EARLIES Day 1
Written by Franny P; Social Media Coordinator
Day 1 of EARLIES — WOOHOO!
What a day! The staff woke up bright and early to prepare for the arrival of our amazing campers. We scrubbed, cleaned, loaded up the boats, and stocked up on tons and tons of food to fuel the fun for the weeks ahead!
Our very first students to arrive were Paulina, Atley, Hadley, and Tommy. They quickly got the lay of the land and even caught a glimpse of some behind-the-scenes action as the staff wrapped up final prep.
At 4:30, our first big group rolled in via taxi, about 24 students in total! They were divided among our fleet of boats: Grand Blue, Nohea Holokal, Judge’s Chambers, Moet, Beau Budd, and FLX.
After all the excitement of welcoming the first group, the fun kept going! I played a lively game of Spoons on the top deck of Nohea Holokal with Claire, Colt, Grant, and Asher, then later had a chill round of Go Fish with Ryder on Grand Blue. All of the students had time to shower, settle into their cabins, enjoy a delicious dinner brought in from town, and gather around the tables on their boats to chat, play games, and start building new friendships.
Two more waves of students arrived at 5:30 and 7:30, and they jumped right into the same routine; getting settled, meeting their crewmates, and diving into the EARLIES energy.
The vibe was incredible all around! Everyone was full of excitement to meet one another and find out where their new friends are from. I wish I could name every single camper, but one thing’s clear: our EARLIES session is off to an amazing start with a fantastic crew.
A lot is planned for tomorrow — stay tuned!
