| Buddies great the campers |
Finally, the event we long anticipated is here. Our campers arrived this morning amongst the welcoming cheers and clapping of their counselors and the staff. With the opening of bus doors began our Royal Family Kids’ Camp 2007. Once the campers and counselors find one another, they begin sorting through the scramble of luggage. As they walk to the lodge to unpack their clothes and other belongings, you can hear the returning campers telling the new campers about the fun that waits. It’s not long before you can hear the whir of the zip line as the campers fly down it, and the laughter around the campus as they explore the crafts and woodworking stations.
The pond is always a big draw. At snack time, one of the boys told me he was only interested in catching one type of dragonfly, “The black and white ones.” Other less discerning dragonfly catchers proudly reported on the number of dragonflies they’ve caught.
As you can imagine, hard work like dragonfly catching and bug box building can make you very hot. It’s not a surprise that a dip in the lake before dinner was well received.
Speaking of dinner, I wonder what’s on the menu.

Thanks for doing this. It's cool to 'come to camp' and get a taste of what is going on. The blowfish room looks pretty neat. Do they glow in the dark? Have a great rest of the week. My prayers are with you.
