Travel Camp Scouting Day 3


Once upon a time, a Sassy Pickled Jellyfish went on a road trip. She was so excited to get out and explore for this fabulous program (Camp Westwind Travel Camp).

Day 1: Portland - Bend - Kalamath Falls. A trip around Mt. Hood looking at all the gorgeous waterfalls, an afternoon snack at Dairy Queen, a trip to the High Desert Museum, exploring routes and fun all the way to Kalamath Falls. Ahh...Time for bed!

Day 2: Kalamath Falls - Somewhere in California - Lava Beds - Tule Lake - Possibly Canby's Pass - Bieber - Sacramento. Yesterday, now that was fun! Parts of the trip, well... the Sassy Pickled Jellyfish didn't know that Winter lasted longer here (in California) than it does elsewhere... She kind of got stuck after she went on one of those gray lined roads on the map. Who knew?! Luckily, she had her trusty fanny pack/bum bag! Thank you Camp RIGHTSLEEVE! Anyway, she figured out where she was headed and went on her way to find lunch. There was a quaint little town that totally had a huge bear in it - okay, the bear was stuffed, but still... The bear even got some action with the fanny/bum bag. Back to the car, the Sassy Pickled Jellyfish drove on. She passed through many towns along the route (although I don't quite remember them all, I do remember Bieber!). Eventually we ended the night in Sacramento California....

Day 3: Sacramento - Garlic Gilroy - San Jose - Santa Cruz. As the Sassy Pickled Jellyfish begins the day with waffles for breakfast, she is super excited to head TO THE BEACH! Not just any beach (and not the thebeach (as in Westwind), but the sunny Santa Cruz destination. It really was a gorgeous day, and SO many things for Travel Camp to do! The Sassy Pickled Jellyfish has come up with a billion pamphlets for the campers to choose from and have their own adventure.

That's all on the Sassy Pickled Jellyfish for now...I'm sure more will come later!

If you haven't already, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help support Camp Westwind by purchasing some Macy's tickets. I know that if you don't read the blog tonight or tomorrow, it won't be too helpful, but tomorrow, Saturday May 14th, is the Macy's Community Sale where you can save $10 on your purchase of $25 or more. If you show up to the Macy's at Washington Square, you can meet some of our fantastic staff! Bring some friends, make a shopping day out of it!

Camp Westwind is doing a fabulous (thanks to our community) in registering for camp. HOWEVER, I would like you to know, that we still have PLENTY of spots open, especially for day camp! Do you know someone who isn't quite ready for resident camp or doesn't want to leave their friends for a whole week? Well, Day Camp would be the place for them! It has fabulous themed weeks, and the staff are fantastic. Some of you may not know about our new Father Child camp either... We still have plenty of room there and in CAMPOUT! If you'd like more information, please, contact us!

Hope you enjoyed this blog!
