Camp Weekend

This weekend the AHDs, Jon and Alex were at camp with our new Hall Council Executive Boards learning names, programing, meeting facilitation, and fund-raising. It was a beautiful but HOT weekend and all in all I am so excited for the upcoming year with my Exec-Board and all of their great energy. 

 

Plus Camp Yamhill is simply gorgeous. In the Oregon wine country and completely cut off from cell phones and internet. 

 

Unfortunately  Jacque did not like the venture too much and now is a sad little Jeep with broken parts.So he's going and getting fixed today hopefully. All I know is I'm bringing plenty of things to do/catch up with to the dealership while I wait for him.

So here is hoping.

Home Away from Home

My father recently purchased this little beauty. There is a kitchen, full bathroom with shower, and a good size bed in this little Scamp as well as the awning to place chairs under during hot days. So excited to take it to the beach next summer for some long weekends. 

I'm hoping it gets a paint job like this one:

And the inside needs a little work, but once it's done it'll be much better than setting up a tent.

My Kind of Camping

As the summer is slowly coming to a close (at least for some of us in the way of free time and having to get back to work) I would really love to at least attempt to go camping before school starts- I realize this means SOON, like this weekend. But if I go, I want to go in style.

So this may be from a wedding blog, but who wouldn't want to camp like this? Just because it's rustic does not mean it can't be pretty. A more realistic version of this would probably involve hurricane candles in hanging lanterns, but this looks so pretty.

I first saw this on pintrest and it sparked my interest in hanging tents. This looks so comfy and much warmer that sleeping on the ground. A take on the hammock that I won't fall out of.

I probably would have camped a lot more as a child if this had been an option. I love the fun colors and the nod to 1950's cabanas at the beach, plus it looks easy to hang/assemble. Yes please.

I'm trying to imagine this with some Anthropologie bed linens and you have my perfect backyard oasis.

While this would make me nervous climbing in, I love the look and idea. Probably as close to a nest as any of us will get, but so cozy. If it had a more sturdy tarp over it, it could be reading nook outside in all weather.  

RA Camp

Just got back from a fun weekend getting to know the RAs at camp! Camp Kuratli is a Salvation Army camp somewhere in the woods that we go to every year to kick off RA training, play games, share talents, laugh, and bond. I still cannot find my camera's extra battery nor the battery charger, my guess is that they are together, so while I have found my camera it's currently dead. We did get our first staff picture though- coming soon.

Highlight of the trip was the impromptu dance party that happened at talent show/bon fire night. Way to go all you lone nuts and first followers. Social Justice Leadership at it's finest. 

All in all a fun weekend but excited to sleep in my own bed tonight! (Not that Sarah Kenney isn't a great roomie)

XOXO.
