Fifth Grade Camp 2025

 Fifth grade camp came right on the heels of the middle school season.  We literally had just a few days of turn around time.  This was because our group was so big we got booted from our original camp location and had to switch weeks and locations.  We had to do a lot of scrambling to get counselors.  (Including on the night before when 3 dropped out.)  It was such a messy process this year.  Yuck.

But in the end, the location was beautiful--Orcas Island is incredible.  The weather was favorable--cool but not raining.  We even had some SUN!  And the kids were reasonably well behaved.  (Apparently Libby was the meanest counselor, haha.) 

I loved having both Libby and Sarah there.  They did a great job leading songs, playing mafia with the kids, and in general, being fabulous.

I took over 1000 pictures with my new camera.  Super fun. 

I am exhausted though.  Wishing camp had been at the original date--when we would have had the whole week of spring break to recover! 

Libby also found a snake.
