We are off to Girl Scout Camp: Part Three - Let the singing begin!

This post is a continuation from yesterday - We are off to Girl Scout Camp:  Part Two

So, the girls have been to camp for two days and all I have heard from them is "CAMP IS AWESOME!"  

The theme at camp this week is "cooking".  So, the arts & crafts that they do revolve around the fun of being in the kitchen.  So far, they have made chef hats, decorated spatulas and my older daughter made shishkabobs for lunch today!  

All of the counselors have "camp names".  How fun!  A few of the names that I have heard are Froggy, Glitzy, Sherlock, Booie, Whisper, Stomp, and Zappa.

They sing lots of songs!  The girls travel by bus to get to the swimming pool.  During the bus ride they sing fun camp songs.  There is one song in particular that seems to be their favorite.  It is called the Shark Song.  (see video)

As you can see from their cute little faces they are having a BLAST at Girl Scout Camp!

I wonder what tomorrow will bring?

Monday...
The morning started off well.  The girls got up but were a bit anxious at what they would encounter on their first day of camp.  
Since I had not been to Camp Mountain House before, I had to depend on GPS to get there.  I knew it was some place off of Route 78.  But this is a camp, surely it will be way off the beaten path somewhere, right?  

We head down Route 78 to the Summit Lawn Exit.  We come off the exit ramp and within minutes we are turning onto a stone driveway for Camp Mountain House.  I am amazed by all of the trees and nature!  It is hard to believe we are only a few minutes from the interstate!  

Camp Counselors & My Girls

We continue down the driveway and we are directed to an area where campers are being dropped off.  We meet two counselors who help the girls out of the car and begin the check-in process.  Within minutes, the girls are singing songs and playing games with a bunch of other campers.

Camp started at 9 a.m. and I was all ready heading back out to Route 78 by 9:03 a.m.  WOW!  Their check-in & drop-off process is extremely easy and very well organized!  

What a wonderful way to begin a week of camp!

We are off to Girl Scout Camp! Part One

I am SOOO excited! Why?  Well, my daughters start summer camp tomorrow!

As a kid I went to Camp Tohikanee, which is part of the Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania Camp Experience AND I loved every minute of it!

Tomorrow I will take them to Camp Mountain House, a wooded sanctuary located in Lehigh County minutes away from Allentown, which features shaded picnic areas and covered pavilions, spacious areas for outdoor activity, and three buildings for rainy-day fun.  All girls who attend Mountain House Day Camp (MHDC) will experience swimming on a daily basis, arts and crafts, cookouts, campfires, hikes, science, singing, games, archery (4th grade and up), and team building activities each week.

Each week has a theme so the activities will vary according to theme and girl’s choices. Girls are also divided into different swim groups and attend swimming at different times during the afternoon.

Here is the daily rundown...

7:30am: Extended Care
9:00am: Arrival
9:15am: Opening Flag Ceremony
9:30am: Arts & Crafts
11:15am: Arts & Crafts
12:30pm: Lunch/Swimming
2:30pm: Themed Activities
3:45pm: Closing Flag Ceremony
4:00pm: Departure
4:00pm: Extended Care

With all of that in mind, we are excited!  My girls are getting ready for bed as I type and their back packs are all packed and ready to go!  We have an exciting week ahead of us and I plan to keep you all updated.
