Our Last Full Day

Thursday is our last day at Betsy Jeff Penn before coming home and we made the best of it.  We hit the ground running hard this morning doing our daily chores and having fun during our activities.  We made our last attempts at canoeing archery and rock wall climbing.  Everyone made their last round through the arts and crafts area gathering up their creations to bring home and prepared for the big evening event.
 Tonight our evening activity was a dance.  Now for those who don't
dance (which is a large number of younger campers) we had games.  Balls, sidewalk chalk, and corn hole were just a few of the things available outside while campers gathered in the rec hall for music and dancing.
  One of the things that keeps the dance moving is the heat in the rec hall.  The dancers find themselves outside a great deal to cool off.  One of the traditions of cooling off on our last night are the snow cones.  Each one made with the efforts of the Leaders in Training (LIT) and it definitely made them work up a sweat.  According to the campers they did a great job and once again showed off their dedication to the overall camp experience.

After the dance and games came to an end it was time for our final campfire.  We had songs and skits while the crackle of the flames lit up the venue.  It was an awesome closing to an incredible week.  As we traveled back to our cabins to shower and back campers hugged and had a bittersweet feeling as we get ready to go home and say goodbye to our new friends, while we look forward to hugging everyone we have missed.
  Stay tuned we have just a few more adventures before we board the buses tomorrow and head home.
