Nature Week: A Day in the Wild (Part 2)

At Camp Haven yesterday we had a blast on our mini camping adventure to Portola State Park, and here is the second video that we took on the trip.

We found this creek when we went on our afternoon hike, and the kids had a blast in the water. It started as a simple wading idea, just taking our socks and shoes off, but the kids had other ideas (including swimming). It turned out great, all the kids had changes of clothes, and it was the campers favorite part of the day!

Malia, Connie, Laura, Lisa, and Helen all came with us on the trip, and without them we would have been lost! We took 40 kids on the trip (including kids from our other Shelter Network family site - First Step for Families), and we needed all the chaperone's we could get! Thanks so much, and stay tuned for museums!
