Girl Scouts at Camp Mosey Wood

Anisa and her Girl Scout Troop went to Camp Mosey Woods in the Poconos for two days. They did archery, rowing, arts and craft and a bonfire. Karen Fortune, the troop leader, got everything arranged and with two other parents (Kathy Douglas and I), we set off with six girls. We had Michelle join us the next day with two more girls. The Camp was awesome with tents set up on a fantastic wooden deck. There was even a shower house with all the amenities, bonfire pits, a dining hall and a lake. The weather could have been a little better in evenings when it invariably rained and the temperature was bone chilling, but we it kept the bugs away. It was totally fun!

We arrived at the camp late at night and found very nice tents pitched on an elevated deck. This spot was set apart from the rest other sites and we had it all to ourselves. Anisa, Annie and I shared this tent. Annie is already in her mummy sleeping bag rated to -400 deg. She sure kept herself warm which we were ver jealous off at 3 o' clock in the morning when the weather turned frigid!
Our cot configuration, which of course the girls had to completely rearrange.
The next morning, the car windows became mirrors for getting the hair brushed. The tents in the background were the same layout as ours and were unoccupied.
The troop in the dining hall. One person was designated the "Hopper" and brought the food out.
So happy to get breakfast on Saturday moning.

The archery instructor. The noise in the dining room was deafening so we could not really hear anything besides "don't point it at anyone".

Next to the dock. The dockmaster was very entertaining and did a got job getting the message to the kids without being mean.
Anisa wants to know which boat to take. We decided to take a paddle boat.

Annie and Anisa decided to braid some of the water lillies. Of course this had to be done secretly so the dockmaster would not come over and yell at us for putting our hands in the water.
The day was simply beautiful.
Kathy and Alice share something amusing...probably laughing at us in the paddle boat.
We run into Kathy's boat and try to board them.
