Traditionally the last day of summer camp has the least amount of kids, and this year was no different. However, standing high on that picnic table I could not stop thinking of all the kids who had come through our back door this summer. They watched our camp spider eat crickets, learned a dozen or so different camp songs, and had so much fun that many wished camp would never end. Well with nine weeks behind us and school time ahead of us, it had to. The great thing about camp though is it never really goes away. For me it is in the camp songs that are stuck in my head. For others it may be the funny jokes that only friends from camp understand, and for others... The truth is camp is super awesome, and there is only 9 months between now and then. So I better get back to work, and I better see you all at summer camp next summer. So from all of us at Da Vinci Summer Day Camp, good luck at school, and we'll see you at camp...next year.Monday, August 17, 2009

LAST lock-in
No those are not ghosts. Those are teens gathered around our campfire at our last lock-in. I was unable to be at Fridays robotic celebration. However, I did come back for our last lock-in, and of course it was again a great time marshmallows, crazy kids, and staying up til 2:30 am to Play Pathfinder RPG. We had such a great time. I know I will miss it. It is a really neat thing to get to spend time with a group of teenagers, and get to see their personalities shine through at camp. This was a new thing for us, and one I know we will continue. Thanks teens I had a wonderful time!

Week #7- Wild West
Luckily I was able to pull these two cowpokes away from all the fun they were having learning to boot scoot, and boogie. If I couldn't I would not have had a picture for this crazy week of roping riding and playing games that were a lot of fun. I was so glad that our guest speaker Mrs. Shields even brought out her horses Tom & Samsung. Traditionally week 7 at camp is hard because everyone is so tired,but we sidled on up and road through. Thanks for having fun at camp, and thank you cowpokes for making it great . YE-HA!
