Day Camp...

Published on Jun 20, 2012

Walker had day camp for cubscouts. I stayed for the first 2 rotations. The theme this year was "the wild west" so first up was the gold mine where they learned all about different types of rocks and then got to "pan for gold" which ended up being all kinds of polished and raw rocks.

They each got to take home 3 rocks... and a sample of each type of rock. I had originally planned to leave after that but BB guns were up next and overhearing all horror stories of past camps I decided to stay for one more station. He did good... only once did I have to yell... "Point the gun up!! Since we had a brief accidental aim at the person next to him.

He did well for it being his first time... didn't hit a mark on the target sheet but hey you've got to start somewhere.

They went on to do archery, rope making, leather work, lassoing, compass exploring, as well as tour the fort hall replica museum. It was an all day thing and he was a tired Bug tonight! Overall his favorite station was Archery.
