Our third year attending Summer Camp and we rocked it.   From pre-travel emails from our SPL, to parent/scout trainings and custom-made maps and schedules  from Troop leadership, we were the most prepared we have ever been.   Hard to believe that we have come from being almost a Troop (sharing a site with an established Troop in 2022) to having a full Troop of our own and even girls serving as camp staff trainees! 

Upon arrival at our departure point, scouts received any camp shirts they preordered and gathered for photos before hitting the road.

We were scheduled to arrive before the camp would open, so we had time to stop by the gas station and grab some fun treats for our sack lunch that day.

As soon as we arrived, we were wisked away for a smooth check-in and swim checks.  

We were ready for some serious fun. 

This was our first time staying in the platform tents at Ingersoll.  The girls definitely had mixed feelings about it.  A few decided to pitch a tent and one even was brave enough to try hammock camping. 

One memory that will not soon be forgotten is Mr. Blumenberg showing us how to set up our tents and the proper technique for rolling the flaps to keep off the rain.

Our favorite part was the of why we shouldn't worry about any snakes, afterall, they keep the mice away!  Nervous laughter all around
