Wow, what a week! If we hadn't already been feeling extremely busy, jam-packed with activity, and full of campers here at Lazy F, we sure felt that way this past week! Lazy F had the good fortune of hosting about 45 campers throughout the week and thoroughly enjoyed it. The camp was full of laughter, many screams of joy, and pure excitement during the week. Even when campers were so exhausted from all of their fun, they still managed to get pumped for another day!
We had another set of Jr. Wranglers this week who enjoyed the same structure as the precious Wranglers. There were more this week than the week before and the campers had a great time getting to know one another, bonding as a group, and enjoying horse-related activities together. The week had awesome weather for the ranch, allowing the campers to greatly enjoy their time at the ranch on the horses, as well as the luxurious pool! Every day the campers came back to Lazy F reporting that they had successfully learned to trot, canter, participate in some obstacles, and ride the trails around the ranch. Many campers showed great improvement from day one to the last day, even when their horse was about 4 times the size of them! The success of their week was extremely obvious in their constant joy shown on their faces. To end the week, the Wrangler had a special tie-dye party in the craft cabin, special to only their camp. At the party, we continued to hear a lot of joyful noise (with a special thanks to party noise-makers!).
At the same time the Wranglers were wranglin' it up, the Jr. High were surrounded with activity and fun at Lazy F. The week began with low course elements and initiatives, some Balloon Mania, high course elements and climbing, the Guinness Record Races (which included a lot of mess), a Barn Dance, rafting on the Yakima River, the return of the Lazy F 500, afternoon electives around camp, and a talent show to wrap it all up! In their spare time, campers got to know their cabin groups through Bible Encounter times, working through the curriculum and learning how they can Be A Hero. They also spent time in Structured Cabin Group Activities, which ranged from more low course initiatives, to archery, to having a party in the cabin (complete with painting their nails), coloring with chalk around the sidewalks at camp, to tubing down the creek! Campers also experienced an awesome hike to the cross on their last evening, experiencing really special stations along the way that allowed for serious reflection and learning.
Although the week was extremely jam-packed and did not allow for much relaxation, Lazy F felt truly blessed with the awesome campers, and the counselors and staff were sad to see them go! This week will be the conclusion to what has been an incredible summer at Lazy F. We will go out with a bang with the Sr. High camp and Mid-High Wranglers. Let the 60-camper week begin!!
