​Day 1 at Potomac River Camp (Day 9/90): Groundhogs, Griddles & S’more Confessions!

Camp #2 of STEAM in the PARK 2025 is officially underway—and the Potomac River welcomed us with sunshine, singing birds, and the cutest beavers and groundhogs showing off on the front lawn like it was their job.

Campers jumped right in—learning the ropes of compostable toilets (we’ve got this!), spotting 11+ bird species, and diving into our first group meal. Dinner was classic camp comfort: hamburgers, hotdogs, baked beans, and corn salad—all cooked and shared on the Blackstone with plenty of laughs.

Then came the campfire, where LeAnn and Angie got the flames going like pros. And… I have a confession: I broke my no-s’mores-until-the-last-camp rule. Yep. Day 1. Marshmallow, chocolate, graham cracker bliss. Someone persuasive got to me—and honestly? No regrets. 😄

Huge thanks to our incredible ambassadors, Robyn and Patty, for making the first night so smooth and so special.
