This mother’s day weekend the girls and I went to girl scout camp with their troop. They spent two nights there in a cabin. The camp was wooded with lots of trails, a lake, a meadow and lots of activities.

One of the girls favorite activities was taking out row boats on the lake. I was in Julia’s boat and she did really well. We might have gone in circles a few times but overall I’d say she is a strong row boater. It was very fun.

One of the activities was painting tote bags. They made a stencil first and then painted the design. They came out really well. It’s hard to tell from Julia’s photo above, but one the stencil is taken off they look good. They also explored with compasses, made bracelets, took a hike on a trail and learned about the local plants.

No girl scout camp would be complete without lots and lots of singing. Here the troop is leading the grace I think. The dining hall was up high surrounded by trees and with a view of the lake. Very pretty. There were also lots of campfire activities. The girls learned how to light matches, different kinds of fires you can set up and their purposes, and the most important of course, roasting marshmallows for smores.
