventure the older boys stayed in camp to prepare for this weeks trips and to put in some time working on badges.

 By the afternoon we had the whole camp back together again, but the weather turned bad with the most intense thunderstorms and rain that we've had this summer. Over two inches of rain fell in just over and hour while we were all hunkered down in our cabins waiting out the thunder and lightening.
 The wet weather lead to another installment of the BRC cinema. The older boys watched the newly released X-men, while the younger boys saw Dr. Doolittle. Though the weather tried to stop us, we all had a great start to the third week.
 ====Tuesday, July 10th====
 When we woke up this morning the rain had just left. As the wet weather left camp Runoia, our sister camp, arrived. Forty of their older girls came over for the day to play games, take a swim, and meet some of the handsome brutes of Upper camp.

 All the boys went through testing day on the waterfront and were split into their respective groups for instructional swim.  We have some great swimmers who will soon be challenging themselves in Birch Rock's long distance swim program.
-This summer's inaugural [[evening activity]] was [[quorum]].  The game gave us time to play as a complete camp before listening to the loons' melody put us to sleep.

 And they're off!  The boys of [[Eagle's Nest]] left on the first trip of the season for Birch Rock.  These fine young men will be hiking [[Tumbledown Mountain]], located in the Weld Region of Maine.  The boys will climb to the top and find a small pond where they can take a nice dip in the cool waters.  Considering how hot it is here today, they will probably spend a lot of time swimming before returning to base camp for the evening.  We will look forward to their return tomorrow.

 Friday evening, the young men of Upper Camp (Eagles Nest, Buzzards Roost, [[Owl's Perch]], and [[Pete's Palace]]) took a journey to the [[Arcadia Garden Party]].  Arcadia is a beautiful all-girls camp located in Casco, ME.  There were three or four other boys camps there, but the boys of BRC stole the show.
 While the older boys were off romancing the local ladies, the younger campers tried to play as many different evening activities as they could. They managed to squeeze in Quorum, [[Orb]], Kick Ball, and Ultimate Frisbee, before the sun set and everybody headed to a good night's rest.
 ====Saturday, July 7th====
 It was a regular day of activities at the Rock.  We're starting to see more and more field badges earned everyday.  Lacrosse, Volleyball, Baseball, and Archery are currently the most popular activities on campus but I'm sure that will change.

-The Pete's Palace crew went out on a trail blaze.  These eight young gentlemen set out on a quest to blaze a new trail at the Overset Pond Satellite Campus in Greenwood, ME.  The boys worked hard sawing and hacking through logs and underbrush.  They have since decided to name the trail Pete's Path, in recognition of [[Pete Haas]] '70s - S80s from which Pete's Palace got its name.

 Happy Independence Day!  In the morning, we celebrated the 4th of July by joining the parade in Waterford.  The boys marched with banners, flags, Randy's homemade cookies and smiles through the historical town of Waterford.  The boys sang BRC songs with cheers while handing out cookies to the local residents.  It was a great parade and a good time was had by all!
