Author: Troop 1

I slept well last night, dreaming of the amazing hamburgers we had for dinner, and small-headed antelope. At 5 am this morning I looked out of my bunk, and I thought I saw Rocky the raccoon on the picnic table. I knew that little critter would make a huge mess and we would have to clean it up.

After our victories over Troop 2 in basketball and frisbee yesterday, we celebrated into the evening, and when it was time for bed I am sure everyone slept well. I think the campsite was quiet the earliest it has been so far – maybe midnight!

Remember when mom woke us all up in the middle of the night because a cockroach crawled on her pillow? She screamed so loud we all rushed out of bed. Even Wolfie started howling. Well, that happened 3 times last night!

At about 9 o’clock last night, we all gathered around Mr. Satterfield by the campfire, and he read us a bedtime story about a family of cute bears who have a picnic in the woods with their friends, the raccoons. We then took turns brushing our teeth, said our prayers, and then went straight to bed. We were happily asleep by 10 o’clock. 

Dear Mom and Dad,
It’s been a fantastic day! We’ve done so much. It seems so long ago that we were at church. I was so excited about camp that I didn’t really listen to what Rev. Walton said…
