We always have a lot of fun at Family Camp each year. Trapper Trails Council and many wonderful volunteers put on a week long camp with Wood Badge training, NYLT Summit Training and programs for spouses and children(including nursery - WOW!)
This year I was a Troop Guide again for Wood Badge, Philip oversees the whole program and the kids have the time of their lives!
Some of my Wood Badge experience
My favorite 6 year old and I
Libbie loved the swings
Who's this cute guy?
That swing really did come in handy
She made this visor in her class on Monday and wore it the whole week
Meal time is always fun -- we pretty much have it down to a science now
Daddy takes care of the kids all week -- no wonder I LOVE this week?
Gavin just ate it up. He said it was better than Disneyland!
Garrett dressed up for a skit
Watch out everyone -- he's tough!
Gavin built a paddle boat --- this is his class -- checking to see if they work:)
It must have been fun -- we rarely see this smile.:)
Brothers having FUN!

We'll have to try it one year! It looks like a great time for the family!
Something about being at camp that brings ou the best smiles and great memorable times. Recently I went to be the priesthood advisor at our stake girl's camp. We sat around the fire and talked for hours. I don't think I have that in me in any other setting. This was with people with whom my usual conversation has been something Like: "Hello Sister So and So. Good to see you. Is everybody in your family doing alright?" Reply:
"Ya were fine. How about you and yours?" "Doing well." End of conversation. At camp we could have talked for hours about all kinds of things and did. I loved it. Something about a fire and no phones, I beleive.
These pictures bring back SOOO many memories of all the summers I spent at camp as a kid- truly some of the best summers of my life! I love that your kids are getting those same memories!

I was missing you this morning and remembered these pix so I logged on to see you, Phil and the kids again. Just looks like you are all enjoying life! I really like the one of you and Gavin. I need you to tell me how (if possible) I can get these on my computer so I can print some of them! Love you so much, mom
My husband came home from University of Scouting today ready to take us all to Woodbadge family camp. I'm a little concerned though. My 8 and 6-year-olds would probably be fine, but I have a very shy 4-year-old, a slightly clingy 2-year-old and I will have twin 8-month-olds. Is family camp doable for us? I also worry that we will never see each other and it won't be much of a family vacation. Do the classes take up the whole day? What do you do at family camp when you're not in class?
