Back from Summer Camp!


Recommended Posts

I just got back from Summer Camp on Sunday at our brand NEW council camp!! This was the first summer camp that I have been able to get to since taking over as SM and I had a GREAT time! The camp is not totally finished yet so we were the first week and "guinea pigs" for everything, but that was kind of neat...being able to really able to give input into how things could be improved from the start.

 

There was a lot for leaders to do in our brand new Leaders lounge..equipped with AC and Wi-Fi!! ;) We had a "Leader's Challenge" throughout the week which kept us busy..including an "Iron Gut" cookoff (which I won the appetizer category and one of my other leaders took the dessert category) and also a Chess Tournament in which 2 of my leaders were the finalists so we couldn't lose!

 

The boys had a great time..and I was very proud of their progress. They came home with lots of hard earned MB'S and by the end of the week, the boys I had in camp were really coming together as a team and solving problems. The boys on the high adventure side of camp also did well, though the Canoe Quest boys ran into issues because the water levels were too low to do some things. We had an "interesting" evening of escorting a skunk who was in and out of tents, out of our camp site!

 

In a couple of years, the camp is going to be awesome though. We have a full high and low COPE course, the CHASE boats..a climbing tower..the canoe and waterfront programs, in addition to the regular program. Things are still a little confused at times, but still have a lot to offer! I got lots of needed exercise and met lots of wonderful new scouters! What could be better!!
