Home Sweet Home?


       It's Friday!  For most folks that's the end of the work week.  For our campers here at Betsy Jeff Penn 4-H Camp, affectionally called BJP, it is a bitter sweet day.  We are glad to see our families, but hate leaving our fun, friends, and all the food here at camp.

  We got up this morning and started packing.  It was another cool misty morning cat camp and that just sort of kept the damper on everyone's spirits as they tried to figure out how to stuff everything back into their suitcases.  Breakfast was perfect for traveling.  We had a chance to make our own breakfast biscuit sandwiches and there were really big hashbrowns to go with them.  It was oh so good.  however the mood was a little somber as everyone realized we would be leaving in just a couple of hours.

   Luggage was packed and placed in locations not to get wet.  Although I think there might have been a lot of wet towels and bathing suits packed up.  So the luggage may have gotten wet from the inside out.  We got cabins cleaned up and hope that everyone remembered everything.

  It was time for our final time in the rec hall.  Our campers were treated to a lost and found fashion show.  Many of them found items they had misplaced around the camp.  Then it was time for awards.  Each cabin counselor gave out awards for the All Around Awesome camper, best buddy, and more.  Then it was time for the slide show.  We had photos taken all week and got to see ourselves at our finest, funniest, and even most foolish, and it was great.  Oh the fun we have had.
    In no time it was time for us to get on the bus and head home.  We loaded up and prepared for the sleepy ride back.  It was good to see our families and we can't wait to tell them about camp.  To see what our brief last day looked like please click on this link.
