Harry Potter Lord of the Flies

A couple more days into camp. This is such a traditional feeling summer camp, everything you would expect, arts and crafts, new friends, hiking, staying up late, canoes, swimming, camp food. Gramma Ila and I are in charge of the Gryfindors (ages 7-10) and we have all boys so i am in heaven and taking charge. On the first night of camp we did the Sorting Hat, which I lead and sorted all 50 kids into age groups named after the Hogwarts Houses in the Harry Potter books. I got to be silly and enjoyed being the emcee. I am definitely pushing the Gryfindor boys. First day we swam in the pool for our hour and a half, then today we went on a long hike up the creek and then overland without a trail (see picture in the creek).


Then this evening we walked to Jenks lake to canoe and eat our evening meal by the lake. Had lots of fun in the boats and even got Gramma Ila to go for a paddle. Hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we are enjoying camp!
