Things are Looking Brighter

We loaded up and left the 4-H office a little after 8 am to head to Camp Millstone for day two of our adventure.  Everyone came back to give it a second go around and we are so very happy about that.  When we got there our campers joined campers from Anson, Hoke, Moore, Richmond, and Scotland Counties.  The staff was glad to see everyone and they headed to the rec hall to split into groups for the day.  Groups are divided by age so all our young ones are together and the older ones are together which allows for similar challenges and experiences.

The groups split up among archery, riflery, and group games.  During the day each group got to try their hand at everything.  Often they got to try more than once.  For those who had never shot a bow and arrow or a rifle it was a fantastic experience.  They learned about safety, being respectful of the weapon, and how to listen to their range instructors.  Group games took on many forms, from tag games involving bats and vampires to three dimensional four square ( actually nine square but the concept is the same), the campers were out and moving just having fun.  Little do they know that they are also working on their problem solving skills and tea working abilities. 

  Of course lunch time was welcome as everyone was famished.  Mini corn dogs, French fries, and mixed vegetables were on the menu.  There were many trips to the kitchen in hopes of refills on this tasty meal.

  After lunch it was time to finish our activites (two before lunch and one after).  Then it was time for everyone's favorite activity (just as the sun made a bright and shiny appearance) swimming!  Everyone jumped in the pool to cool off and play winding up a great day!  

  After changing clothes it was time to grab a snack from the camp store, jump on the van, and leave making sure we make it back in time to meet parents and head home.  What a great day of fun and sunshine was had by all.  Can't wait to see what tomorrow has in store.
