AdVill Home to Camp Early!

08/19/2011

Our Adventure Village group is back on camp tonight instead of sleeping over at Merrell’s Pavillion. Due to some severe thunderstorms hitting our area this afternoon/evening our group headed back to camp a night early. Although disappointed they weren’t able to go to Merrell’s tonight, they had an absolute blast over at the farm. They had a chance to feed the new baby goats (just three weeks old!), pet the llama, hold the rabbit and chase the chickens. On top of all that, they played a game called “Popcorn King” in which teams compete to make the most popcorn in a set time period. They have certain tasks they need to complete and must “buy” items in order to make their popcorn. They earn this money by doing a variety of activities from dancing to singing to answering trivia questions.

Tonight they will be doing a camp-in at the Castle where they will participate in a challenge night before laying down sleeping bags for the evening.

Pictures from the Farm hike will be up late tonight or first thing tomorrow morning – stay tuned!!
