Big girl Amelia could hardly wait to go to sleep away camp this year. She was counting the days and when it finally arrived she was beyond excited! Amelia's bunk buddy was Lizzie. Amelia had seven girls in her cabin and her counselor. We choose Twin Lakes camp in Jackson, MS because it has a great long-standing reputation and a beautiful Christian focus. The theme this year was Jonah and the campers learned all about God's faithfulness through songs, devotions, prayers and skits.

Ocean Springs friends off to camp!
These are all pictures from Amelia's camera now. This is the waterfront. There is a big waterslide, a tube slide you can see through the trees, a giant water trampoline, a blob (a big air bag that flings a child out into the water when another child jumps on the other end) and the iceberg, which they climb and conquer. The camp also had a pool that the kids did water activities.

Amelia's cabin! Activities for the week also included Princess Warrior, archery, treehouse time, shooting rifles, zipline, ropes course, Sundae night and so much more.
The treehouse is a big hit.
To get to the treehouse you have to pull yourself using these ropes while you sit on a raft!
Well deserved hammock time at the treehouse.
Wilderness Adventure.
Great picture Mimi! This was on top of the lookout tower!
Pick up day! I was so excited to see these sweet faces!
My mimi!
Driving home the three hours with these two, what a treat! They talked they entire way about all of their adventures and fun. They adored every second (zip line was both of their favorites). We'll be back Twin Lakes!
