We were all excited for YW Camp at Camp Kiwanis in Silver Springs, FL. The first day Lizzy, Mom and Brother Johanson went out to scout out a new route for the 4th year hike. It is extremely hot out and threatening to rain but we are ready to go:
We headed to places we have never been before:
This tree is amazing!
We followed mamma bear and baby bear tracks for a couple of miles!:
It was a long hike, over 5 miles, so we will have to alter it for the actual 4th year hike.
Mom and Rachel are in the 4th year cabin this year:
The activities are under way! Lizzy is an awesome YCL (Youth Camp Leader) and helps run the activities at camp.
We had an art class:
