Well, the men survived Camp Steiner. They had an awesome time and the weather couldn't have been better - cool, but not too cold.
Two big high five's to both the boys who passed their cold water check in Scout Lake. Ya! Parker went on to earn his Rowing and Canoeing Merit Badge and he participated in the Canoeing races on the last day. Darek didn't earn any water merit badges, but he PASSED the cold water check which is a huge milestone for him. Way to go, boys!
The high point for Darek was earning his climbing merit badge. He learned to repell and climb on the cliffs at Steiner and according to his dad he is really good at it. He also earned his 2nd year round camping award, Indian Lore, Fish and Wildlife & Geology.
Parker was a busy beaver. He earned his rowing, canoeing, geology, cooking, first aid, orienteering, indian lore and his year round camping.
Both boys loved the rifle range where they showed everyone how good of shots they are. Parker could hit the target on the first shot every time. He was the rifle shooter in the leg of the Mountain Man relay.
The girls and I drove up on Friday and spent the day and night with them. We had a fabulous time watching the troop participate in the Battle of Steiner and performing their hilarious skit at the closing camp fire.
