A Day of Swimming in Brewster for New England Teen Trekkers


Today we woke up for our rest day in Brewster. We were also able to sleep in: for some that meant 6am and for others that meant 10am.  The humidity forced us out of our tents, but to enjoy a granola and yogurt breakfast.  David willingly and graciously took the laundry to the nearest laundromat while we got ready for a day of swimming.  We went to the pond on the campsite, and “cliff jumped” off of a one foot rock.  After cooling down, we hopped on our bikes to a close lunch spot where we relished clam rolls and fish sandwiches.  After lunch we all took another quick dip at low tide and read on the sand bars.  We made our plan for a Pad Thai dinner, and ordered the food we needed via InstaCart.  After arriving back at camp, we returned to the pond for our last swim of the day before cooking dinner and preparing for the rain we’ll encounter later tonight.  After eating and cleaning, we roasted bananas with chocolate and marshmallows over the fire.
