OUR FIRST CAMPER!!!

Beep beep ... here comes the camp bus!

Only just over a week away, and the tension is mounting and pressure building as we scurry around to prepare everything for the 12 campers who will be here. Today, Hitty G took time to check out the ol' Camp Wanna Do bus. She says the bus still runs just fine and will be ready to meet campers at the Postal, and then bring them and their things to the Capital Convention Center where the early arrivals will stay until camp begins. The bus will come back for campers and transport them from the CCC to camp on Sunday, July 19. Rest assured, camper moms, we will spare nothing to ensure the safety, well being, and happiness of our little Hittys.

CAMP REGISTRATION CLOSED

The 12 lucky campers have been chosen, and there is no more room for 2009. But there's always next year, and the word is that there might (just might) be a Winter Camp. Stay tuned.

Space and time are dwindling...

Registration was to have ended on July 1, but we are extending it till July 6 for those who procrastinated. There are only a couple of spots left, so get them in quick and be sure to email ahead to campwannado@gmail.com and let us know so that we hold a spot for you.

Setting up

Camp Wanna Do

We are still in the process of checking equipment and preparing camp for occupancy, but we thought you might want to see what a part of the camp will look like and where your little campers will stay. I think you can just see a few of the cots inside the tents. There are more tents which have not yet been erected and some of the cots still need to be collected out of the storage bin. As you can see, our camp colors are pink, blue, and purple. Just behind the picnic table is the small tent occupied by the Camp Nurse ("Doc") who tends to any minor scrapes, bumps, or nervous campers with her standard efficiency.

where the girls will raft and spend time watching for water birds. It's also a popular spot for playing hide and go seek.

There are still a few spots remaining for the 2009 summer "We Like It Wild" session, beginning on July 19. If you are interested, please write us at CampWannaDo@gmail.com for information about how to enroll your Hitty.
