Camp in the City

This week the kids have been at a camp at our church called Camp in the City.  It is a Pine Cove camp and essentially what they do is bring sleepover camp to a location and make a day camp out of it!  The kids have been in their "tents" with their counselors all week and a group of kids the same age and gender as them!  They have had a blast!

C was a bit unsure of all the singing, cheering and bible study the first day, but he soon found his groove and loved the rough and tumble nature of his counselor when they did activities!  He was in a group of eight boys and knew two of them from church!

S loved it from the moment we pulled up on Monday and has talked non-stop about it every afternoon!  I have heard endless camp cheers and all about her amazing counselor.  She is in a group of five girls and they all go to our church and were all friends beforehand!  This was not completely planned but it worked out great for the girls!!

On Friday, the parents were invited to join the campers at the end of the day for the closing ceremonies!  We were able to see the kids doing their cheers and hear about what a day was like for the campers.  At the end, we met up with the kids and their counselors back in the gym to hear what the counselors said they thought their characters qualities were:

S - bold(in who she is!), eager and expressive
C - determined, capable, agreeable(I question that last one a bit...lol!)

I'm thankful that the camp took pictures and we could access them through the camp's app!  I always love seeing what the kids are doing when they are having fun and not with us!!

Such an amazing week for the kids!  They are already asking if they can go again next year!:)

S received the City Star (one girl and one boy were chosen each day
who "stood out" to the counselors) and she decided to do a little dance
