These past two weeks have been all about camp and VBS! During first week of June, my girls went to Pine Cove base camp at our church!
I highly recommend this as a transition for overnight camps. Next summer, I would love to send my girls to Pine Cove overnight week long camp, and I think they would be totally ready for it based on the week they had at base camp! It was 9-4 p.m. Monday-Friday and they loved every minute of it! (Okay, Rilyn did complain about being too sweaty some days!) 🙂 But that is a girly girl for ya!
They had tons of water activities every day!

They did the Wobble (I totally recommend playing this for the kids, so fun!)

They had worship!

And during the last day, the counselors (which both my girls want to be when they are in college!), presented them with a certificate of character quality!

| Ella and her counselor |
Ella’s said, “Ella is an outgoing young lady. Her enthusiastic attitude is contagious and inspiring. Her positive outlook is a blessing to those around her.”
 |
| Rilyn and her counselor |
Rilyn’s said, “Rilyn is selfless, putting others before herself. She is uplifting in what she says and does. Her gracious attitude is a blessing to those around her.”
