This past weekend we had our overnight summer camp at Camp Nebowa! 🏕️
We started the day off splitting into two teams: Team Reilly & Team Troy! The first group (Team Reilly) headed over to the archery🏹 while the second group (Team Troy) built and painted bird houses🏠! After around 45 minutes we swapped activities. After being done with archery and bird houses, we headed into the dining hall for some yummy sandwiches🥪, chips, water melon🍉, & pickles🥒! After lunch we then split the campers into 3 groups: group 1 started with an outdoor scavenger hunt🔍, group 2 went kayaking🛶, & group 3 stayed in the dining hall and did crafts🖌️. After each group was done we rotated through so everyone got a chance to do all three activities! After wrapping up the activities, we headed to the pool! After swimming for about an hour and a half, everyone was starving, so we headed over to Pizza Hut for some pizza and breadsticks😋! When we got back to camp, some of the campers wanted to take showers after being in the pool. After our little break we got the fire started and made some delicious s’mores! After it started getting a little darker, we headed into the dining hall for movie night! We popped some popcorn🍿 and watched Hoppers, which was a big hit! After a long day of having fun our campers were tired, so we all headed to bed. In the morning, everyone came into the dining hall to get some donuts🍩 and juice🧃! Our campers said goodbye around 9 am and we were so sad to see them go, but were happy they had such a fun time!😊
Thank you to all parents and kiddos that made Camp Nebowa happen this year, we can’t wait for next year!
Thank you to Troy Nichols and Reilly Loyd for being such great helpers!
We would also like to thank the owners of the Nebowa Christian Camp for allowing us to use their facilities to hold our overnight camp!

The past couple of weeks we held our last day camps for the summer🥲These camps were both the same, but held in two separate locations.
On July 29th, we headed over to the St. John’s Methodist Church over in Mapleton for our K-3 Pave Your Path & Ocean Explorers camps!
During the first half of the day, we read Rainbow Sheep, as well as, The Three Little Pigs! The campers learned all about what needle felting was & even got to make their own movie, The Three Little Frogs!🐸
On August 6th, we held our K-3 Pave Your Path & Ocean Explorers camps in Onawa at the Extension Office. During the first half of the day we read Rainbow Sheep, as well as, The Three Little Pigs! The campers got to learn about needle felting & also made their own movie called The Three Little Cats!🐱
Let’s just say at the end of both Pave Your Path camps, the kids enjoyed it so much that they wanted to get supplies to do it at home! (sorry parents!)😅
During the second half of the day, we got to work with LEGOs which they absolutely loved! They first started out designing and creating their own mazes and showed each other how it worked. We then read The Magic School Bus On The Ocean Floor! 🌊They learned all about the different zones of the ocean: sunlight, twilight, & midnight! They were then given one ocean animal card which they had to build out of LEGOs! We then split into groups to each complete a different mission! The first group built a submarine, the second group created a coral reef, and the third group built a floating platform (research station)! We wrapped the day up showcasing our creations! 🤗
