Photos from a typical week at camp
Camp starts every day with great songs at Singing Tree...it is a great
way to get us fired up for the day!
We then raise the flag and say the pledge of allegiance.
 
Depending on the day we may head out to Bloody Gorge, make
tie die shirts, have pudding contests, go on a nature hike,
or explore Spy Run Creek...check out these photos of our
day...doesn't it look like MUDDY FUN????
 
I need to remind mom that I should wear old clothes and shoes for the week
as I will be having too much FUN to worry about staying clean!!
After this it is time to hit the trail. That means a quick trip to the Long House to
gather up the supplies that we all need, a restroom break and a final check before
we head out.
On Friday's the 11 year olds have an opportunity to earn their dog tags so that
means no talking for them (from the time the flag is raised in the morning until
it is lowered in the afternoon) and they must build their own camp fire and cook
their own food...all without talking to their fellow tribe mates! It is quite fun to
watch and many of the 9 & 10 year olds...wish just for a day...they were 11 too!
One of the best parts of camp is gathering wood
for the fire and cooking our food. Somehow you
really appreciate it out in nature!
On hot days we get a chance to cool off with a trip down the Slip N' Slide!
As our week winds down on Friday we are successfully led back to
camp by the 11 year olds. It is time to get ready for the Pow Wow
at 2:00 pm. Now it is time to perform. All ages perform special dances
even the 4-5 year olds.
At 3:00 pm it is time for final songs at Singing Tree.
The flag is lowered and the end of the camp for this
week draws to a close. It is a bittersweet moment...
full of lots of memories of the week.
Our staff is eagerly awaiting YOU!
Register in the spring for camp...so you don't miss the FUN!
