Sunday ​  
We welcomed our campers to a 
wonderful week in the woods. We 
enjoyed decorating the barn with 
trees, fires, smores, and woodland 
bugs before turning in for the night 
under the bright white moon. 

 
 
  

Monday  
As any good adventure planner knows- we always need 
a backup plan! Today the storm clouds and thunder 
called for a train ride to the Kon-O-Kwee dining hall 
instead of the pool. We were able to accomplish turning 
our Superstars from campers into BUGS! We also made 
a campfire craft that left us feeling much warmer after 
getting rained on! We went to archery and were able to 
make a frog and turtle paper plate crafts! Before 
enjoying an extremely appetizing dinner! We enjoyed 
our outside music monday by making our own music 
shakers and playing eye spy! We had a blast making our 
own splatter paint pine tree before eating snack and 
heading to bed!

Tuesday ​  
This mornings adventure started with a splash in our outdoor pool! We listened to the 
nature of the woods around us as we spotted deer in the creek, bunnies in the grass and 
birds overhead on our way to the pool! We spent the afternoon creating our very own 
decorated mason jars and painting with items found in nature. The superstars also 
braved the slip ’n slide before going to a wonderful barn dance. The evening came to a
