Camp Grant Thank Yous Hi, my name is Michael Master. Over the Summer I was able to attend the Hume Lake Christian camp in Hume Lake, California with the help of the National Camp Grant, and it was really fun! During camp we learned all about Moses and what he did. Moses led his people out of Egypt and it was great to learn about all that he had to go through to make that happen. Some days I played disc golf with my friend and I lost a lot, but it was still fun. At night we would play UNO and watch some shows on Netflix. We also had night chapel in a really nice outdoor area where we would sing worship songs and have life groups. One night someone threw a bug-spray can with tape on the button into our room and it smelled really bad but was really funny. On Thursday we found out someone in our cabin had COVID so we had to go home early on Friday but all in all it was a great trip that I will always remember and I'm looking forward to going back again next summer. My name is David Keough. I joined BSA Troop 8 in Monument, CO earlier this year. This was my first summer camp. We went to San Isabel Scout Ranch in Rye, CO for 6 nights in June and slept in canvas tents. I took and earned 4 merit badges at camp: Metalwork, Fishing, Pioneering, and Indian Lore. My favorite part of camp was Wednesday when we went whitewater rafting. On Thursday we woke up at 4:30 for a sunrise hike and the sunrise was amazing. Thank you for the summer camp grant to help me pay for this experience. I can't wait to go to camp again next year! David Keough Hello Danish Sisterhood! I would just like to say I am so thankful for the opportunity I had to go to Camp this past summer. I had so much fun and met a lot of great people and made some awesome new friends. Thank you so much for the scholarship you provided so I was able to attend Camp Geneva, it was an absolute blast. My favorite part was probably playing volleyball and nukom in the water as well as pretty much all of the water activities. I also loved swinging in the hammocks and being able to talk to my cabin and get to know them. Ziplining was also so fun, even though it was a little scary at first. Below I attached a picture of me paddle boarding (before I stood up). Learning to paddleboard was super fun even when I had to give my paddle to friends because their boat was sinking. Once again I am so grateful for the scholarship you provided so I was able to attend this awesome camp for the final time before I aged out. Thank you so much! Esmeralda Gugino Also attending camp in the summer of 2021 and receiving a camp grant were: Hannah Kelsey (Lodge #78), Chloe Myers (Lodge #78), and Joslynne Christiansson (Lodge #165). The Sisterhood is happy to help these kids get to attend camp. We hope they all had a GREAT time. Danish Sisterhood News, November 2021
