We're Back!

 What a ride we have had.  By the time you are reading this our campers are safe and sound at home and probably sleeping hard.  We had a hot, fun, tiring week at camp and I hope all our campers want to go back next year.  Here is what our last day looked like...

We started our day getting up, cleaning cabins, packing, finding all the stuff we brought and bought, and packing up some more.  We tried not to leave anything behind, but sometimes it happens (but we hope it didn't).  Breakfast included bacon, biscuits, and we made our own breakfast sandwiches to nosh on.  After making sure all of our luggage was at the designated county pickup site on camp we headed to the Rec, Hall for our last hoorah!

Each groups counselors gave out personalized awards to our campers for their achievements this week.  There were corn hole aficionados, All Around All Star Campers, Lady Ga-Ga Ball champs and more.  Everyone was on stage and had a shot at being recognized.  After our time in the limelight, it was time to shine on screen.  We had our camp slide show highlighting the events of the week.  Some of it seemed like forever ago, while some of it seemed like it had happened in just a minute.

When that was over we got up and hugged, shed some tears, cried, and headed toward our vehicles.  It was a sad day to leave and we will be happy to see our families when we get home.  

We pulled up at the Robeson County Extension Office a little tired, a little aromatic with the smells of camp, and happy to have those hugs we had missed for a week.  We went in and got our camp t-shirts to remember our time at camp and then to the next step to head home.  Parents don't be surprised if our campers sleep, tell stories that have a "you had to be there" ending, or are suddenly doing new things like taking a broom to sweep or making their beds.  Just know it was all part of the camp experience and we sincerely believe that they all had a good time.

Thank you to our campers for being a part of the adventure.  Thank you parents for trusting us with your child and children.  We enjoyed our time together more than we can ever explain.
