Tuesday at Camp Heart Connection

While it was a little chilly and a little muddy at Camp today, we finally avoided the rain! All of the Camp activities were open and campers had a lot to do today.

The highlight of the day was in the afternoon when the ambulance drove to Camp from Blank Children's Hospital and the lifeflight helicopter flew into Camp and landed in the field. After both the ambulance and the helicopter arrived, campers were allowed to go inside both of the different modes of transportation (keeping with this week's travel theme - 'All Aboard!') to check things out. The campers loved talking to the medical professionals that came to visit and they asked a lot of questions.

After a delicious dinner, which consisted of BBQ'd chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, rolls and brownies, a few different activities opened up for the cabins. The crew from the Big Wheel Rally came up to Camp and brought a few of their custom big wheels for a big wheel race. There was a wild game of Capture the Flag on the field - campers vs. counselors, of course - which lasted for a few hours. Arts and Crafts opened up for a special night craft and a few of the younger cabins got to enjoy s'mores around the campfire!

Later this evening campers have the option of "camping out" in Pioneer Hall where the Disney movie "Cars" will be played. After the movie it's lights out so we can all get enough sleep for Wednesday!

Thanks for stopping by! Here are a few photos from the day:
