Camp

Sorry to be so late posting pictures of the retreat - we had a great time! There was still plenty of snow - the sessions and games and food were all great!

First up - I've stayed in several different themed rooms at the retreat center see...
The Serenity Room, The Garden Room and The Americana Room
the room for this weekend - the Scandia Room...

The room was painted a very dark navy (a little to dark for my taste - but a very cozy little room) with a little knitting corner...

Plain blond Scandinavian furniture...

There were two twin beds - each with a very fluffy duvet...

A gorgeous view of the lake as always...

The Campfire on Friday night...

I think 'Carpet Ball' is the hit of every retreat - it's just a long carpet covered box and five pool balls for each player - the white cue ball is used to try to knock the other players balls off the playing field - a really simple game and the kids can spend hours playing it - they really like to challenge their counselors and leaders...

Saturday was gorgeous and there was still enough snow for sledding on the big hill...

It was a great weekend...
