This is me at the start of camp, all doe eyed and bushy tailed - way before the complete and total fatigue set in. Sunday night after camp saw me in bed by 7:45pm.
Late nights, totally exhausted BUT totally worth it in the end.
If you are on a diet, however, you should not , I repeat, should not come to camp with us.
We set up a S'mores building station
Each girl was given a sugar cone and coated the inside with chocolate syrup. A spoonful of chopped up bananas, a spoonful of semi-sweet chocolate chips and marshmallows to top it all off. Wrap it in tinfoil and place near the camp fire to toast. We got rained out so we had to bake them in the oven. In the end it doesn't matter how you make them, they always turn out perfect.
Sickly sweet & delicious
After a spaghetti dinner (complete with garlic bread and caesar salad), we had dirt pudding for dessert. A chocolate pudding cup, oreo cookie crumbs and gummy worms. We added whipped cream - the girls told me that whipped cream has nothing to do with mud, dirt and worms. I told them they were clouds. They thought that was stupid.
It wasn't all food and more food. We also had a theme. Spy camp.
The girls were broken into 4 smaller groups and were told to give their team a name and to come up with a personal alias. They really got into it, some great team names (Agent Girl Guides, Super Secret Spies, Midnight Sneakers, and Ninja Spies) and even cuter aliases (C-Girl, Agent Awesome, Agent ROA).
The girls (and their stuffed animals) went under cover, disguising themselves in hats, scarfs, and sunglasses.
We also set up an obstacle course, this was to test their laser dodging ability.
Some Midnight Fun
Originally we wanted to do glow-in-the-dark bubbles but our night time fun got rained out. As a back up plan we played glow-in-the-dark win, lose, or draw.
We did your typical camping stuff too - arts & crafts, hikes, catching little critters and lots and lots of gimp bracelets
Hiking
Beautiful Rolling Hills - generally rain free, lite on the bugs, and only a few tears. So all and all a great week-end.
Arts & Crafts
We made little sani buckets to pin to their camp hats. Reminds them of the enormous fun they had washing dishes and cleaning toilets. Because who doesn't think that's fun!?!
Lots and lots of gimp - don't want to brag but I am kinda a gimp master
There were frogs, toads, snakes, grasshoppers and anything else they could get their hands on.
