Wilderness Camping: Journal
Camp's Frontiersmen Paddle 150 Miles
04.29.2010
Cameron Boys Camp's youngest group, the Frontiersmen, spent three weeks canoeing the Suwannee River in Florida. The group, led by their chiefs Adam Tahan and Jordan Bell, had a great time studying about birds during their trip and had a lot of fun with each other as they spent time swimming in the springs and in the river. The group celebrated their accomplishment by spending a day at the beach and exploring a lighthouse at Hunting Island State Park. They ate dinner at a Chinese buffet restaurant.
Trailblazers Conquer Four-Week Trip
04.29.2010
The Trailblazers group, led by chiefs David Choquette, Jadie Fuson and Matthew Lundy, successfully paddled 250 miles over a four-week period. The group started in the Okefenokee Swamp (the headwaters of the Suwannee River) in Georgia where they canoed past numerous alligators and went through the sill following the Suwannee River to the Gulf of Mexico. They had a lot of fun swimming in clear springs by the river. They also enjoyed seeing the different wildlife along the river such as armadillos, wild hogs, sturgeons, manatees and scorpions. The group celebrated their hard work by spending a day in Atlanta visiting the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site and watching an Atlanta Braves game.
Cameron Boys Camp Easter Celebration
04.06.2010
Cameron held its annual Easter sunrise service beside a lake on the camp property. The Rangers group led the service and chief Garth Thorpe delivered the message. An Easter egg hunt and egg toss was also held. Even though there was only one group at the time (the other groups are out on extended canoe trips), they had a lot of fun.
Cameron's Rangers Group Hiked the Uwharrie Trail
04.05.2010
The Rangers group from Cameron Boys Camp spent five days on a backpacking trip in the Uwharrie National Forest. The group had a lot of fun playing in the creeks and parachuting trees. They also took baths in the creeks and built shelters made out of debris to sleep in as part of their survival theme. The Rangers grew as a group as they looked out for each other's needs and took ownership of their group. They hiked 33 miles in preparation for a longer trip on the Appalachian Trail next month.
