15th Burlington Hawaii In Winter Camp

On January 20 we made our trip down to Camp, witch was in the theme of Winter in Hawaii, though it turned out to be more of a winter in mud. This was 15th Burlington’s all section camp theme for this year. We started the night by hiking in our gear and packs. The first years and second years stayed in the older Adirondack while the seniors and girls stayed in the double one. We had crackers and hot chocolate as we sat in the misty rain waiting for a fire to start. Then lights out at 11:30 and just in time because a heavy rain set in.

In the morning we woke up to a snow covered land, but over the day blue skies and the sun made an appearance and turned the snow ground back to mud. We set up activities after we had a good meal. The obstacle course was spread out on the back side of Rotary field by council rock. It contained, a scuba diving match up game, finding your way threw hot lava blindfolded, a coconut toss in silly Hawaiian grass skirts, Chicken limbo and more. Other events in the field were volley ball and surfing. The day went by quickly with lot of smiles. For snack we had cookies and juice then back to the fun and games.

After the activities it was time to back up the field and get ready for the big dinner. We were given leis and seated our selves to wait upon a delicious turkey, and boy was it good. We also had vegetables, ham, potato’s and cranberry sauce and not to mention lots of gravy. After the main course we had Hawaiian decorated cake and fruit cups.

Then it was time to gather around the camp fire and enjoy the day’s meal and fun. Here we listen to scouts, own sung songs and watched skits. After campfire we went and had mug up. Then we ended our long day with sleep.

Sunday morning a select few scouts cooked breakfast for the beavers and scouts. We had bacon, sausage and pancakes. Then we headed back to the Adirondack to pack up our stuff. Or lunch we aye in the Mac lodge. We gad hotdogs, pop and chips. Soon our parents were there to pick us up. All in all it was a good camp, I looking forward for the Carlisle camp.
