Sunday morning, bright and early. That is when we traditionally leave from week long overnight camp at Betsy-Jeff Penn 4-H Educational Center, and this year was no different. We started out with registration at the NC Cooperative Extension, Robeson County Center office. Ms Wendy came in to help out as folks came in to sign in, and get the skinny on a week away from home and parents.
Arriving safely at BJP we unload the bus and headed to the craft shelter for the boys and the top of the hill for the girls. We got checked in and found out which cabin was ours. We picked bunks and unpacked, making friends pretty quickly. We took a little tour, played some games and before we knew it it was time for dinner.
The rec hall tonight we learned some camp rules, and met all the staff and agents. There sure are a lot of adults on hand. After meeting everyone we went on a riddle tour. The older youth actually got a chance to jump in the pool and take their swim test while all of this was going on.
Then we kicked back and enjoyed our first campfire complete with repeat after
me songs, skits, and just some good old fashioned fun. After campfire it was time to go back to our cabins, shower, and go to bed. It has been an exciting first day and tomorrow will be filled with exciting fun.
We start our day early with breakfast and cabin cleaning chores. That's important because tomorrow is our first ever cabin inspection and the golden faucet award is up for grabs. To see our photos from today, please click here.
