An hour later, the pounding of the rain finally starts to ease.
You're pretty sure that the campers need to get some time running around outside or they'll be even more antsy and unhappy than they were before. Plus, they're really messy. You'd better hose them off before they turn the whole cabin sticky with melted popsicle goo.
As soon as five minutes pass without any more raindrops, you give the signal. The kids spill out of the cabin door and down the steps, not even caring that the ground is still muddy as they splash out toward the field next to the dining hall. You grab the hose and call, "Time to get cleaned off!"
"Yay!" Dylan shouts. "It's gonna be like going through the sprinkler!"
Even though it's barely stopped raining, the sun is already getting warm again, and the kids are having a blast running around. They don't even need an organized activity or game; the time outside is enough.
