Day two has a western theme, with campers and buddies
dressed in their finest western apparel.
We’re dressing in western gear in anticipation of our rodeo, which we’ll
talk about later in this post. The
cowboys were found participating in all sort of activities. One activity, bug
boxes, is a big hit with the campers. They build them, paint them, and the
fill them with the bugs found around camp.

If you get tired of building bug boxes, there’s always the
spin art or the music tent, where many a country ballad can be sung.
Remote control speed boats were added to the camp
activities. The campers quickly got the
hang of it, racing around the pond.

Trips down the zipline are always popular ways to spend
activity time. Safety is always first at our camp.

Tonight we had our first ever camp rodeo. We had barrel racing, steer roping, snake in
the boots, horseshoes and much more. At
our camp, everyone comes out a winner. This year each contest got a sheriff’s
badge to denote their winning style.

It’s time to say, “Happy trials to you, until we meet again”
which for us will be breakfast.
