Campers partake in care flight education!

After team building and making friends the first couple of days of Camp, day three was packed full of outdoor activities and experiences.

Each Camper had signed up for their own specific pursuit for the day, this included kayaking and fishing on the Campus pond, scoring bulls eyes at the Archery range, nature Arts & Crafts and a giant game of ultimate Frisbee on the lawn.

Also during the afternoon we had a visit from “Care Flight” an emergency response helicopter.  All campers where under close supervision as the helicopter touched down on the upper lawn and a presentation was made by the crew.  Campers had the chance to check out the inside of the Helicopter before it took off again.

In the evening after dinner, everyone had the chance to make their own ice cream sundaes.

Under the beautiful Sierra Night sky campers headed back to either their cabins or teepees to dream about the day ahead.
