Our Florida Summer Camp Kicks Off!

We are going strong! Summer Camp registration went off without a hitch.  Parents and campers started arriving as early as 8 am even though it doesn’t start till 9:45. The line moved quickly as campers couldn’t wait to check in and get with the “funtastic “ time they knew was planned for everyone of them.

Sunday afternoon in the Lasso Lodge was filled with song, good food and a new drink machine which was only a few of the surprises. Energy was running high as campers and their counselors got acquainted and old friends told each other about their adventures since they were last together. Even Boo Who came out once he realized the kids were back. I saw some of the photographs taken by the kids in the new photography class and Boo Who tried being in most of them.

The weather really cooperated the sun was shinning all day but at night as all the campers were in the Round Up the thunder storm was loud and the rain which has been much needed came down in buckets! But it stopped just in time for everyone to head back to their cabins and ready for their first night at camp.

Monday morning was amazing first flag raising then Afton lead us in some very thought provoking words about how we were all going to enjoy ourselves at Circle F Dude Ranch.  Then it was on to activities. The new “Wibit” was filled with kids sliding climbing and jumping then swimming to the Summit and the Blob – the Banana boat was filled with kids laughing as they were pulled around the lake.

Tonight dinner was wonderful mashed potatoes chicken tenders and we are all loving the salad bar.

As you can see I have lots I will be telling you all about as the week goes by. I haven’t even told you about the horses or the new art counselors Deven is head of art and Jessica is one of her assistants Ali is back and everyone was so excited to see her. Lots of new projects and Deven even hung up the drawings that the campers did. Check out the photo of her and Jessica and Ali and Travis on Shutterfly at http://circlefduderanch.shutterfly.com

 it’s the easiest way to keep up on what’s happening. Jarred, Chris Moon and Travis will be talking photos every day and posting every night. I just know everyone will love seeing all the happenings each session.

So that’s  it for now girls and guys and please tell mom and dad to check out the blog and of course any questions just ask and I will do my best to help get answers.

Look forward to seeing all my old friends and can’t wait for all the new campers that are coming.

See ya Jessie.
