Lodge Week 2018

Lodge week kicked off for Mason last Sunday.  He stayed in Brebeuf in the Boxer cabin.  We spotted Mason on Bunk 1 really hamming it up when he knew the camera was on him.  Carrying the water baby on the all day hike with Will Playing games with Bella and others at Kane Lake Chilling […]

Two Kids :: Two Airports

Our day started off very early at the Evansville Airport where we dropped off Walker to catch his first flight with a final destination of Costa Rica.  His travels today would take him from EVV to Dallas to Miami to San Jose, Costa Rica.  Having TSA pre-check meant that he had literally no time in […]

Gramma and Papa picked up Mason on Friday and they headed off to their new house in Orange County.  Thanks to group efforts, I was able to capture these highlights from the week: Saturday, July 14, 2018 Having breakfast with Auntie Laynie and Sophia Watching a Young Sheldon marathon as well as Hotel Transylvania Attending […]

Always a Climber

Walker’s second week of adventure camp was climbing.  This adventure camp was locally based so they spent a few days at the beginning of the week learning the fundamentals of climbing before heading out.  Monday they practiced bouldering and top-roping at Pakentuck and a camp photographer followed them out.   Tuesday they did single-pitch and […]

A Dry Celebration

What a week at camp! It rained a lot and Mason was a little soggy when we picked him up.  Bunk 1 highlights showed that Mason spent a lot of time in the gaga pit. This mud shot has a story, I’m sure.  On Mason’s 13th birthday, he wore a great big smile. Challenge and […]

Boys’ Week

For the last few years, Mason has chosen to spend his birthday at Camp Ondessonk.  For boys’ week, he usually chooses Chabanel, a unit reserved for girls the other weeks of summer.  Its claim to fame is that it’s carved into the rocks and sometimes a waterfall flows. The Sunday afternoon drop off was quick […]

Ransburg Recap

Welcome to camp! These boys were ready for fun.  Bill kindly sent back lots of pictures and updates while he was there.  The scouts raised and lowered the flags at their campsite, Dogwood Back, each day. They stay in permanent tents like this. To give an idea of the size of the camp, this is […]
