A day at camp

Ok, Here goes a rough description of summer camp at Camp Parsons through the eyes of a first timer.

In two words, “Chaotic Bliss”.  Actually there is a LOT of organization but you have to realize it immediately breaks down with excited tweens and teens. Some scouts follow directions well, and some, not so much.  However, I can assure you, ALL scouts are having a great time. I have seen no heavy drama and the very occasional small outburst is typically between a parent and their child.

Here is a typical day, scouts wake up, bright and chipper ready to tackle the day, they go wash up brush their teeth and neatly comb their hair, change their clothes, put their old clothes neatly away.  Review their plans for the day, perform the flag ceremony and head to their stations after carefully evaluating what they need, Mask, water bottle, proper shoes, scout book and a cheerful attitude… Nah, just kidding our kids roll out of bed, sleepy eyed, bed hair, most then wash up brush teeth, Start playing, then they are invited, to show up for Flag ceremony and off to breakfast, some are running late looking for the mandatory mask required when indoors and not actively eating. 

They show up and are all together before entering the eating hall.  Everyone appears to be eating well, scouts are encouraged to go back for seconds if they are still hungary.  Then it is off to your first station.  I will post the map and the schedule for stations.  Note: Our group is broken intel two cohorts as mentioned before. The schedule I am sending is for just one.  It gives an example of the stations, then i will start posting the photos all the adults have collect and given to me so far.
