It has been a busy August! We just got back from homeschool family camp at Bair Lake Bible Camp . The week was amazing!
I’m not sure exactly why family camp is so great for us but I think a big part of it is that you are there to have fun as a family with no responsibilities! It’s great to be able to “play” all day with your kids and sometimes your husband too and not have to clean up, set up or cook dinner!
So what did we do? For the boys their favorite activity of the week would I’m sure be the paintball. The girls like the arts and crafts as well as the zip line and rock walls. This year they had a new indoor rock wall for us to try too! The big event for me was actually doing one of the rock walls myself! My husband did take pictures but I will spare you those as any of you know who have put those harness on know there is no way to look feminine in those things! But I did it, didn’t think I could but I did!!!!
Let’s see, we also participated in lots of games like scavenger type hunts as well as regular things like volleyball. There were also BB guns, archery, skeet shooting, canoeing, kayaking (my husband got REALLY wet doing this! LOL), BMX bikes, Mini-golf, swimming, Rocket launching, Eating (seemed like all the time and WAY too much, who says camp food is bad?) and probably a whole lot more I’m forgetting.
We’ve been to Bair Lake several times before for family camp but this was a first for the “homeschool” family camp. It was an added bonus to be with other homeschool families and have a homeschool speaker. I guess you could compare it to camp with the bonus of convention workshops! I got a lot out of that part which I’ll save for another blog.
So if you’re in MI, IN, OH and IL you should really check out this camp and maybe we’ll see you there next year!
