Rainy Days

Tennessee has been in a drought this summer, so for the unfortunate campers of second month, it's been raining steadily since their arrival 48 hours ago. However, from a former campers view, rainy days are welcoming! It means sleeping in later, alternative activities, music, and skits! What a great opportunity to use the costume room! Do you have a costume room or trunk at home? Do you have old costumes or wacky clothing that would be better off in Monterey than at Goodwill? Mail them here during camp (2636 Muddy Pond Rd., Monterey, TN 38574).

What do you remember about rainy days at camp? Do you remember how the lake looked with all the rain drops falling at a steady pace? Do you remember the sound of the rain on the tin roof? Remember trying to duck into the cabin without all the wet branches getting you wetter or the rain from the roof saturating your hair and back? There was protection in the woods but you were a target on the Fun Field if you didn't have a raincoat. Rain at Camp Monterey is like no other. It's inviting, clean, refreshing and fun to play in. Just remember when you wear flip flops on a rainy day, the leaves flip right up onto the backs of your legs and your toes can get muddy. But that also means that life is good and you're making life long memories.

The memories of Monterey will never be broken. It lives on in campers who cherish her name. So keep all your memories of camp days at Monterey, for they will bring you joy and cheer through all the years.
