Well we made it! 54 youth from Robeson County signed up to attend a week long overnight camp at Betsy Jeff Penn 4-H Educational Center in Reidsville, NC. We left around 9:30 Sunday morning and arrived at camp just after 2:00 p.m. Everyone was anxious from our long trip and it did not take the campers long to get registered and find out where they would be living for the next week and who their cabin mates would be.
After unpacking and a few icebreakers everyone headed to the craft shelter for a huge cookout. After filling up on hot dogs, chips, and watermelon campers had a chance to meet all the staff and volunteers and learn one interesting thing about them. They learned everything from the international staff members strange eating habits (ketchup on pizza) to who has a dog that likes to unpack suitcases. After that it was time for line dancing, square dancing and just general fun.
To cap the evening off everyone enjoyed the opening night campfire which included skits and songs before heading back to their cabins and diving into bed. However, before sleepy time hit one cabin they had to celebrate an important milestone. Brion Oxendine celebrated his 11th birthday complete with ice cream for everyone in his cabin. What a way to cap off the night!
