Last Day of Indian Camp for 2021

 It was hard to crawl out of bed this morning but the breakfast for 35 hungry Indians needed to be made. The oven was turned on at 6:00 am and I started cooking, finishing the meal at 7:28 am, just in time to get the food over to the playground by the 7:30 am start time. We had 6 dozen scrambled eggs, 100 sausage links, 48 biscuits, 60 cinnamon rolls, grapes, cherries, strawberries, and 3 gallons of fresh squeezed orange juice. Well I didn't squeeze it, but the label said not from concentrate so it must have been fresh squeezed. Everyone had their fill and we even had some left over which came in real handy when Spark and Josiah showed up for lunch AFTER lunch. Taunya and Stephanie made walking taco's for the camp lunch and that was pretty much all eaten. Spark and Josiah were working on the new electrical service box



for the new barn so of course they were fed. This morning at 9:30 was the painting of the ponies. 




 They also made beaded necklaces for the younger Indians and the older Indians worked on totem poles. They hiked, checked snares, had an archery contest, canoe races, cleaned up the campsite then got to swim. Below is a video of just a few of the activities today. In the 3 days these campers really improved their archery skills, their fishing skills and canoeing skills. They also learned about not wasting food, where to find food in the wild, patience with each other and how to work together.

Once the Indians were picked up I moved the campers over to the playground.

Sarah and Nolan's family will be spending the night in the FSX while Rebekah and her 3 will be spending the night in the Summerland. Rebekah's husband Brian is volunteering at junior high boys camp.
