it only took us 3 years to be ready to let him go to camp, it was his choice and I knew the moment he expressed a desire to join the group, I would agree. There were children in the group as young as 7 (the min. age requirement to be invited) and as old as 17 (the max. age to attend).
I was anxious and nervous last Saturday when we dropped him off but I relaxed by Sunday morning when I saw the first photos posted. There were photos posted at the end of every day and that was very comforting.
The awards ceremony and the good byes was very emotional, the youngest girl was crying because she didn't want to go home and she didn't want it to end..
There were crowds and crowds of children and adults. Besides the fun we had, we scored on new helmets, the sponsors -Kohls- were promoting bike safety and handing out free helmets to the kids and adults after a brief lecture on how to protect the brain from a fall.
The new helmet came in handy now that the half of the way to get home has to be on the bike and the scooter.
Go back and check out the photos from the event. Have fun and come back, don't forget the log on information!
