Robeson County descended on Betsy Jeff Penn Camp Sunday afternoon and we made our presence known. When the buses rolled up, we rolled out and grabbed our stuff and checked in. We had already made new best friends within our group and among the Richmond County 4-H group which picked up along the way.
After moving into the cabins we made our way to the ball field and played all sorts of games to get to know each other. While one group played duck duck goose, another played an updated version of red rover and another played a murder mystery game. We played, ran and laughed until it was time to eat. The counselors cooked hot dogs with baked beans, chips, watermelon and chocolate chunk cookies. It was YUMMMMMMMMY!
After dinner it was time for intros of all the staff and volunteers. We learned some very interesting things about the counselors and had a lot of fun cheering on our county volunteers and agents. The Heritage Dance took the next portion of the night as everypne learned a new version of the Virginia reel and we had fun kicking up our heels. After that it was time for us to drag our weary bodies to the campfire where the counselors sang for us and presented some really funny skits. Then off to bed we went, except for one cabin that had a birthday to celebrate. The girl adventure/trekker group celebrated the birthday of Jasmine Jacobs. She turned thirteen on our first day of camp so we had an ice cream party to celebrate.
At last check all was quiet, everyone was curled up in their beds, sound asleep waiting for the next day of camp to begin.
