Fall Guide Camp 2018

Darcy and I went to Fall Guide camp this weekend.

What an AMAZING weekend. This was just Darcy's Guide unit, not the whole district.

Thursday helping make the bedroll.

beautiful spot

camp challenges

Our bathroom for the weekend

washing stations

Setting up. Each tent group was responsible for setting up and taking down their tent. 

Making lunch. The girls did virtually all the cooking. For some meals, like this one, each girl cooked her own food over the fire. For other meals each tent group took a shift preparing, cooking, or cleaning up a meal. 

ditty bags contain each girl's dishes for the weekend.

making dessert.

One banana, skin slices open lengthwise, adde some mini marshmallows and chocolate chips, wrap in foil and heat by the fire. DELICIOUS!

Darcy's turn to clean the bathroom.

Our cantine

Making S'mores

Observatory

So glad our new neighbour joined Girl Guides and got to spend her first year in the same unit as Darcy!

Night lights. We heard coyotes in the distance at  night. 

Good morning!



we walked a lot!

cute



Arts n's crafts

Instead of each girl washing her own dishes after each meal like at district camp, each tent took a shift to wash all the dishes after one meal.

Just a wee bit of stuff to take home (3 girls, plus me).

We had a wonderful time on the beautiful property, lots of games, gadgets, crafts and free time for the girls to explore, too. A wonderful weekend of irreplaceable experiences, learning and friendships.

All set for our weekend! I went along as a Helper Mom

How I got my Guider name: Daisy

A group of approx 40 girls and 6 women went camping for the weekend.

Beautiful surroundings!

A challenge?

Ditty bags contain each camper's dishes and utensils for the weekend, washed after each meal and placed back in the bag to dry.

The Girls decorated their buffs with Sharpies and rubbing alcohol to get a patterned effect.

swimming and boating! A camping favorite!

We gathered in front of this rock/cliff face the final morning to distribute camp badges and crests.


To put it in perspective, here is the same rock with the tops of a couple heads in the pic. I won’t post the full pic for privacy reasons.
