We joined the rest of the family in taking granddaughter Lia to camp for her first extended camping experience on Sunday afternoon. The camp is charming! It looked like a Old West hamlet in an old fashioned Western movie. Before she left, Lia was outfitted with a cowgirl hat and boots. She's looking forward to the horseback riding and animal care. The camp has not only horses but goats, cows, pigs, as well as some more exotic varieties. Lia was accompanied by three of her good friends, and the girls were all assigned to the same bunkhouse, which is a replica of a chuck wagon. On Sunday night after we got back home, all of us said we'd love to be flies on the wall to see those girls on their first night at sleep-away camp!

Ohmigosh...can't you imagine the fun they will have at the Horse Palace...and much to learn at the School House. Their bunkhouse looks similar to the one I stayed in at camp in Loveland CO: WaNaKa :*) I must mail a photo to you of me in my cowgirl duds before getting on the train. Super pictures as usual. A neat opportunity for Lia.
ReplyDeleteThat little camp looks precious. Susan B.
ReplyDeleteLia's western camp reminds me of going to Cheley Camps near Estes Park, CO when I was 12. Later, I attended Skyland Camp near Crested Butte,
ReplyDeleteCO. I loved the mountains then and love them now. I think camp will foster a real love of the outdoors. A love of horses, too, hopefully. The smell of a horse. One of my favorite things.
Oh, this is wonderful! Lia looks so happy, and the setting is such a fun way to enjoy the horsey, farm-like, Western atmosphere. I know she will have lots of stories to tell and, yes, Locke will be on pins and needles to go to camp too.
