Cub Scout Day Camp 2009!
The boys got to go to day camp last week! It was a lot of fun all packed into 3 days! I was told this was the first time in at least 10 years that they had had a 3 day camp. So for three days we woke up earlier than a normal school day…got ready and were out the door by 7 the first day and 7:30 the last two days. Camp was out at Bradshaw Pines Campground, a 30-45 minute drive depending on traffic.
The girls and I stayed for a couple hours the first day so I could take some pictures and see what kinds of fun stuff they had in store! The boys were separated into “dens”. There were 13 dens in all and our pack was separated into 3 different dens. Which made taking pictures of all the boys difficult. (I also blog our packs activities, so I try to cover all the boys.) Easier said than done…
So we had boys in dens 3, 8 and 11…and the only time I managed to catch the two bears in den 8 was when they happened to be in the same place as den 11.
Seth’s den lead the opening and flag ceremony on the first day. They did a great job but were really hard to hear with such a large group.
Here are the boys in their official camp t-shirt…
Seth’s first activity was drama and they read the play about Old King Cole…at least that is what Seth thinks he remembers lol…I missed most of it and only came in when they were about to leave. Seth was the king…but he said he wasn’t much of a king, since he didn’t get to do much. LOL
Corbin first activity was Science at Merlin’s Cave! They got to make Dragon’s Drool! Which Corbin lost before we got home. :/
Seth’s den moved on to cooking next. They made trail mix and cinnamon biscuits. Seth said they were really good!
I caught Corbin’s den on their way back from Archery and had them stop and snapped a picture! They were a great group of boys! They got a lot of compliments on their behavior!
Next up…First Aid…The boys learned how to do CPR!
Seth’s den…at the Closing Ceremony…
So that was part of what happened the first day. The boys did a lot more that I didn’t manage to catch.
They made shields, played Badminton, learned how to shoot bb guns…and much more. I didn’t go up the second day…but day three is coming in the next post!
fun, fun. we go the middle of july and then the boys go to scout cam the week after that.
