Kiwanis Scout Camp

William had a chance to attend his first Cub scout camp this year! He and Steve attended Kiwanis for a 3-day jam-packed camp adventure. They slept in cabins, which was nice as the weather was rather chilly.

The days, as I said, were jam-packed with activities and had both kids and parents tired out by evening. Will enjoyed craft time where he made the classic suet/pine-cone bird feeder, had a chance to make some rope the olde-fashioned way, and also earned his whittling-chip card for demonstrating how to correctly and safely use a pocket knife.

Making Rope


William really enjoyed archery and also tried his hand at B.B. gun shooting. B.B. guns didn't impress him that much, but he sure looks like he knows what he is doing, doesn' t he?

Every time he had free time, William chose to play tennis. Hmmm...maybe I should seek out some lessons for him?

Canoeing and pony riding were also big hits.

And you've gotta love anyplace that boasts a chicken mascot !!

Here's camper dad! had to include a piic to prove he was there! Too bad there are no pics of the kids vs. dads dodgeball game. That was a real "hit" with everyone! Both my guys came home happy, but exhausted!
