Terrific Tuesday

  Tuesdays are great days at Betsy Jeff Penn (BJP) 4-H Center because our campers are pretty confidant that they know what they are doing, where they are going, and they can let loose and have even more fun.
  Our campers got up bright and early to get dressed and do their chores before heading to breakfast.  There they were greeted with pancakes and sausage.  We also have a cereal and fresh fruit buffets for those who are not into other breakfast foods.  After stomachs were fueled for a busy day our youth paused in the pits for flag raising then it was off to a day of fun.
  Our younger youth hit the lake for canoeing and then ran up the hill to enjoy the pool.  Other campers enjoyed the boulder wall, archery, and the beaver hike all before lunch.  The older campers had a morning on the horses, rock wall climbed, fished, and even had time to get a little crafty.  All of this before lunch.
  Lunch seemed to make everyone happy with a make your own chicken sandwich, tator tots, and of course the salad bar.  Mom's and dad's don't worry we are eating well.  Some of us eat so well we just have to have a nap, even before we get back to the cabins.
  After lunch it was time to hit the activities we had not done yet.  So for those who had done it all we threw in the compass course, kickball, and the ever popular trip to the outpost (which was primarily for our Adventurers).  Camp store gave us a chance to talk to everyone and enjoy and cool beverage and a snack.
  As we began to wind down we headed back to our activities and then it was time to think about food again.  Tonight's dinner was BBQ chicken, green beans, mac and cheese, and corn bread followed by chocolate pudding.  After which Mother Nature must have been a little upset that we didn't save her anything because she made sure that flag lowering happened in the rec hall and we learned some new dance moves.
  As soon as she was gone we headed to our evening activities which included water games, campfire smores, and for our trekkers they had the opportunity to get ready for their big trip which we can tell you more about tomorrow.
  After all that fun we retired to our cabins for showers and to hit the hay.  Can't wait to see what Wednesday has to bring.
