Last Day Camp Hoorah

Colin attended his last Cub Scout day camp as a second year Webelo this summer. It's always fun to be big man on campus. His buddies PJ, Luke & Kyle were there too. Christine signed up to volunteer for two days this time, but was assigned to being a walking leader. This was much easier than being a station leader. The first few days were cool & cloudy, which was much appreciated. Friday was a bit too warm to be out on a dusty, grassy field with a bunch of 9 & 10 year olds. "Stop playing in the dirt, please!" she repeated about 1,000 times.

The boys made some cool things at camp. At the wood working station, they made a candy dispenser and a marble maze contraption. They also made pillows, tie-dye backpacks, firestarters and mini camp stoves, checking off quite a bit for the craftsman requirement.

Outdoor cooking was a favorite among the scouts. One day they made popcorn using only tinfoil and oil. Some of it turned out. However, most of the boys burnt the kernals. More successful were the mini crescent roll hot dogs.

Archery and BB Guns were definiately the most popular. They only got one turn at each station, but luckily they got to do them each day. Friday was different and fun. The overall theme for camp was circus, so the last day we got to do a bunch of carnival activities such as juggling, balloon making, bouncy toys, snow cones and cotton candy. Good times!
