Week 4!

Wild West week is going very well!
We started Monday off with a Gold Rush where campers searched the camp for gold by flashlight and tried to hide from bandits lurking within the camp. Creekside ended up winning with finding the most gold.

Today we had a water fight to cool down.

Tonights all camp is the Trailblazers performance. Yee haw!

Sunday was a day of reflection and friendship with our two week units as everyone participated in this years scouts own ceremony.

Weekend fun!

This weekend we have the two weekers hanging out with us!
Our all camp for Friday night was a Dutch auction!
What is that?!
Campers were asked to bring as many random things to the lodge as long as all the belongings fit into a pillow case or a backpack.
Then the auctioneer called for things such as a blue flashlight for 3 points, pine cone for 4 points, polka dot socks for 2 points and so on. 

Our lovely judges, our CIT/WIT2's and AD staff

What's in store for the rest of the weekend?
We are having an around the world all camp on Saturday where all the units will get the chance to taste foods from around  the world, play international games, and create their own instruments!
Trailblazers will also be participating in their half day trail rides.
The adventures continue!
