Day Two- Royal Family KIDS Boise Camp Regatta

 

It was a great day for riding the zip line. The sun shown brightly above us and a light cool breeze blew across the camp.  The campers tried many poses as they flew down the line, each with a name crafted by the rider. We had the usual Iron Man and Spiderman poses.   One of the more unique poses was named the hanging deer.



In some instances the face paint added to the whole zip line experience making it easier to figure out which poses were which. 

You’ll see to the right that Spiderman is getting his face painted just prior to heading down the zip line.

 

 


We had what  I think might be the first annual Royal Family KIDS Boise camp regatta.  Some of the campers built boats during their time in the woodshop and they wanted to  test them on the high seas.



Campers built a series of canals, locks and dams that spanned much of the sand on the lake beach.


The campers brought water from the lake in their sand pails, they poured the water in the canal, and the water washed the boats through the canals.  They also test the water out in the lake swimming area. The campers were pleased that al of their crafts were watertight. 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have a group of talented musicians that form a band just for our camp. This year they entitled their band the Shepherds’ Band.

During their concert, we learned the all important answer to the question, “What does the sheep say?” For those of you who are unsure of the answer, it is “Ba ba, ba, ba, ba ba baaaa.”  The campers had a great time singing and dancing to their music. Thanks Shepherds’ Band for taking time out to come and minister to our campers.  Day Three has something special in store.  It is a secret that we will share tomorrow.
