We were very sad to see our homesteaders leave us this morning (Shout-Out to my cabin H11!), but still looking forward to tomorrows central event, all next week with our Pioneer/Pathfinders and the new Taste of Campers.
Fun fact about me: I LOVE LISTS. What my project was for this week was to write down one really fun thing that each cabin did for each day. Below is a list of these activities from Tuesday through Friday, please let me know what you think in the comment section! (Also for all you Homestead parents, ask your camper about what they did because they can tell you more than I can!)
