It's Nature Lesson Day

Mary Moonwalker is a nature expert and guest of the camp. She explains the importance of holding still and being very quiet to observe animals in their natural habitat. She shows the girls some different types of animals they might find in the woods.

She chats with campers.

There were eager questions from the girls.



Sweet dreams, campers



I think I hear someone walking out there.

What do you think it is?


Doc does a bed check.



Goodnight, campers.

Here come the campers

All the campers had to take off their clothes to be fitted for their uniforms. Clever Hitty Colleen grabbed a sheet to cover up the fact that she had arrived without any unders, then stood there as if wearing a sheet were the most natural thing in the world. Hitty Riley wasn't so quick.


Sure enough, someone noticed and pointed out to the rest that the only thing between Hitty Riley and the whole world was her name tag!! Of course everyone looked, and that embarrassed poor Riley who just stood there wondering, "Mom, what were you thinking?"

Quite used to Hitty Mom's who don't pay close attention to what their campers have packed or not packed, Miss Prim secured unders for Colleen and Riley. Then she let Riley be the first to get fitted.


Now turn around and I'll tie the sash. Perfect!



Meet our first camper, Michelle Kirby's Hitty Riley.

Family reunion


While there are many campers, these four asked to pose for a family photo. That's Hitty Rose back left, Hitty Lisa back right, Hitty Berdie front left, and Baby Berdie (Baby B) front right. Hitty Rose, who went missing for several weeks, was recently reunited with older sister Berdie and younger sister, Baby B. They came from Flintstone, MD to help hunt for her, which makes them all cousins to Hitty Lisa who lives with Miss Linda in MD where the Hittys Berdie used to live. It was Baby B, accompanied by small Person Katy-Lyn, who finally spotted Hitty Rose hiding beneath a buffet waaaaay at the back and folded in half, and helped to bring her back to her small Person Merrin. Here they all are, reunited at Camp Wanna Do.
