Mother Child Camp A Day 1

Starting off our second family camp of the summer, here we are at Mother Child Camp A, with a full camp! And, we couldn't be more excited!

After hiking up the trail to the lodge, finding their name tags & checking in with the nurse, families went to the beach, hung around the lodge and took some family photos.  Once the tractor arrived, the chairs were set in the sand and with the help of babysitters and staff, everyone was moved in and back down for lunch.

The delicious stromboli lunch made fresh, was followed by an all camp photo and splitting into kids group and mom's meeting. The kids had fun in their respective groups getting painted, playing games, and enjoying the beach while the moms learned about massages, animals, hikes and more!

We wrapped up the afternoon with loads of activities!  Kayaking, elimination, ocean dipping, art palace, challenge course and archery.  It was great fun! Then off to a filling dinner of Alfredo, fresh made bread, veggies and salad bar.

In just 10 minutes, we are going to start our first night campfire, inside as we are experiencing a bit of a heavy mist.... You know, not quite rain or sprinkles, but enough that I wouldn't want to sit outside and watch campfire! :D

I hope everyone has had a marvelous day!
