After all of Timmy’s camping adventures, Samantha decided that she wanted to go back for more camping as well. The only option open to her was a 5 night camp by herself. She decided that she was okay with that so we signed her up for a session called Mess Fest. We tried to get her into the horse camp but it was full. Nathan and I dropped Samantha off the day after her birthday. She was placed in the Jasmine tent…

We helped Samantha make her bed and made sure she was settled in and waited around until another girl in her tent showed up before we left her for the week. Here is Samantha sitting on her bed….

I packed two disposable cameras for Samantha but her picture taking skills were not that great. We also packed the extra cell phone for her but where they would allow her to have it they did not have coverage and they wouldn’t let her walk around to an area that had cell coverage so we didn’t hear from her all week. I think that part was harder on me than her. Here is a picture that the camp took of Samantha with her counselors and the other girls from the Mess Fest session…

We both survived the week although I still haven’t figured out if she wants to go to another week camp next year or not. :)
