Backpacking the Idaho State Line Trail

Soon after arriving in Montana, we split into our teams to go on a backpacking trip on the Idaho State Line Trail. I am a part of the gold team that is complete with four of us girls and five guys. We hiked a couple of miles and made a summit on our first day. The picture with all of us girls was my first summit. It was a very foggy day, which made it difficult to see the rest of the mountains surrounding the area.

Rebel Strike

During the summer we play a variety of crazy games with kids. One of those games includes the "Rebel Strike." This game includes throwing diapers at a reactor core (bottle atop a bucket), in order to knock out the core. The catch is that Darth Vader is guarding the reactor core and his troops (other campers) are standing along the sidelines. These troops along the sideline can throw a diaper which takes the person trying out.

Summer Afternoons

Summer is time for camp. Camp is a place of friends, fun, sun....and canteen. Here are some photos from 3rd and 4th grade week of camp.
