On Our Way!

                                
If you know me, you know I love camp.  I went to camp from the time I was eight until I was head counselor when I was a Freshmen in College.  I spent four to five weeks (yes, in a row) each year at camp and could not wait to go back.  Not once in all that time was I homesick.  However, I did have parents who were extremely camp sick.  Thus one of the reasons for this blog, so that our camp parents can peek in and see how much fun their little one, or ones, might be having.  For those of you who are not familiar with our blog, in each post you will find highlighted text such as this, just click on it and it will take you to lots more photos that you can save and download, at no cost.
 
Back to our original post....The Cloverbuds pulled out Sunday morning day and raring to go, with a trailer loaded down and children strapped in.  They were headed to Cloverbud overnight camp at Betsy Jeff Penn in Reidsville, NC.  One the way they made a brief stop in Asheville at Golden Corral for lunch.  Arriving at camp around 2 the campers were met by staff who split them up, helped them unload, to checked in and moved into the cabins.  
Rain showers hit and they group headed to the rec hall for some serious fun.  There were introductions, games, and dancing.  With such a creative and fun staff there was guaranteed fun and smiles for all.  Dinner was a cookout and took place on the ball fields.

  •  Of course when they got done there were more games and fun.  Followed by the traditional camp fire!  Everyone got to sit and see the fire while listening to camp fire stories and singing campfire songs.  After campfire it was time for showers and bed!  Only to get up and get back at it in the morning.
  •   Please stay tuned to the blog.  Our 4-H Volunteer Annette Hagans is at camp supplying us with photos each night and we will get them uploaded each morning as soon as possible.
