Making Memories at Summer Camp!

The girls had the opportunity to attend their first week long summer camp at YMCA Camp Streefland with four different neighborhood family friends.  They went every day from 9am-4pm and came home completely exhausted but so excited to tell us about the daily adventures. I was so proud of them because if they were nervous about going to camp it never showed!  The first day they got their backpacks ready with all the essentials and had nothing but pure excitement for the day to start!

First day photo with some friends! So excited!!

Katelin’s group name was The Extreme Rockin’ Monkey Girls. Of course Katelin told us that she suggested the monkey part because she loves monkeys (who knew!). Her favorite activity of the week was going down the Black Hole (a long, steep, and dark tube you slide down on a sled). A few of her other favorites were canoeing, archery, swimming, tie-dying and singing songs and dancing.

Disappointed the Black Hole was closed on Family Night

The entrance to “The Extreme Rockin’ Monkey Girls” fort!

The oar is twice the size as Kate!

Annie was a Wee-Bee and there were only 3 other friends in her group but they had a blast!  Her favorite was the zip line but she told us it wasn’t nearly as fun as ours because it wasn’t as long or fast as ours! She also loved all the same things Katelin did! She had a lot of fun telling us about the “Gaga Monster” who hides out in the woods and waits and steals marshmallows from campers!

Wee Bee Village!

Annie and her bud!

Just finished “La Touche”!

James visited camp on Family Night and had fun running around exploring too.  He will definitely be ready in a few years for his turn to go!



So after a long, exhausting and fun week…they can’t wait until next year when they can go back again and make more memories!
