Kids & Scout Camp

The kids loved camp. They took the opportunity to try or help with almost everything. The first week, Amber sat in on the sailing class, and picked up sailing immediately. From there on out, she helped to teach the class, and when needed, she worked with the scouts one on one to help them figure it out. Les and Zak loved the geocaching class, as well as the wood carving class. They also spent a lot of timeout on the lake.

Zak spent an entire day one day digging a big hole in the sand, and filling it with water. Then he would empty out all the water and dig more in the sand. He had a great time, and loved that lots of people stopped to help him!
You know that a little boy is in heaven when he can leave footprints like this wherever he goes!
One night, when we were doing "staff bonding time," two of the boys picked Zak right up to include him. As a mom, I loved that these were two of the boys that my boys looked up to. The staff at camp was amazing with my kids. They were great examples to both the kids and to Brian and me.

Amber had the opportunity several times to participate in Honor Trail. She was trusted with a lot of responsibilities, and she stepped up to all of them. I received many comments from staff and Scout leaders about all of my kids maturity and knowledge.
