On Saturday I got to experience Brownie Camp. I took a vanload of girls (along with another mom) up to Camp Collins for a day of adventure. It was so much fun. We started off with a very exciting game of Elbow Tag-which happens to involve screaming and running. The game came naturally to the girls. We got to do some art projects, a scavenger hunt and critter shelter making, bouldering, and some hanging out with the big sister girl scout troop. Seeing the cabins their "sisters" stayed in was a huge hit. I have to say, the cabins are so nice and there are bunkbeds! Our troop made a bunch of felt flowers to take to the "SWAP" portion of the day and it was darling to see the younger girls attempt to make eye contact with the older girls. The previously screaming elbow tag girls were shy and quiet. It was very touching to watch as the girls took in the whole experience. We stayed for most of the campfire and songs/skits which was delightful to the girls. Remember the days when making up skits and songs was easy and carefree? I remember playing "Make me Laugh" for hours during the summer and having many "I am going to pee my pants" moments! We also had a rubber chicken for a prop so that made all the difference. Anyway.......on our ride home the girls were singing and laughing so it was a great day at Brownie Camp. Thanks to the hosts that kept the huge cauldron of coffee on throughout the day.
