Since I got married more than six years ago, my wife and I started to camp in the Adirondack State campgrounds every August. It has always been a good month because its the summer season winding down and that means less insects (especially black flies), cooler and more comfortable nights, and more stable weather (less humid, less likely to rain).
After becoming involved in youth ministry at church, August has also become the month of choice for camping because its usually after major traveling down my missionary groups and other church events. This year because my son, Adrian, was born in June it would have been too difficult to bring a 1.5 month old child into the wilderness. Therefore my wife and kids visited family while I went on a camping trip with the youth group. Overall it was a fun week with a pretty busy schedule of events everyday.
Monday: Set up day
Tuesday: Water Safari / Kayaking Moose River
Wednesday: Hiking Blue Mountain
Thursday: Tough Limekilner Race (created by me) with grand prize $$ on the table
Friday: Free day for any activities around camp (which ended up being a lot of volleyball and jet sking)
Other fun activities throughout camp included just relaxing by the bonfire, reading a book, having devotions everyday after lunch, and going into town for ice cream)
This years attendance was 24 people total throughout most of the 6 days of camp.
GOOD TURN OUT FOR YOUTH CAMP 2013!!!
