Rain and other Autumn fun!




Wow! I can't believe it has been a month since we posted. Where does the time go? We have been busy around camp getting everything put to bed and hosting groups. September is a busy month for us. We hosted our local Junior High School for a 2 day retreat. The kids focused on team building and learning effective study and organization skills as they approach their high school years. We followed the Junior High with a group of Hang Gliders who spend the weekend flying and talking about flying. Next comes Pixie and Hannah Baber's group of friends who camp with their Leonbergers (a large breed dog), then the Patriot's Day Ride. The Patriot's Day Ride is a 2 day event. 25 and 50 mile rides are offered each day. The horses and riders start here at camp and follow trails that take them all over the surrounding mountains and countryside. We had a fantastic turn out this year, 100 riders each day. These photos are of the meadow and lower cabin area full of campers and trailers!
It was another busy fall. Now, we are on to putting camp to sleep for the winter. The rain storm this weekend was wonderful. It made everything smell fresh and clean and knocked down the dust. Craig got the skate ramp covered and most of the other weather sensitive stuff put away. Now it's on to turning off water, and covering things with plastic. I know you are all jealous.
Next post, I will update on Greenville High Volleyball and the rest of the fun things we do in the fall.
