Just for you, who are wondering at what exactly did Sigma Challenge involved, and what were your kids doing during the second part of the day. They did not cry for you. Sorry...  We kept them too busy. And here is a gilmpse with exactly what:

Upon arriving at the Silver Lake Campsite, the campers had a few minutes to get to know each other and the counselors, and say hello to friends from previous years.
