Clear Creek 2010

These ladies spent 5 days and 4 nights at Clear Creek last week. It is an outdoor education camp that our school district offers kids going in to the 6th grade. The camp is about an hour and 15 minutes away-near the town of Scofield. This was Emerson's first experience away from home with no family members!
Here they are on the bus.
This was their camp mascot. I forgot his name.
These are all the girls in Emerson's cabin. She started out the week in a different cabin but got moved to this cabin so she could be with Madeline who got really homesick. And I think she got Emerson really homesick. But they made it through the week and had a really good time in between all the homesickness! Emerson was even "crowned" Miss Clear Creek--which is a pretty big distinction. The whole camp votes on that person they think was most helpful and kind to others during the whole week. And Emerson got the most votes. I even got a voice mail from the camp director, Mr. Harris, who said Emerson was a joy to have at camp. She took so many pictures (214 to be exact)! So we may have to have a follow-up post with more accurate descriptions of the pictures from Emerson.
