Scout Camp

We had Scout Camp this week. We met at 6 AM Monday morning, and drove to Camp. We stayed about 2 hours away, in upstate NY. It was a really nice camp, with great facilities. We had 4 boys, another leader and his son, and myself.

Regrettably, I was only able to stay until Wednesday night, since I had to get back to work. The first night the boys were a little out of their element. They were scared about the spiders and the other bugs in their tents. But after that first night, they were doing great and completely used to the camping.

They were involved in Archery, Wood Carving, Leatherwork, Wood carving, swimming, canoeing, and rowing. The food was ... decent at best, but that makes for good memories and stories. There were 6 other stakes there from the NY area, and we had about 200 boys at camp, about 35 from Queens.

We have such good boys. They are all awesome and I was so happy they were there. We had a great time. Thanks Kevin for going up on Wed to take my place.
