Girl's PATH and Water Mania!

The ladies of Pioneer Land returned this morning with faces painted and a bit more nature-savvy. With the first PATH (Pioneer Adventure Teambuilding Hike) of this session completed, we are more pumped then ever about how much our Pioneers love the outdoors! We began last night at 5:00 pm, and hiked around the beautiful Sunset Lake. We had several team building activities, teaching the Pioneers leadership, friendship, teamwork, creativity, communication, and the importance of taking care of oneself. The night was concluded with wonderful sac burgers that we cooked over an open camp fire, and of course, smores. After making our own shelters out of tarps and rope, we settled down for a good night's rest under the pines in the back part of the Circle F property.

We marched in this morning with our face paint (ash from the fire) and concluded our "PATH" with the traditional lake run.

It is so true that we are one big happy family here at Circle F! It is a beautiful thing, sharing each other's stories, laughter, love, and water craziness!

Tonight's evening activity was Water Mania- a fantastic program focused on cooling down and soaking suds! The first station is giant slip n' slide... a soapy spin on the summer classic plastic runway. We just add some soap, some rubber inner tubes, and the Co-bucks are slipping down all the way to Pioneer land!

Other water games are spread out through camp so everyone has an opportunity to race, throw sponges at opponents, and try to fill their buckets the fastest.

We can only hope your day was as eventful as ours! Here from Circle F, we wish you a Tremedous Thursday- all day long!
