Here is are a few pictures of Coale playing.

Skylark

Last Friday I came back from girl scout camp. ( Skylark) It was AWESOME!! I went with 6 friend to a high ropes specialized unit.  

Day 1

 

     The first day we did round robin, round robin is another name for a tour around the camp. Then our unit hiked up to our campsite to set up tents. We had three tents for 21 people.When were setting up the tents our unit discovered that 1 of the 3 tents didn't have poles. So we had to get a new tent.

Day 2

      On day 2 we did high ropes and challenge corse. In challenge corse we did a whole bunch of different challenges (some on ropes). In high ropes I did what was called incomplete bridge. the incomplete bridge is basically a bridge with a few planks missing in between 2 planks so you have to stretch to get to the next plank.

Day 3 

On day three we had a 3 hour car drive to another girl scout camp (camp Bothin). At camp both the camp went zip lining. Then we did a 3 hour car drive back.

Day 4 

    The 4th day we did art and high ropes. In art the theme was crazy hair. In high ropes we did course, called Double Trouble. In Double Trouble you are on a tightrope with a rope to hold on to. On the other side of the tightrope is your partner. So the goal is to walk half way across the tightrope and switch ropes with your partner. Then walk to the other side.

Day 5

       The 5th day my unit did archery, tie die, skit planning and high ropes. During high ropes we did 2 different courses the first on was giants ladder. In giants ladder you had a partner and you and your partner would work together to get to the top. Since the rungs of the ladder kept getting further and further apart. The second one was called the leap of faith. All you do is climb up a tree and and on to a ledge and jump off and every one belays you.

Day 6 (last day)

On the last day we learned our counselors real names. ( the counselors make up nick name and you get to learn their real name at the end of camp). We got on the bus and left.
