Camp Roger

Claire with two of her camp counselors.
I remember swimming in this pond 28 years ago!
Ben was quite fascinated by the turtles.
Erin loved the snakes, particularly this boa constrictor named "Kaa".

This past week Claire spent 3 days/2 nights at Camp Roger which is a Christian camp about 20 minutes north of Grand Rapids. She went with her buddy Sarah and had a blast! They did crafts, swam, played games, etc., all the things that 8 year olds love to do. She loved being able to sleep on a top bunk and came home having learned a bunch of new songs and games. When we picked her up Claire showed us around a little bit, and it brought back many memories of my trip to Camp Roger when I was 9. I went with a friend who was homesick and constipated the whole week, so my experience wasn't the greatest. I remember being really relieved when my mom came to get me. I'm happy to say Claire's 1st camp experience was much better!
