Day Camp Day

Yesterday my daughter and I had two separate day camps. My daughter went to one at our church for girls 8-11 years old. She went to different workshops throughout the day. In one they learned about being a good friend. They read a book called "Enemy Pie." It's about how to turn an "enemy" into a friend. Then they came up with their own "recipes" for Enemy Pie. A cup of kindness, etc. In other workshops she went through an obstacle course, made crafts, art projects, and learned more about being a good person. They also talked to them about avoiding pornography and never sending inappropriate texts. All of them helped her increase her faith and know her worth. Activity Day day camp is the best!

I went to a Cub Scout day camp for the Bear group (9 year old boys.) It was a fun day for the boys. We went on nature hikes where they observed different kinds of plants and looked for signs of animal and insect life. They made small boats to race. They played games. They solved a "crime." They got to spray the hose on a fire truck. They even got to shoot bows and arrows. Besides all the fun they learned lots of thing too. They talked about safety, conservation, endangered animals, and learned more about the different types of things that firefighters and EMTs do. It was kind of a long day outside for me as a leader. I was just there to supervise the boys in our group. But I had a chair to sit in and there was lots of shade. It was a good day for the boys and not a bad day for me either. 

Today I think we are just recuperating from all the busyness of yesterday. We haven't done much today except binge watch some Netflix together. Sometimes you need days like that!
