Things are Heating Up at Camp Millstone

  Mother Nature may have put a damper on our plans Monday but by day three of Our 4-H Millstone day camp adventure we are blazing our own trails.  We were so excited when we arrived and headed straight for the rec hall so we could split up into our groups then it was off to activities.

     Today we are off to archery, canoeing, and group games.  For thoose of us who learned about shooting a bow and arrow it is our chance to practice and maybe hit a bullseye.  If archery wasn't our campers thing there was a big game of 3-D 9 square going on.  Thank goodness for the beachball they were using because it was being tossed into the air and has to stay airborn between the grids.  The great thing about this game...every 30 seconds or so someone was out, everyone shifts and a new person comes in.  That kept the waiting line short and moving.  The new activity for the day was canoeing.  We broke into pairs and got a quick lesson in paddling (as well as life jackets) and we were off and floating.

     Needless to say when lunch time came around we were famished.  It's a good thing too because the kitchen staff had prepared another one of their award winning meals.  One the menu today, chicken strips, peas, Mac and cheese (it was homemade and out of this world), a salad if you so chose, and sugar cookies for dessert.  There wasn't much time to let all the food digest before we err out and about again.

   We finished up with the last of our three activities and then we changed and jumped right into the cool blue waters of the pool.  There is nothing like winding up the end of the day by cooling off and playing with all our new found friends.  After getting out and sort of drying off, and changing we hit camp store for our snack and then climbed into the van to head home.

     Now it might have been really quiet on the ride home but it may have been because all the fun of the day almost everyone was asleep.  When we got back to the office everyone woke up and started talking about all the fun we would have tomorrow.  Stay tuned because things are bound to heat up again tomorrow.
