After moving into COSMOS, campers enjoyed their first dinner and engaged in outdoor activities, such as volleyball, football, and spike ball. COSMOS campers participated in the first Large Scale Activity (LSP) hosted by the RAs called “Welcome Avatar”, which included bracelet making, pet rock painting, paper airplane competition, speed friending, darts, and balloon toss.

First full day of COSMOS! Today is also marked as the first day of classes for the students. Campers had time after class to get to know their peers in their clusters and started to prepare a skit for the annual COSMOlympics. After cluster time was over, a variety of nightly activities were hosted by the RAs including painting, letter writing, and beach themed cookie decorating.
