Camp Hidden Hollow!!

Naomi, Jacob, Caleb and Bethany LOVED Camp Hidden Hollow this year! (Thanks Grandma for helping to make it happen!)

Caleb was kind of the darling of the camp. All the counselors loved him. "Crawdad" told me that Caleb was pretty much his favorite person now. : )

Despite being babied a bit for the week, Caleb learned a lot and had to take on some big boy responsibilities. I'm proud of him for not only making it through the week, but really enjoying it as well.

Bethany was thrilled to join in with what has up to now just been a special week for Naomi and Jacob!

We're so thankful for a camp where the kids can not only learn 

grooming and riding horses

canoeing

swimming

archery

hiking

fun group games

and

crawdad fishing

but also make friendships with other campers and with slightly older counselors

and learn more about the love of God.

Yay for Camp Hidden Hollow

Traditionally, the last day of Camp Hidden Hollow the (tired) campers get to show their families around the camp. 

We enjoyed our tour!

At camp the kids got to:

go to chapel each morning for a Bible lesson and singing

ride horses

learn how to groom horses

swim in the lake

swing on a rope swing into the lake

hike

find sticks in the woods and roast marshmallows

shoot bows and arrows

play lots of games

get to know some really great counselors

picnic every day

wade in the creek

spend time with best friends

learn the counselors nicknames like,

Baracuda

and Bug

and Ninja

and Skittles

and John Deere

and Cowboy.

It was a wonderful, wonderful week!
