Kids Camp in My City

.

Well, Kids Camp in my STATE anyway.

I spent last week being a counselor in a cabin of ten girls at Kids Camp.


Welcome to Assembly Park Bible Camp on the shores of Lake Minnesuing. Such a pretty little spot buried deep in the northwoods of Wisconsin.


The camp office and chapel basking in the warm sunshine. This warm sunshine appeared about an hour before we headed home on Friday.


Picturesque cottage just above the shore.


Campers enjoying a frolic in the barely thawed lake water. This old counselor didn't frolic. Tuesday there was a little sun and the temperatures hovered around 70.

That didn't last.

Here's what we had outside our cabin door ALL DAY LONG on Wednesday:


Jemima Puddle Duck would have LOVED this.


And did I happen to mention in my "whining" long-title-post on Wednesday that the high temperature for the day was 54? Well, just in case I didn't - - - the HIGH temperature on Wednesday was 54.


Many of the hardy "penguins" at camp swam and played out in the cold, cold rain.

Not THIS chick. I curled up inside, as much as I could, and TRIED to stay warm. I found it very difficult to get warm with soaking wet socks and dripping jean hems.

Here's what some of the (anonymous) "penguins" did after they came in out of the cold, cold rain:


Burrowed under their sleeping bags trying to thaw their blood - - - mess optional.


Sat on their bunks reading - - - dripping bathing suit over head optional.


Made themselves cozy sleeping bag hide-aways - - - wet towel trim optional.


Stood around in their wet jeans, shoes, sweat shirts,


Jackets and hoodies - - - shivering mandatory!
