Last week Benjamin attended a 4H overnight camp, which had a medieval theme.  It was 3 nights up in the mountains and he had a blast.  I asked him his favorite part and he told me the dance!!!  I was shocked.  They have a dance on two different nights and you have to dance with at least 5 songs or they make you do dance with a counselor (they are high schoolers) in front of eveyone.  He was very relieved to find out the dance was swing/line dancing and not slow dancing.  I got excited and told him that we should practice so we could 'wow' everyone at the wedding in a few weeks.  He was not diggin' that!

The camp sits on this lake.

This was the group of kids.  Most of the camp is student led, which is one thing I love about 4H...big on leadership.  I am hoping that Benjamin will stay involved and become involved in all the high school leadership programs they have.  (Benjamin was behind his shield, so don't even spend time looking for him :-) )

This was a catapult they used.

This is the dragon swing.  Two people would lay down on their stomach and a small tractor would pull them back.  Then they swing through the forest.

He had a great time and is hoping to talk Jacob into going next year.   Between this camp and the Awana camp that Ben goes to in August, all of my boys have great camping opportunities.  It is also nice because everyone goes the same week, so it is for all ages!
