Family Camp

We had a terrific time at Camp Barakel Labor Day family camp! The weather was great, and chapel sessions good.

Beautiful Sheer Lake
The Zipline! It was a lot of fun once, but it wasn't worth the time it took to get all the gear on and walk all the way up.

Lots of fun can be found on the lake!!

Our family's favorite is the kayaks!

The nights there are beautiful! With no light pollution, the stars are amazing! Many nights though, the moon was so bright the stars were hard to see.

We did an A,B,C scavenger hunt, and B was "Bluegill". Though small, this bluegill fit the bill!!

Mom, geared up for the zipline!

Vince, happily kayaking.

Since we were on the East side, and everything else on the West side of camp, it was a half hour walk to get anywhere!

"Want some??"

The only marr was that on Saturday night, there was a teen ambush. We were playing "ultimate" hide-n-go-seek and Lydia ran down the hill, was stuck with a stick, and we had an hour drive to Greyling, 4 1/2 hour wait in the emergency room, and an hour drive back. It was a nightmare! We were exhausted on Sunday morning and late for chapel. I had a piercing headache, but towards the end of the day it went away.

We had a great time though, and it will definitely be remembered for a long time--both for the fun and nightmare!
