Summer camp 2023, kids are working together much better after a slightly rough start to the week. The camp lost power on Day 2 due to a tree falling down outside of camp. This provided a unique camping experience of no power and changes to the overall schedule for most of the day.

Happy to report that power was restored last evening just in time for a thunderstorm to catch us all in the dinning hall without our rain gear. Perhaps a learning opportunity to make sure that we keep our rain gear with us at all times. Something about being prepared?

Troop is working on marching in and out of formation for breakfast and before dinner, and sound pretty good while ‘challenging’ other troops with ‘We got spirit, yes we do, we got spirit, how about you?”.

More to come as time permits…

Hey all. everything going well at camp. Yesterday we had a great lunch at the park. last good meal until Thur’s diner. Got checked in around 1 with no issues. 3 of the kids had to do the swim test from our visiting troop. The weather is hot as expected as well as the food is not that great. Had a big thunderstorm come in around dinner. Had a campfire in the dining hall and then went to the amphitheater to watch fireworks and a flag retirement ceremony. The kids are getting along great and having fun. Jose got up early this morning to do his first leg of the mile swim. Running around trying to get photos but not many action shots yet. Will send another update tomorrow.
