 |
| That's right... |
 |
| We're here! |
 |
| The Camp Family... |
 |
| Is back together... |
 |
| Back in action... |
 |
| And back at 4-H Camp... |
 |
| For Leadership Weekend! |
 |
| Cause who doesn't need... |
 |
| Just a little... |
 |
| Summer Camp joy... |
 |
| In the midst of winter. |
 |
| And as always, we start that Summer Camp joy... |
 |
| With an Opening Campfire... |
 |
| To introduce WHY we're here... |
 |
| In the middle of February. |
 |
| (Why ARE we here in the middle of February?) |
 |
| It's simple! We're here... |
 |
| 'Cause we're next year's Junior Counselors, of course! |
 |
| Junior Counselors who follow a sleep-away Camp night... |
 |
| With a sleep-away Camp MORNING! |
 |
| With Camp morning table setting... |
 |
| Camp morning yoga... |
 |
| Camp morning breakfast prep... |
 |
| (Yum)... |
 |
| Camp Morning, Curtis... |
 |
| And Camp Morning clean-up! |
 |
| Cause part of WHY WE'RE HERE... |
 |
| Is to give back to 4-H Camp... |
 |
| And a great way to give back to Camp... |
 |
| Is to help give the Dining Hall... |
 |
| A Pre-"Spring Cleaning" Clean! |
 |
| (Especially because we still left out most of the stuff from Winter Gathering.) |
 |
| Yes, and as all of our former CITs... |
 |
| Have gathered to learn more about HOW we take care of Camp... |
 |
| (Back to WHY WE'RE HERE!)... |
 |
| One of the best ways to take care of 4-H Camp... |
 |
| Is to have a great time... |
 |
| While you're working. |
 |
| How much fun... |
 |
| Can you really have... |
 |
| While cleaning up... |
 |
| Two month old... |
 |
| Holiday wreaths? |
 |
| Oh, don't underestimate... |
 |
| The future... |
 |
| Junior Counselors... |
 |
| And staff... |
 |
| Of L.G. Cook... |
 |
| 4-H Camp! |
 |
| We know how to have... |
 |
| TOO MUCH FUN... |
 |
| Doing almost... |
 |
| Anything! |
 |
| But back to WHY WE'RE HERE! |
 |
| We're here to team build... |
 | |
|
 |
| And to do so, |
 |
| First we need to team build... |
 |
| By getting the "Story-Telling Campfire-wood!" |
 |
| And also back to WHY WE'RE HERE! |
 |
| The participants of Leadership Weekend... |
 |
| Have (for the most part)... |
 |
| Been coming to summer camp year after year... |
 |
| Summer after summer... |
 |
| And have enjoyed... |
 |
| Playing outside... |
 |
| With almost every summer camp activity... |
 |
| We have to offer. |
 |
| And now, |
 |
| Since they've finally aged-out... |
 |
| Of our Summer Camp program... |
 |
| We only think it's right... |
 |
| To give them the opportunity... |
 |
| To have fun... |
 |
| Playing... |
 |
| Outside... |
 |
| Together... |
 |
| With some of the... |
 |
| NON-SUMMER camp activities we have to offer... |
 |
| As well. |
 |
| And ALSO BACK TO "WHY WE'RE HERE"! |
 |
| Leadership Weekend is a Junior Counselor TRAINING weekend... |
 |
| And even more important than the Junior Counselors taking care of 4-H Camp... |
 |
| Is that the Junior Counselors help take care of the CAMPERS at 4-H Camp... |
 |
| So we spent some quality time talking out... |
 |
| The philosophies, goals, and tactics... |
 |
| Of our caring, welcoming, kind and respectful 4-H Camp environment. |
 |
| Speaking of environment! You know we couldn't be here... |
 |
| Without playing... |
 |
| Some 4 Square... |
 |
| Taking... |
 |
| Some hikes... |
 |
| And just enjoying every minute... |
 |
| Of getting to be... |
 |
| Back on Camp again. |
 |
| Sounds like the makings for a full weekend, right? |
 |
| Wrong! |
 |
| Because it's only Saturday afternoon! |
 |
| And despite the time we've had... |
 |
| The fun we've had... |
 |
| And all we've accomplished... |
 |
| There's still half of a Leadership Weekend to go! |
But you'll have to come back to the blog later to see that.
