What an amazing first day at our Outdoor Camp! ☀️ Our campers had an action-packed day full of adventure and fun — from hitting bullseyes at the archery range 🎯 to conquering the rock wall like pros 🧗‍♂️. We hit the trails for a beautiful hike through nature 🌲, and even caught some crawdads 🦞! We ended the day with everyone's favorite activity - the POOL 🌊 And that’s just a glimpse — so many smiles, laughs, and unforgettable moments. Can’t wait to see what the rest of the week brings!
