I am heading back to last year right around this time when my friend Becky and I took her twins and my daughter to Camp MOM. I never got around to sharing these 2 pictures, so I am doing it now.
I did however share a bunch of other pictures and projects from Camp MOM and you can see them all in a nice list here:
- Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Campground (where we went)
- DIY Camp Lanterns (project #1)
- Glam'd Up Flip Flops (project #2)
- Banana Cone Smores
We also make Camp MOM shirts from plain t-shirts and puffy paint, did a bunch of cooking outdoors, went hiking and canoeing, played at the park and went swimming at the lake.
We did all this together because I dropped the ball last year on getting my daughter signed up for her first overnight camp (which she decided against this year) and so I decided to create a "Camp Experience" for her complete with all the crafts and activities and bunkmates that going to an overnight camp offers.
I like the pictures you shared of you and your friends daughters going to camp. The camp sounds like it was a lot of fun for the girls.
ReplyDeleteI went to summer camp several times as a child and I always had an amazing time. Ah the memories. I always went to girl scout camp and loved going to the one in New Mexico the best. One summer I was gone for three weeks, one to New Mexico and two weeks to the camp about an hour or so from our hourp
ReplyDeleteI hope they enjoyed camp last year.
That's such a great idea, especially for those who can't afford summer camps! Love!
ReplyDeleteYou are so my type of mom. I do so much of these kind of crafts/events with my nieces and nephews and sometimes a few friends. I want them to have great experiences as children to take into their young lives. I know your crew had a great week!
ReplyDeleteI think this was a great idea. I was sent off to camp quite a few times and just did not like it at all--I always made friends but I would have preferred staying home and pretended I was in camp!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter just did two camps this year---both with out me and honestly I think she enjoyed it --but I think these sound wonderful! Maybe we'll look into one for next summer =)
ReplyDeleteI love your idea and it is very creative. It is quality time with the kids. Thanks for sharing. Awesome pictures by the way.
