4-H Camp: Sun, Mosquitoes, and 209 People Having Fun

We made it back from Holiday Lake with all of our luggage, supplies, and campers! We had a successful week, and although we had some rain interrupt some of our afternoon activities, we had fun! Indoor campfire was not quite the same as having campfire outside, but we made sure the campers had as much time as possible outdoors! They played GauGau Ball, sand volleyball, 4 square, and many other games during free recreation times, and some of our evening activities included a scavenger hunt, a late night swim party (complete with glowsticks), and a Science Show!
There were classes to fit anyone's interests from canoeing to making things out of duct tape! Every morning was filled with fun class activities! Everyone had a good time!
The food at camp wasn't bad this year. Although the menu doesn't change very much from year to year, the campers get enough to eat and there is always salad bar and peanut butter and jelly bar (it's actually soy butter, but basically tastes the same as peanut butter) if someone would rather eat that. We had tacos, cafeteria square pizza, spaghetti, hot dogs, hamburgers, and chicken tenders just to list a few of the meals...Not bad for camp food! It got us through the day/night, but I wasn't upset to come home and make some of my own food...:)
I only had about 18 mosquitoes by the end of the week and after a 4 hour nap Friday, I was a little more functional and I was good to go! I had only had about 20(+/-) hours of sleep the whole camp week.
Overall, camp went by pretty smoothly and was one of the least hot, least stressful years I've had ever! I hope everyone else had just as much fun as I did! :)

The whole camp group!
