McKay has watched his older brothers go to scout camp for years. I am so glad that he is having this experience! He was so excited. Dad got work off and went with him, which made it that much more special.
That is a huge backpack.
All lined up.
Meal times were a favorite. McKay loved the food, the songs, the silly things they did. He came home talking about it all.
These were what the boys slept in.
On the first day the boys were challenged to wake up every morning and come to the lake around 6:30 to practice swimming. The goal was to be able to swim a mile on the last day of camp (Friday). They had to wake up around 6:00 to get there on time. McKay decided to take the challenge and he called me to proudly tell me that he had swam a mile on Wednesday. He was one of the youngest kids at camp and accomplished his goal two days early! I am so proud of this boy. The counselors would follow them in a canoe to pick them up if they wanted to quit. But he didn't. He's so driven!
Pretty proud of himself!
McKay loved all of the merit badge classes. He would take notes so he could remember what he was learning. He was the perfect age for camp!
He loved all of the games!
What a fun experience all of the boys had!
