'Black Friday' event
a 'nature' success
POMFRET — More than 60 children enjoyed the day at the Windham Tolland Outdoor Center on Taft Pond Road on Black Friday. They were supervised by 16 volunteer teen leaders and staff members that work at the camp in the summer. Divided up into groups, they rotated to different activities in the morning, going from hiking, to relay races and active games in the lodge, to outdoor sports and then back in to warm up again while making crafts.
All joined together for lunch and indoor quieter games in the afternoon. This is the first year a game day was offered on Black Friday and gave parents a chance to do some holiday shopping without having to bring reluctant children along with them. Game days are an opportunity for children to check out the camp facilities and meet some of the staff to make them more comfortable with possibly attending either day or overnight camp next summer.
The next camper game day is from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Dec. 30. Call 860-974-1122 to register. Cost is $10 per child and includes lunch and snacks. If there is snow, bring winter gear and a sled.
