Girl Scout Twilight Camp

Avery was sooooo excited to do Girl Scout Camp this year.
It is called "Twilight" camp because it happens every day from 1-7 for a week.
This year's theme was "Mid Summer's Dream".
Avery was part of the "Fabulous Faries" unit.
Their t-shirts were even embellished with fairy wings.


She had a BLAST!
The camp takes place at Hovander Homestead Park here in Ferndale.
After the first day of camp Avery let me know that Hovander is a different place to her now.  "It's like a totally different place when I'm at camp."  Magical.

The girls earned their first Brownie patch.....the Earth and Sky Try-It.  They learned about clouds and geology.  They sang camp songsat a place called the "singing tree"....

 ....cooked their own dinner one night....


....worked together to complete tasks....


....made some cool arts and crafts....


....had a crazy hair day....


....got dirty, suffered MANY mosquito bites and were COMPLETELY exhausted at the end of each day.  Avery LOVED Girl Scout Camp!

Annalise even got to "tag-a-long" at camp for 2 days.  When I was there volunteering, they had a "tag-a-long" unit that little brothers and sisters could do.  Even Annalise learned some new songs, got dirty and had a blast!


What a fun week!
