June - too big for 1 post....Twilight Cub Scout Camp

Wow! June was just full of adventures!!!

RTC loves Cub Scouts. He's in 2 packs...so in early June he chose to go to Cub Scout Day Camp with his pack from church. He was the only Webelo, but that didn't stop him! I think since this was his last year to be able to go to day camp, he wanted to do as much as he could.

Here are some of the highlights. The theme was "Up in the Sky" so it was all about planes, rockets, and really anything that flies.

They made rockets, planes, colored frisbees, etc.

They propelled rockets with Alkaseltzer, water, and air. 

He passed his swim test which I think gave him a bit of confidence to pass the one at Residence Camp.

One day they made the phases of the moon with Oreos. This one just decided to put all the filling together!!! What a crazy boy!!!

There were also special guests on a couple of nights. These guys joined us on day 1. The boys were pretty excited!!!



OKC PD's helicopter joined us one evening too! The boys enjoyed seeing the officers.

All in all I think it was a great way to end our day camp experience!

Cub Scout Day Camp

7 years ago when a small, skinny, little bit of a boy was placed in my arms in the hospital I tried to think of all the cool stuff he'd get to experience and learn. Last week was one of those cool experiences for him and his dad. That's right it was his first ever Cub Scout Day Camp!

He swam,

played games,

made crafts,

learned how to shoot a bow & arrow,

(Bullseye!!!! 2 actually - what a way to build self confidence!!!)

shot off rockets,

5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1

B L A S T O F F!!

and learned how to shoot a BB gun.

They were grateful it wasn't nearly as hot as it was in 2011. What fun for both of the Copeland boys!!! They both are looking forward to next year!
