I had a busy weekend. Me and a few other suckers..oops I mean leaders took a bunch of Brownies and Sparks camping. We went to Camp Woolsey which is close to Ottawa. It rocked! Even though the weather was cold and a little windy the girls all cooked their own hot dogs and s'mores over the fire. Pretty exciting for a 5-8 year old! I'm not sure who suffered more- the leaders in the cabin with the girls waiting to cook their lunch or the ones outside in the wind. I guess its a draw.
The girls did the clean up afterwards and had duties that they had to do after each meal. As a reward they got this wonderful duty roster pin for on their hats! Isn't it great?
You know the best part about this camp? We all shared the planning. All of the groups in the area pooled resources and we got together to plan the weekend. A few people picked up the groceries and a few did the crafts. BEST CAMP EVER!
Until I locked my keys in the cabin and had to commit a felony in order to drive home.
Ah, yes, those were the days! I was a Tawny Owl in my younger years while DD was a Brownie, and a Mother's Helper when she was in Guides. Fun times.
