Alaska Homeschool

I am ready for this

So I am really not an outdoorsy type gal.  I love my paved roads, running water, electricity, bug screens on windows.  I am a home body.  So you know I am ready for summer if I am actually looking forward to a few camping trips this summer.  I am becoming a true Alaskan woman.  Who knew?

Another thing I am looking forward to this summer is volunteering as camp nurse at http://www.solidrockbiblecamp.com/ a few of their sessions.  This will be my first time to ever be a camp nurse, so it will be interesting.  This camp is three hours South of us.  My two eldest attended last year and lvoed it.  After they attended, I found out they have a terrible time finding camp nurses willing to volunteer.  So I figured, why not??  I am volunteering during two sessions that my daughters will attend as campers and my little 3 year old man can tag along with me. Fun, fun!

Okay, I see that you must have spring fever! I like to camp, but it is hard work with four kids - packing, setting up, cooking over the fire, being bitten by mosquitos! I found it much more enjoyable before kids! Oh well. I'm glad you are able to enjoy the beauty around you.

Thank you so much for your comment to me - it makes me want to pack up and move to Alaska in the spring. When will it start warming up for you? Any good jobs around there for a jack of all trades, master of none?!

Oh yeah,

I meant also to comment on the camp nurse thing. My dh used to be the program director of a camp in Illinois. I acted as camp nurse several times. It is fun. My kids weren't old enough to be campers back then. I hope to do the same thing this year so they can go to camp, but I haven't gotten any response yet to my inquiries. Do you have any medical background?

How is the Housework mentoring thing going? Has it been worth the cost? It sounds like a really neat program.

Did you get your camping in? I forget, where are you living? Did you come to the Mat-Su? Feel free to call me anytime you are in the area! How did you camp nurse thing work out?
